A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers
State, Senator Magnus Abe says it is not true that President Muhammadu Buhari
has nominated his successor ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
He was reacting to rumours that the Minister of Transport
Chibuike Amaechi has been nominated by the President to succeed him.
Senator Abe also described as “premature” the ongoing
jubilation by some members of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State
that the Minister has been nominated to replace the president.
The former federal lawmaker was speaking while addressing
some members of the APC in Port-Harcourt on Monday.
According to Abe: “When you get up and nothing has happened,
then you make yourself very happy. It is called premature ejaculation. That is
what is happening in the All Progressives Congress here in Rivers State.
“Nothing has happened, people are already making themselves
happy. They are going around telling people that President Buhari has appointed
his successor. I am a member of the All Progressives Congress, I want to stand
here and tell you people that I am not aware that the president has nominated
anybody to be President. Nobody and that is not what I think is the plan of
this party.
“The plan of this party is to ensure that party members will
have the opportunity to pick who will succeed President Buhari as the
flag-bearer of the party”.
He said in a few months to come, all the noise by some
members of the party would cease.
He encouraged members of the party to continue their
grassroots mobilization in the interest of the party ahead of the election.
