Former Senator Magnus Abe, who previously represented Rivers South-East senatorial district, has announced his return to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support President Bola Tinubu’s developmental agenda.
Abe, who was the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2023 general elections, revealed his decision to rejoin the ruling party during a stakeholder meeting with some members of SDP in Port Harcourt.
He confirmed that he has officially rejoined the APC.
Explaining his decision, Abe expressed his desire to collaborate with other Nigerians to support President Tinubu’s administration and ensure that the people of Rivers State are involved in national development initiatives.
Emphasizing the need for unity within the party, Abe stressed that all members, regardless of their positions, should work towards the progress of the APC. He also noted that the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the party, Mr. Tony Okocha, was a member of his team during his previous tenure in the APC.
Abe clarified that his decision to return to the APC was not based on individuals but on the party’s founding principles and grassroots support for President Tinubu.
He called for a collective effort to strengthen the party and advance its agenda.
“We are not joining the party because of an individual, but they are in the party as the founding members of the party and grassroots supporters of President Tinubu.
We believe that it is proper that we are in the party supporting President Tinubu’s developmental agenda,” Abe stated.
He urged all members of the party to approach their roles with an open mind and a commitment to the party’s progress, highlighting the importance of sincere dedication to the party’s growth and success.
