I’m riverine because I’m indigene of Rivers, declares Sen Abe

A governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Rivers State, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, yesterday declared that being a Rivers man automatically covered him as a riverine indigene of the state.

Abe, who made the declaration while speaking at the expanded State Executive Committee (SEC) meeting of the APC in Port Harcourt, called on the people of the state to support his aspiration in order to bring the state back on track.

He said: “I want to stand here and say that I am riverine because I am a Rivers man. The most important thing is not because there is a river in Bera (his home town in Gokana), but the fact that I am a Rivers man and I have the interest of all Rivers men at heart.
