President-elect, Bola Tinubu has settled the rift between Governor Nyesom Wike and Senator Magnus Abe, the 2023 governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the state.
Abe left the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2022 for the SDP to contest the governorship election in Rivers.
Before leaving the party, Abe was one of the political mobilisers for Tinubu’s presidential ambition.
The former lawmaker is one of the key allies of the president-elect in Rivers state.
However, the President-elect seized the occasion of his 2-day visit to Port Harcourt Rivers State, to resolve the differences between the two.
The development was disclosed by a Twitter user @Topboychriss.
He wrote: “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu today settled the rift between Governor Nyesom Wike and Senator Magnus Ngei Abe.
“Asiwaju is indeed a unifier. Atiku would have supported one against the other and created more division in the system.
“Thank you sir @officialABAT.”
