Abe Cautions Rivers Youths against Godfatherism

    Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt

    The former Senator Representing Rivers South East Senatorial District, Senator Magnus Abe, has advised Rivers State youths to stop replying on the godfather syndrome, which he noted has badly affected the society.

    Abe urged the youths to focus on their dreams and aspirations for better future and impactful development of the society.

    The former senator gave the advised at an interactive session organised for Rivers’ youths, in Port Harcourt.

    He advised the youths to “believe in yourselves and support merit and competence in enthronement of an enduring leadership, which would be commitment to building a society that gives the rich and poor equal opportunities.”

    Abe said he was still consulting towards contesting 2023 Rivers governorship. 

    He said: “It’s pretense to say I have all the answers to whatever challenges our state is facing. Or to pretend that somehow I am not part of whatever may have been the mistakes or issues of our states in the past.

    “I am part of whatever success we have had in Rivers state because I have been in Rivers politics at least from 1998 or so. I am also part of whatever failures.

    “But in course of whatever success or failure we have put together, we have also acquired experience. We have better ideas. We know the things that will not work and can work.”
