Abe: we reject kangaroo process
Governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Senator Magnus Abe, has said the party will not accept the emergence of any governorship candidate from a kangaroo process.
Abe insisted that nobody, inspite of wealth or social status, could enslave Rivers people.
A statement by his spokesperson, Parry Benson, said Abe spoke at the National School Field, Okrika, during a meeting with the people of Okrika and Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area. He noted that Rivers people would not allow anybody enslave them through crooked maneuvering, and so advised his supporters to brace up for the fight ahead ‘which will not be easy’.
He said: “I have said it before and want to say it again, that Rivers people have never been slaves to anybody and, nobody, no matter the amount of money he has, can enslave us. We can chart our own destiny. Let me assure you all that the road ahead will not be easy but you have the power, the capacity and audacity, and I know that we can do it. We will do it and we’ll win.
“I will present myself to the Rivers people and if they decide to choose a better person over me through a transparent process, I will support that person. We must have a clear and transparent process. But if they bring somebody through a Kangaroo process, we will not accept. We will challenge it.”
A former member of the Rivers State House of Assembly and APC stalwart, Golden Ben Chioma, said members of the party unanimously agreed to support the aspiration of the party’s national leader, Bola Tinubu, to become Nigeria’s president in 2023.
