Rivers Governorship hopeful Sen. Magnus Abe has said that nobody can enslave Rivers people, as people of the state have never been slaves to anyone.
Abe, said this while reacting to the adoption of Arch. Tonye Cole as consensus candidate for the Rivers Governorship election by other governorship hopefuls.
According to him, Rivers people can chart their own destiny, noting that no amount of gang up can overtake the will of the people.
The former Federal lawmaker who rejected the consensus arrangement, advised his supporters to brace up for the fight ahead, which he said would not be easy.
“Rivers people have never been slaves to anybody and nobody no matter the amount of money you have, nobody can enslave us here in Rivers State. We can chart our own destiny,” he said.
“Let me assure you all that the road ahead will not be easy. Challenging the powers that have been established will not be easy, but you have the power, you have the capacity, you have the audacity if you’re willing to stand up and fight for what you believe.
“We are not afraid, I know that no amount of gang-p
up can over take the will of Rivers people if we make up our mind,” he added.
