Magnus Abe, one of the governorship aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Rivers State, has withdrawn from the primary election.
In a statement, Abe’s ally and South-South Coordinator of Bola Ahmed Tinibu (BAT) Vanguard, Tony Okocha said the Senator cannot be part of an “already skewed, biased and prejudiced process”.
The statement reads, “I have been receiving a myriad of calls from our colleagues concerning the Nation~Wide Assembly and Governorship Candidates Primaries of our darling party, APC.
“Please kindly take this as an official statement that we are not participating in an already skewed, biased, and prejudiced process in RIVERS.
“All our teeming supporters are advised not to dissipate scarce energies in a Process that will not pass muster. Comfortably lounge in houses and homes and be exceedingly happy, with no interest in the usual charade of APC Rivers.
“However, we enjoin ALL to remain vigilant as we continue to bring you up to speed with unfolding events.
“More than resolutely keep faith with the struggle. He who laughs last, laughs best.”
