Factional leader of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Sen. Magnus Ngei Abe has called on Governor Nyesom Wike to ensure a free, fair and credible local government election in the state.
The former senator, made this known during a meeting with stakeholders of the party, few days ago in Port Harcourt.
“We are challenging the governor of Rivers State to organize the election in the way he said he wanted elections to be organized and let Rivers people go out and contest. Test their popularity for the people to decide on those they want to run the affairs at the grassroots. That’s the purpose of politics,” he said.
“Wike has always talked about how he wants free and fair election without federal might and force, this is the time to show working,” he added
He confirmed that the APC will partake in the forthcoming LG poll, because it is a political party.
In addition, he urged Rivers people to come out in their numbers and participate in the election slated for April, 2021.
