Rivers APC: Abe Asks Loyalists To Stay Away
Senator Magnus Abe has urged his loyalists in the Rivers State chapter of the All progressives Congress (APC) to stay away from the Saturday ward congresses on the claim that they have been locked out of the process by the Rotimi Amaechi led mainstream.
Speaking to his loyalists and stakeholders drawn from all 23 Local Government Areas of the state, Abe said that the request was to keep them away from trouble even as he said that the group would appeal against the process.
According to him the revalidation of the members register that was supposed to enroll his followers had not been done.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the Rivers State chapter of the APC has been entangled in crisis since the period leading to the 2019 General Election. That crisis prevented the party from preventing candidates for that election.
Speaking on Friday, Abe said:
“Don’t take laws into your hands, I know that people have been provoked beyond reason, but please I want to publicly appeal to all members of this party, do not take the laws into your hands.
“Since you were not given forms to allow you to take part in the congress, leave it…, we will follow the party process, and we will formally complain to the national that this is what is happening.
“The registration and revalidation process which the national announced and promised that will take place in the state is still being awaited, and we are still believing and are sure that justice will be done in the party in the state.
Continuing, Abe said:
“Do not panic, fright or fight, and more importantly, I promise you that when we succeed, tomorrow will be better than today.
“Don’t be angry about anything that has happened in the party, there is no doubt that a lot has happened, but we must look for peace in the party, let us remain committed to the process of peace.
“I want to appeal to everybody once again, tomorrow (today), don’t go and waste your time, don’t go and fight them, or worry yourself, we will complain to the national…we will look for political solution for the problems that we face,” Abe concluded.
