A massive crowd of Senator Magnus Abe's Supporters on Saturday embarked on a protest to express their displeasure and rejection of the governorship candidature of Arch.Tonye Cole for the 2019 governorship election in Rivers State.

Suanu's Blog recalls that Mr.Cole had emerged as the governorship candidate of the APC in Rivers State from the indirect primaries conducted by the APC in Rivers State. Abe on the other hand had also emerged as the governorship candidate of APC from a direct governorship primaries conducted by his own faction of the party. However, the National Working Committee of the APC adopted Arch.Tonye Cole as the flagbearer of the APC in Rivers State.

This decision angered Senator Abe who had on Friday rejected the action of the party's NWC and vowed to appeal the decision.

Today's protest which held in Bori, the traditional headquarters of the Ogoni People and the headquarters of Rivers South-East Senatorial District was a further demonstration of the rejection of the decision of the APC NWC.

The protesters who carried placards with various inscriptions are calling on the National Working Committee of the APC to recognise Senator Magnus Abe as the governorship candidate of the APC in Rivers State. They are also demanding compliance with the National Executive Committee of the party who had earlier endorsed direct primaries for Rivers State APC.

It may interest you to know that while Arch.Tonye Dele Cole, a Lagos based billionaire business man enjoys the anointing of the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Abe who represents Rivers South-East Senatorial District reportedly contested for the position against the blessing of Mr.Amaechi who is the Leader of the APC in Rivers State.
