The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Rivers State, Senator Magnus Abe has revealed why he ended war with Governor Nyesom Wike.

Abe, in a statement by his spokesperson, Parry Saroh Benson said:

“The dynamics of the politics have changed. Wike and the G-5 now have an alliance with the APC at the national level and that alliance affects the dynamics of what is happening in the state.”

“Now, we looked at it that if we continue our battle in the court at this point, we will end up in direct confrontation with the President-elect, who has clearly by his body language and the alliance between the APC and the G-5, taken a clear position as far as the issue is concerned.”

“If we continue with this battle, we will be continuing on our own and we will not be able to get any institutional support.”

Recall that after the governorship election in the state, Abe and his party had approached the Rivers State Governorship Election Tribunal to challenge the victory of Governor Nyesom Wike’s PDP candidate, Siminalayi Fubara.
