" Magnus Abe and his Politics of Violence and Desperation" - By John Diidi

Since the cancellation of the 2015 House of Assembly and NASS elections in Rivers state in November 2015, the Senatorial candidate of the APC for the Rivers South East Zone, Magnus Abe has gone about his ambition in the most devastating manner, orchestrating wide range of violence to intimidate, frighten voters and also gain sympathy votes by playing the victim card.

On Feb 22nd and Feb 23rd 2016, Magnus Abe ordered a military invasion on Ogoni Land, namely the villages of Yeghe, Zaakpor and the Traditional headquarters of the Ogoni Kingdom, Bori which led to the murder of several innocent Ogoni sons and daughters including a pregnant woman in a bid to clamp down on his Political opponent Solomon Ndigbara, a man who he felt posed a big challenge to his ambition and his rigging plot.

The outcome of the march 19th Rerun Election which led to the total cancellation of 6 out of the 7 L.G.A's in the senatorial district due to violence where scores of PDP supporters and Ogoni's were murdered notably in Tai L.G.A  is another testament of Magnus Abe's Violent Political theory.

After a meeting with Stake Holders and Political Parties, INEC earmarked July 30th 2016 for a fresh Rerun Election on the Condition that their wouldn't be any form of violence in the Senatorial District.

On Seeing that he was on the verge of a heavy defeat, after losing popularity due to his Politics of Violence, Magnus Abe once again mobilized his boys to burn down the INEC office in Bori, Khana L.G.A in the early hours of July 22nd, 2016. This act then led to the postponement of the Elections.

In between all this, several PDP leaders have been murdered in Eleme, Tai and Gokana L.G.A's by machineries of Magnus Abe who has sworn that the ambition is worth the lives of innocent Ogoni sons and daughters.

With October 2016 being muted by INEC as a possible period for the Rerun Election, Magnus Abe struck again on October 3rd 2016 by sacrificing his own loyalist Boris Neenwi to blame the ruling PDP and attract sympathy votes to win the election, a reminisce of the king who murdered his first born in the war against Israel and won the war (2 kings 2:37).

As months go bye, almost turning into a year, and with over 2 million Ogoni's not having a single representative at both the House of Assembly, House or Reps and the Senate due to the desperate and violent nature of a man who claims to be an Ogoni Son. The Ogoni's and the entire people of the Rivers South East Senatorial district can now see the man Magnus Abe is and how Anti-Ogoni his Political theory connotes.

Personalities like Magnus Abe with his skewed and selfish Political theory has no business being in Politics and hence should be rejected vehemently.w
