Magnus Abe – People who Supported Tinubu In Rivers State Now Are Same People Who Stoned Him In 2015

Magnus Abe, the Rivers State Social Democratic Party’s governorship candidate during the 2015 general elections, has accused some of Bola Tinubu’s allies in Rivers State of stoning him at the Port Harcourt airport in 2015.

Abe alleged that the same individuals who stoned him while seeking support for then-presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari were present at a dinner hosted by the state government in honor of the former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu was in Rivers State to inaugurate a few projects on Governor Nyesom Wike’s invitation during the week, according to the report. In a statement shared on his Facebook page on Thursday, Abe claimed that violence had been unleashed on the Rivers people and that Tinubu was aware of it because he had been a victim of such attacks in the past.

The allegation by Abe has sparked conversations among Nigerians on social media, with many expressing their opinions on the matter. Some have called for an investigation into the incident, while others have expressed doubt about the veracity of the claim.

It is important to note that allegations of violence and intimidation during election campaigns are not new in Nigeria. Politicians and their supporters are known to engage in violent activities such as physical assault, arson, and destruction of property during electioneering campaigns.

However, it is also essential to uphold the rule of law and ensure that anyone who engages in such activities is held accountable for their actions. The Nigerian government and relevant authorities should investigate this allegation and take appropriate action if it is found to be true. It is only by doing so that we can build a society that is free from violence and intimidation.
