Former governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Rivers State, Senator Magnus Abe, has congratulated the newly appointed ministers and subsequently the assignment of different portfolios.

The former Rivers South-east Senatorial District Senator, commended the ministers and other appointees by President Bola Tinubu in a statement he posted on his Facebook account.

According to the post, Senator Abe expressed confidence that the ministers designate were opportune to serve with an outstanding leader who he said is known for his ability to provide clear direction, sufficient resources and precise targets that none can afford to miss.

Abe also congratulated former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, Rivers nominee who has been assigned as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), Attorney General and Minister of Justice designate.

The statement further stated that although Nigeria is facing serious economic, security and social challenges, President Tinubu should be given an opportunity to focus on what he knows how to do best; Transform lives and create better opportunities for all Nigerians.

He said: “Nigeria is facing serious economic, security and social challenges, however, we should all recognise that a time of great challenges is also a time of great opportunities.

“It is therefore, a unique opportunity for this team of eminent Nigerians to write their names in gold by joining hands with President Tinubu to return our country to the path of unity and prosperity.

“I have no doubt that you will all do well as you are opportune to serve with an outstanding leader who is known for his ability to provide clear direction, sufficient resources and precise targets that none can afford to miss.

“His leadership and tenacity will enable you all to succeed and emerge with flying colours.

“I particularly congratulate His Excellency, Nyesom Wike and an adopted son of the State, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN. I wish you both well in your new assignment and assure you and all other members of the incoming cabinet of my prayers and goodwill at all times”.

He noted that all power is transient but the impact of power exercised with humility and the fear of God can transcend generations, ‘that is my prayer for you all’.

“Nigerians of all political, religious, and tribal persuasions are depending on you all and you cannot afford to fail”.

He therefore, “Urge all Nigerians, particularly the political class to give maximum support and cooperation to this administration for the sake of our country.”
