Magnus Abe, a former member of the Senate from Rivers South-East Senatorial District and Rivers state governorship aspirant, has said that the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is the only presidential aspirant in the APC capable of winning the 2023 election.
Senator Abe made the comment during a meeting with party stakeholders at the inauguration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Vanguard at the Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic in Port Harcourt.
He noted that Tinubu is the only presidential aspirant in the APC to retain the apex seat in the country after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Tinubu is the only man that can deliver the killer punch that will make the APC to remain in power after President Muhammadu Buhari leaves.
“Whether Tinubu wins the APC ticket or not, I will contest the governorship of Rivers State and still stand a chance of winning. We must choose the APC candidate that will deliver the APC in Rivers State,” he stated.
Abe, however, added that he will continue to support the party irrespective of whoever emerges as the APC’s flagbearer to contest the presidential election.

Abe, however, added that he will continue to support the party irrespective of whoever emerges as the APC’s flagbearer to contest the presidential election.
“The reason I am supporting him is simple. I looked at all who want to run, who claim they have done this and that and I saw that Asiwaju is the person in APC that can deliver.
“I was not being sentimental, he did not tell me he was going to support me, no. I support him because I want the party to win.
