Abe Wants Youths To Support Amaechi

The Senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Magnus Abe, has urged Rivers youths to support Governor Chibuike Amaechi in his struggle to defend democracy in Nigeria.

He made the call during the inauguration of the Kenule Saro-Wiwa Students’ Centre, which he secured for Ogoni students in Bori, headquarters of  Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Abe stated that Governor Amaechi’s fight was not for his own benefit, but to enable Nigerians experience the kind of democracy that would be beneficial to all and sundry, irrespective of their class, religion and tribe.

“I want to use this opportunity to urge all of you to continue to support our dear governor, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, in this fight to make democracy beneficial to Nigerians. He is not fighting for himself but for Nigerians, irrespective of class, religion, or tribe,” he said.

The lawmaker, who is also Chairman, Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), pledged to provide computer sets and one year free internet subscription as well as a staff, who must be a student, to manage facilities at the centre.

Earlier in his remarks, the President of the National Union of Ogoni Students (NUOS), Comrade Kpuinen Meedubari, pledged continued support to Governor Amaechi and Senator Abe, in appreciation of their contributions to the development of students in the state.

Abe later, at his senatorial office, Bori, presented certificate to graduates of his skills enhancement scheme in partnership with the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency.
