"We're All Guilty": Senator Abe Admits Widespread Anti-Party Activities in Rivers State
Port Harcourt, Rivers State – Senator Magnus Abe has sparked controversy by admitting widespread anti-party activities during the recent elections in Rivers State, declaring, “We’re all guilty.” In an exclusive interview, Senator Abe, a prominent figure in Rivers State politics, acknowledged his own involvement and implicated several other key political figures.
Abe, while refusing to directly address current political controversies, used the analogy of a political firefight, stating, "If you have fired and you receive fire, don't complain, but you can call for a cease-fire if you are tired." He then proceeded to lay bare what he described as pervasive anti-party actions across the political spectrum.
He explicitly stated that he himself engaged in anti-party activities, actively supporting Bola Tinubu's presidential campaign while hindering the SDP candidate’s efforts in Rivers State. He further implicated the FCT Minister, the current Rivers State Governor, and leaders from both the PDP and APC, alleging that each prioritized personal political interests over party loyalty.
“The PDP leaders that are with Fubara today, did anti-party. They did not support the PDP governorship candidate, Fubara at that time, they supported the APC candidate. The APC leaders also did anti-party. They did not support the APC presidential candidate, they supported the PDP presidential candidate,” Abe revealed.
Abe's comments highlight a complex web of political allegiances and betrayals. He pointed out the hypocrisy of focusing solely on Governor Wike’s actions, suggesting that Wike’s success in his anti-party maneuverings is the reason for the current outcry. "So, all of us did anti-party… it was because we were trying to advance our political interests," he concluded.
Senator Abe's revelations are sure to reignite tensions within the political landscape of Rivers State and raise questions about the integrity of the electoral process.
