Abe’s Group Blasts Ex-Rivers Commissioner Over Belema Oil

Senator Magnus Ngei Abe
Campaign Organization has described the statement credited to a member of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Commissioner for Information in Rivers State, Emma Okah linking the National Assembly member representing Rivers South-East and the Senatorial Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC)in the next month election, Senator Magnus Abe, (PDP) to Belema Oil as mischievous, and  cheap blackmail.
The campaign organization, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt and signed by the Head of Publicity, Abe Campaign Organisation, Honour Sirawoo, described the allegations as misleading falsehood.
He noted that Sen. Abe on receiving the news of Belema Oil replacing Shell in Ogoniland condemned it and warned against the move by those behind it if there was no clean up of the land.
The statement therefore expressed surprise that the  lawmaker was linked to Belema Oil  after he had earlier condemned it, stating that  if, Barr. Okah was leaving in a borrowed rope on the basis of his incursion into journalism in order to make ends meet; he should as a lawyer be aware of the legal implications of certain actions and statements.
The statement cautioned politicians over issues that are sensitive, alleging that majority of Nigerian people have suffered undeserved hardship in the hands of the PDP led Federal Government under President Goodluck Jonathan and least expected more provocation to their already battered psyche, life and eco-system.
The organization described Senator  Abe as a contented and worthy son of Ogoniland who has demonstrated immense love for the land through his actions both as a politician and an Ogoniman, adding that no amount of smear campaign will change the peoples’ resolve to re-elect the Senator
It  commended various groups and individuals that had criticized the author of the frivolous allegations against Senator Abe, assuring that the APC candidate will seek legal redress if the statement is not retracted within seven days and unreserved apology tendered by Barr. Emma Okah.
