Senator Magnus Abe, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the Rivers South East Senatorial District re-run election, has expressed fear that his life could be in danger because of what he alleged as the level of conspiracy against him by Governor Nyesom Wike.
Abe alleged that the level of conspiracy against him by Wike was an indication that his life was in danger. He stated that the governor and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state should be held responsible should anything happen to him.
Speaking at Silverbird Rhythm fm 93.7 news and current affairs programme, “The ViewPoint”, in Port Harcourt, Abe alleged that there had been a meeting of militants in Ogoni sponsored and masterminded by Wike against him.
“There is an evil in Rivers State and I have chosen to speak against it. If anything happens to me, Nigerians, Rivers, Ogoni people and my family should hold Governor Nyesom Wike and his PDP people responsible because the threat against my life is too much”, the senator alleged.
Abe said that he fears a situation where he could be attacked and the Rivers State government led by Wike would paint a picture that his people killed him because of the Yeghe crisis. He noted that the Ogoni people love him and would not do such except outsiders or those who could be sponsored by the state government.
Abe, who is a former Secretary to the State Government added that Wike had in Luuwa, Khana Local Government Area, during the 50th birthday of Senator Lee Maeba, charged his supporters to stop him by all means.
