Rivers All Progressives Congress, APC, Chieftain, Senator Magnus Abe has commended the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike for taking concrete measures to resolve the challenges facing the state.

Speaking during a funeral service in honour of Late Mrs Fyna Oby Atuzie-Boms, Wife of Former Attorney General of Rivers State, Barrister Worgu Boms at the Civic Centre in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Senator Abe said while some people were looking for the causes of Rivers political challenges, Governor Wike is seeking solutions.

He said: “I want to stand here today to confirm that you are trying. I want to remember the broadcast you made where you said we should all come together and you were going to enter a nolle in respect of our younger brother, Ojukaye Flag Amachree.

“I also want to recollect all the efforts you have made, not just in words, but in action to end the bitterness and division that have characterised the politics of Rivers State. I want to say here today that some people are busy looking for who is causing the problem. But you are trying to look for solutions.

“I think we should align with those who are looking for solutions and leave those who are looking for causes.”

Senator Magnus Abe regretted that bitterness and hatred have characterised the politics of Rivers State, making it impossible for Rivers people to come together to fight for Rivers Development.

“The greatest challenge that Rivers State faces today is not all the things we have mentioned. It is the fact that hatred, bitterness have characterized our politics and have divided us in a way that we have never been divided before.

“It has made it impossible for us to come together to face the challenges that are confronting our state. I want to thank the Governor of Rivers State for leading by example. I have always said Your Excellency should be a Governor to all Rivers people, both those that like joy and those that don’t. Those that voted for you and those that did not”, Senator Abe said.
