Abe Accuses Fubara Supporters of Self-Serving Motives, Targeting Wike

Port Harcourt, Rivers State –

Former Senator Magnus Abe, speaking at a Rivers State stakeholders' event, leveled serious accusations against politicians backing Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Abe alleged that their support stems not from genuine concern for the state but from a desire to advance their personal political ambitions, particularly to undermine Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.

"Nobody is with Governor Fubara because they love Rivers State or the governor," Abe declared. "They are with him because they see him as a tool to achieve their political goal—to bring down the FCT Minister."

Abe's comments were forceful, referencing the recent governorship election, where, he claimed, many of those now supporting Fubara engaged in anti-party activities by backing candidates from other political parties. He cited specific examples of political figures who, while supporting Fubara, had previously supported other candidates, including the APC presidential candidate.

"Everyone did anti-party," Abe noted. "But the only one people keep talking about is the one done by Nyesom Wike, and that's because he succeeded." Abe concluded by urging the governor and his political allies to recognize the motivations behind the support they were receiving and to instead focus on the welfare of the state.

The former senator challenged Fubara to prioritize collaboration with genuine patriots of the state rather than pursuing an agenda that could ultimately jeopardize the state's future. He also cautioned that support may wane if Fubara's agenda proves incompatible with the personal political interests of his supporters.

Abe's statement has stirred significant debate within the state's political circles, raising questions about the underlying motivations driving recent political alignments.
