A former member of the National Assembly, Magnus Abe, on
Thursday, said only the National Leader of All Progressives Congress, Bola
Tinubu, can deliver the presidency for the ruling party in 2023.
Abe stated this during a meeting with party stakeholders at
the inauguration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Vanguard at the Captain Elechi Amadi
Polytechnic in Port Harcourt.
Abe, who represented the Rivers South-East Senatorial
District, said for the ruling party to retain power after the regime of the
President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), only the former Lagos State
governor can get the job done.
“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.
“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.”
