Eighteen of 32 House of Assembly candidates of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Rivers State have passed a vote of confidence on the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Magnus Abe.
Abe had a fortnight ago announced the withdrawal of his petition challenging the declaration of Siminalaye Fubara of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as winner of the March 18, 2023 governorship election in the state, saying his decision was in the interest of people of the state.
In a communique made available to LEADERSHIP Weekend in Port Harcourt yesterday, the 18 SDP candidates declared their unalloyed support for Abe.
The communique was signed by the forum’s chairman and acting secretary, Hon. Innocent Ajaelu and Hon. Igoma Isephemugh and 16 others.
