Senator Magnus Abe has expressed his willingness to join forces with the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike to work for the realization of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu second’s term bid in 2027.
Abe said that he returned to the All Progressives Congress, APC, to work with the caretaker committee chairman of the party, in Rivers state, Chief Tony Okocha, adding that it was the best decision to reconcile with both the FCT Minister and Okocha.
“Amaechi drove to my house in the presence of my wife and told me that he knew I could win an election. He said should not dare to contest because I did not even have the money to pay delegates. In another meeting at The Dome, he told the elders of the party that if I dare to contest the election, he would destroy the party”, Abe recalled.
“I went to Amaechi, the then Governor and told him since you have chosen Dakuku from the minority as Governor, it will be better to have Senator Wilson Ake who has maturity and experience from a majority ethnic group to be a deputy governor to Dakuku. Amaechi immediately said if there was an Abe faction of the APC in the state”.
