The lawmaker representing Rivers Southeast Senatorial District, Senator Magnus Abe, has said he will not leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) for any other party.
In a chat with reporters Tuesday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, Abe said he believed in the ideology of the APC, adding that “APC is more than a political party. APC is an ideology that Nigerians have imbibed, which is the ideology of change. The belief that a group of people have come together to do things right. That is what APC represents. That is why we are here.”
He said that as one of the founding members of the APC in Rivers State, he has worked with others and laboured to build the party in the state, noting that the party is a vehicle for the progress, peace and development of the state, within Nigeria’s political expression.
“In APC, the foundation, the philosophy is that the right thing must be done. So, nobody in APC can stand up in public and say he or she wants to do the wrong thing. It is. In another gathering, people can do that and it will be accepted, but in APC, nobody can do it. That is why you keep hearing Nigerians saying they said change, because people expect that there are standards in the APC that do not exist in anywhere else.
“There is absolutely no possibility to leave where we want to make things right and go to where there is no plan to make things right. There is nothing that will make us leave where we believe things will happen.
“We will continue to look up to the leaders of the party to make things happen. The party is committed to make things happen. So, if I leave it, where will I go?”
Abe urged Rivers politicians to pay more attention to the development of the state, as he expressed optimism that the disagreement in the state chapter of the APC would soon be resolved.
“What is happening in the party (APC), ordinarily, should not be strange. What is making it strange is that certain things appear to be targeted at a particular individual, which should not be so,” he said, expressing optimism that leaders of the party would ensure justice, fairness and equity.
