[color=#006600][/color] APC candidate in Rivers. Hmmm

Congratulations Tonye Cole. I wish Rivers people will go for a technocrat like Tonye Cole.

So a whole Magnus Abe got 1 vote? And you want me to believe it was a fair process?

BTW, was there parallel primaries in Rivers this one we are getting conflicting reports?

That of magnus abe is a kangaroo and illegal primary.that of amechi is lawful and duly recognized by apc and inec

The NWC approved only ONE mode of Primaries for Rivers APC and that is Indirect Primaries...

The team led by Lawal Jafaru Isa (who also served as Returning Officer) conducted the authentic primary and this was monitored by INEC and security agents.

Magnus Abe can tell us who conducted his own primary.

It seems that the pro-Amaechi group is the OP and same person commenting. If I am to go with the statement of Senator Magnus Abe on Channels TV while addressing a mammoth crowd that attended his declaration,then APC is unjust and this kind of divisive primary will destroy the chances of APC in Rivers state. I don't know why APC can't stick to direct primaries like it did to other states in similar situations like Rivers APC.
Magnus Abe has declared that he won't be part of the primary if it is indirect and I believe that he didn't participate in this primary has earlier stated by him on Channels TV

Abe should meet them in pdp

As a neutral observer,I think this direct and indirect primaries thing is suddenly revealing who the real politicians with the backing of the majority of party members are.
I still consider it very strange that it's a former state governor who is avoiding direct primaries. I just don't get it. Earlier I thought it was even Magnus Abe that was insisting on direct until I saw that video of his declaration.
I think the national APC should go for direct primaries,especially in Rivers state and Kaduna.

In other words, Magnus must have his way or no one else will

Just 2 questions:

1. Was it direct or indirect primaries Magnus used in emerging as APC's Senatorial candidate in the 2014 Primaries


2. Which register was used to conduct the direct primaries Magnus Abe claims to have won today


PS: Senator Dave and I are two different people.

Great...

I can't wait to see Tonye slug it out with Wike, this will be a huge test of Wike's might.

Way to go man...

Intriguing times ahead for our nascent democracy...

So why didn't Magnus Abe and co vote in the Presidential Primaries? The presidential primaries was Direct Primaries, yet him and his faction did not vote, why?

That is the end of the matter. APC is nothing in Rivers

APC Rivers State is high on something......parallel primaries....and they want to unseat wicked WIKE? in there dreams.

This has shown that Magnus Abe can never be a governor in Rivers.

Wike is using him to divide APC and APC knows that and has moved on without him.

He went ahead to conduct charade direct primary in his native Ogoni land declared himself winner and boycotted the indirect primary approved by national working committee of APC.

Approved indirect primary was conducted by guber primary committee from the national working committee of APC and observed by INEC.

Question for Abe:

1) Who approved his own primary?

2) Who conducted his primary?

3) Where were the guber primary committee of national working committee of APC?

4) Why didn't INEC observed his own election?

5) Why no security men to protect law and order?

So i can wake up one morning and conduct my own primary and go to media to announce it and address the public does it make it legal.

Magnus Abe's juju is so strong on his supporters for them not to know that they've been deceived for so long.

Who is Magnus Abe? Is it to appear in every media house every day from Channels to AIT, TVC, NTA and all radio stations in Port Harcourt making himself feel he's on ground.

A butterfly that calls himself a bird.

How can Abe be in APC but his support base are PDP members he nevers condemns Wike when he goes wrong any Saturdays APC or it's members fixes an event Wike will try to scuttle it by fixing unimaginary sanitation.

Abe reminds APC of Tambuwal, Saraki and Dogara while they were in APC they became opposition to it's party while PDP and it's supporters loved them, today they're back to PDP.

So APC do not want another Tambuwal.

DeZoro:
That is the end of the matter. APC is nothing in Rivers

We've heard this so many times but today Rivers APC has three senators, house of rep members, house of assembly members. But we know Magnus Abe will soon join PDP then we'll be left with two senators.

After 2019 election we would all know if APC is nothing in Rivers.

But the party secretariat cleared him.

If he was what you are saying he is, why didn't they give him the Mama Taraba treatment?

And remember this man won the Senate in APC, when did his support base go to PDP

If this is true, then Abe just shot himself in the leg

They conducted two primaries. Abe won the other one

Ogoni people wont like this
