Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in
the Rivers South East Senatorial District re-run election has expressed
fear that his life could be in danger because of the level of conspiracy
against him by Governor Nyesom Wike.
Speaking at Silverbird Rhythm fm 93.7 news and current affairs programme
tagged: “The ViewPoint”, in Port Harcourt, Abe said that there had been a
meeting of militants in Ogoni sponsored and masterminded by Governor
Nyesom Wike against him.
“There is an evil in Rivers State and I have chosen to speak against it.
If anything happens to me, Nigerians, Rivers, Ogoni people and my family
should hold Governor Nyesom Wike and his PDP people responsible because
the threat against my life is too much”.
Abe said that he fears a situation where he could be attacked and the
Rivers State government led by Wike would paint a picture that his people
killed him because of the Yeghe crisis.
He noted that the Ogoni people love him and would not do such except
outsiders or those who could be sponsored by the state government.
He said that the governor and PDP were seeing him as a strong voice from
APC that must be silenced at all cost.
The former Secretary to the State Government narrated how the governor at
Luuwa in Khana Local Government Area during the 50th birthday of Senator
Lee Maeba had charged his supporters to stop him by all means, pointing
out that he specifically said to stop and not to vote against him.
He further said the ripples of the threat were beginning to manifest with
the Yeghe crisis, attempt to malign his reputation and now a meeting of
the militants.
He stated that all their plans would fail as Ogoni people are now wiser.
