APC chieftain charges Abe to accept party supremacy
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has charged Senator Magnus Abe to humbly take the advice of the National Leader of the party, Senator Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and honour the party’s supremacy.
Chief Eze quoted the National leader of APC, Senator Tinubu as stating that “Party is supreme. Party must be respected. Abuses will not do it and anger will not do it. It is party politics, somebody will win and somebody will lose, too bad”.
Throwing more light on the stand of the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, Chief Eze also quoted the Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu as saying, “Therefore, the candidature of Arch. Tonye Cole along with his running mate, Hon. Victor Giadom remains inviolate.
The list of our candidates for the governorship, National Assembly, and House of Assembly has been processed by the NWC according to the INEC guidelines.”
In a statement issued and circulated in Port Harcourt on Friday, Chief Eze advised Senator Abe to retrace his steps based on those facts.
He stated that Abe should embrace peace and tow the path of honour by desisting from alleged ‘de-marketing’ of the APC, adding “the party’s rules must be respected.
“I advise my friend to tow the path of peace and honour and forgo the goal of de-marketing the APC,” he said.
The APC chieftain commended INEC and the APC NWC in their recent press statements in which they reinstated faith in the election of Ambassador Tonye Cole as the authentic gubernatorial candidate of the party in Rivers State.
“With this development, Abe should retrace his steps and work with the party to achieve victory both at the state and national levels if he truly still considers himself as a true APC member,” he advised.
