Senator Magnus Abe has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, as the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, stressing the need for party unity ahead of the forthcoming bye-elections.
Abe made the statement on Monday while speaking to journalists after aspirants aligned with Wike emerged winners in the APC primaries for the Ahoada East Constituency II and Khana Constituency II contests.
“As far as Rivers State is concerned, the Minister of the FCT is the leader of the APC here,” Abe said, adding that there was no confusion or dispute over leadership roles within the party.
He called on party members across the state to revalidate their membership and rally behind the APC.
“We are all working together in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Rivers State will deliver the highest percentage of votes for the Renewed Hope family in this country,” he said.
Abe said the party’s focus was on unity and collective commitment ahead of the bye-elections scheduled for February 21.
The APC primaries were held to select candidates for the by-elections, which will fill vacant seats in the Rivers State House of Assembly.
