The Rivers State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Chief Tony Okocha has welcomed the decision of Senator Magnus Abe to join the party describing his decision as a well thought out.
Abe was the Governorship Candidate of the Social Democratic Party, (SDP) in the last general elections.
A supporter of President Bola Tinubu, Abe recently joined the APC in his home state, Rivers.
In a statement on Saturday, Okocha said “As the Chairman and leader of the APC in Rivers, I welcome Senator Magnus Abe back to his Political family. I reiterate that he is a valued asset to the Party and our dear Rivers State.
Okocha also thanked former Governor of Rivers State and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), Nyesom Wike who he described as the leader and Generalissimo of Politics in Rivers State for reconciling with Magnus Abe.
He said the reconciliation between Wike and Abe is indeed, a masters stroke at a time when grabbers and hawks prowl the Rivers State political space.

“To the doubting Thomases, I announce again that the APC Rivers has happily received back our own, to the fold”, Okocha said.
He called on Abe to bring to the fore, his vast experience in Party building as well as his profound commitment to the growth and development of Rivers State.”
“Senator Abe is a full-blown and conscious and consenting adult. He is not a character to be led by the nose by anyone no matter how highly placed in Nigeria, Rivers State or anywhere else.
“Senator Abe has been very conspicuous in the political history book of Rivers State. He had occupied positions of trust and responsibilities either as elected representative or appointed into very crucial offices in Rivers State at one time or the other, where he exuded capacity and intellectual confidence to the point of a role model.
“In an Assembly dominated by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in 1999, Senator Magnus Abe of the All Peoples’ Party (APP), was a vocal voice.”
