The people of Ogoni ethnic nationality of Rivers State, in a bid to produce the governor of the state in 2019, have come together to drum support for Senator Magnus Abe, in his aspiration to contest the seat on the platform of All Progressives Congress, APC.
The stakeholders in the area, who came together under the aegis of Ogoni Mandate Forum, OMF, said that their reason was to save their oil-rich area from political and economic marginalisation.
OMF, at its maiden briefing in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, yesterday, however, urged other ethnic groups in the state to back the call for an Ogoni governor and give opportunity for them (Ogoni) to produce the governor in 2019 in the interest of equity.
Spokesman of the body, Prince MeluBari Akekue, expressed concern that since the creation of the state, Rivers South-East senatorial district had not produced a governor, despite its huge economic contributions to the nation.
Akekue said: “There has been a gap in the political frame of Rivers State concerning the engagements of Ogoni people. Our concern is to bridge any relational gap that exists between Ogoni people and their neighbours.”

Okay

He will fail.
He should have remained loyal to Amaechi.
Now Amaechi has pulled the rug under his feet by snatching the entire party structure to himself.
Worst case scenario is that the court will order a fresh ward congress however it's Magnus on the loosing end coz Amaechi will not be in the ballot and Wike will be difficult to defeat especially with a divided APC.

Now let the fight begin...
