the Independent National Electoral Commission and the state govenor-elect, Siminalaye Fubara from the State Election Petitions Tribunal.
Abe, who made the announcement yesterday while addressing SDP stakeholders at Freedom House, in Port Harcourt, said his decision to withdraw the petition was personal and not binding on any other member of the party. The SDP governorship candidate said: “The interest of our state has always been and will remain paramount to me. We cannot at any state of our politics put our own interest above the interest of those who have sacrificed so much to follow us.
“We cannot at any stage of politics put what we call our ego above every other considerations in our state. We must learn as politicians to be pragmatic and put the interest of Rivers State and Rivers people above every other interests. “Having taken a very clear review of the situations in the state and what is happening in the state, I have decided, in consultation with the party both at the national and at the state, that I, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, will withdraw my petition at the Election Petitions Tribunal in the interest of those who have suffered and sacrificed in support of our cause.
