The All Progressives Congress, APC senator representing Rivers South East constituency, Magnus Abe, has maintained that he will contest for governorship election of the state.
He said that he resolved to contest the elections after the Minister of Transportation and Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation, Rotimi Amaechi, humiliated him by telling him not to contest in the presence of his wife.
Abe said, “My grievances with the transportation minister has nothing to do with him supporting me or not. I have told him clearly that he is free to support who he wants. My disagreement with him is that he said I should not run, and I said I would run.”
