Senator Magnus Abe, a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, has said that the new Chairman of the party, Ojukaye Flag-Amachree, does not have right to speak for the APC.

Abe, who represents Rivers South-East senatorial district at the National Assembly, maintained that Amachree’s election had been voided by a competent court of law, describing him as a factional chairman.
Abe, during a visit of the new party executives to Gokana Local Government Area of the state, his LGA, urged them to remain peaceful.
Abe said: “I urge Ogoni people every where to remain peaceful and law-abiding in the face of provocation as the Flagg-Amachree-led factional executive of the party organises a rally in Gokana.”
Abe, in a statement in Port Harcourt by his spokesperson, Parry Benson, said that the move was intended to provoke the peace-loving people of Gokana against themselves for selfish political gains.
