Abe ally and former Chief of Staff, Rivers State Government House, Tony Okocha, made this known in a statement sent to newsmen in Port Harcourt today.
Abe has purchased the All Progressives Congress expression of intent and nomination forms for the 2023 governorship election in Rivers State.
According to him, the people of Rivers State were more interested in effective governance that would return power to the people, rather than politics.
Some APC stakeholders had after a recent meeting in Abuja adopted Lagos based businessman, Tonye Cole, as the party’s consensus candidate in the state.
Abe said, “I have already purchased my form to run for the primary election in our party, APC, and it will interest you to know that Rivers people from all across, contributed money to support me to get that form.
“Rivers people from every divide, every ethnic group, every political affiliation, every religious affiliation that you can think of, Muslims, Christians, people across the State, put in N20,000, some N1 million. They brought money to help me cross that barrier.
