The 2023 governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Rivers State, Magnus Abe, says he will dump the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Politically, I am heading back for the APC,” Abe said on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday.
Abe, an ally of President Bola Tinubu, ran for governorship in the oil-rich state on March 18 but lost to Siminalayi Fubara of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He also failed to emerge as minister representing Rivers as Tinubu instead opted for Nyesom Wike, the immediate past governor as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
