Senator Magnus Abe has stated the following reasons why he is supporting the presidential ambition of former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Abe said having looked at other aspirants, it is only Tinubu that can win the presidential election for the All Progressives Congress, APC, after President Muhammadu Buhari.
Abe, who is also a Rivers State governorship aspirant, said his support for Tinubu was far from any sentiment but because he wants to be part of a winning team.
He said, “the reason I am supporting him is simple. I looked at all who want to run, who claim they have done this and that and I saw that Asiwaju is the person in APC that can deliver that killer punch that will keep the party in power after Buhari.
“I was not being sentimental, he did not tell me he was going to support me, no. I support him because I want the party to win.
“I know I cannot afford to be on the periphery of the government in the next 8 years.”
