Abe, a senator who represented Rivers South-East in the National Assembly and the APC’s Rivers State factional leader, made the announcement yesterday at the inauguration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Vanguard for Wards 4, 5 and 6 in the state’s Gokana Council.
Abe’s announcement comes just a week after ten APC gubernatorial contenders loyal to Transportation Minister Chibuike Amaechi inked a pledge to back whoever emerges as the party’s standard bearer for the 2023 general election.
It implies he will run with the other ten APC governorship candidates for the party’s governorship ticket.
Abe stated that he would back anyone who emerges as the APC’s gubernatorial candidate in the state after a free, fair, and equitable election, warning that anything less would be rejected
