Magnus Abe,Rivers

Former Rivers State Senator, Magnus Abe, says Governor Siminalayi Fubara, cannot be called the state’s leader. Abe made the claim while speaking on the cold war between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on TVC’s programme, Politics Night.

The ex-senator, who was a former governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the 2023 elections, said being the state leader was a great deal beyond governing the state. He said, “Being a governor has made him the leader of the government of Rivers State. But when you say political leader, that is something that you have to work to earn.

But to say he is the political leader of Rivers will be putting leadership into a broad context. And it takes time to get there. It takes bringing people together. You earn trust. “As a governor, you have the opportunity to get there, but I don’t think it is conferred,” he added. Drawing a contextual, Abe said the late Aminu Kano was the political leader of Kano despite not being a governor at the time.
