Senator Magnus Abe has resigned his membership of the All-Progressive Congress (APC) ahead of the Rivers State primary.

Reports suggest that he is considering another party to realize his governorship ambition.

Abe announced his withdrawal from the contest through the South-South Coordinator of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Support Vanguard (BATS-V) Tony Okocha.

According to Okocha, Abe’s aspiration to govern the state is on course.

“I have been receiving a myriad of calls from our colleagues concerning the Nationwide Assembly and Governorship Candidates Primaries of our darling party, APC.

Please kindly take this as an Official Statement that we are not participating in an already skewed, biased and prejudiced process in Rivers State.

Our teeming supporters are advised not to dissipate scarce energies in a process that will not pass muster.

Comfortably lounge in houses and homes and be exceedingly happy, with no interest in the usual charade of APC Rivers.

However, we enjoin all to remain vigilant as we continue to bring you up to speed with unfolding events.

More than resolutely keep faith with the struggle.

He who laughs last, laughs best” the statement reads.
