A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and Rivers governorship hopeful, Sen. Magnus Abe says the party would lose the 2023 governorship election if it goes into it the way things stands.
Abe who made this known in a chat with journalists, said the party should not expect a different result than the loss it suffered in 2019.
According to him, the party in the state has lost its bearing and not in a position to win elections.
Abe noted that he would be on the ballot in next year’s election, which is why he launched the “Project SMA2023′.
The former lawmaker, also said a lot of work needs to be done in the state, despite the fact that governor Nyesom Wike has done well.
“The party having lost bearing in the state, should not expect a different result than the loss it got in the 2019 Rivers governorship if it goes into next year’s election the way things stands,” he said.
“Project SMA 2023 is a partnership with the ordinary Rivers people, that takes their interest and their own future into consideration. Not everybody is going to be a commissioner, local government chairman, a minister, not everybody is going to be a senator. But everybody wants to be safe, to have a roof over his head, be respected in whatever they are doing,” he added.
On Gov. Wike he said, “I think it will be unfair not to admit that as far as the things he set out to do in terms of infrastructures, the Governor has done very well. Anybody making an objective analysis of his tenure will be kind to him that he did his best, but there is still a lot of work to be done in Rivers.
