Former Senator Magnus Abe has emphasized the need for peace in Rivers State amidst internal crisis within the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
He suggested that the responsibility lay with the party to seek solutions to the conflicts that had resulted in the loss of several party members. His advice to the party was to work towards resolving those internal issues and to welcome new members with open arms as they could strengthen the party.
Senator Abe called for unity and peaceful coexistence in Rivers State for the betterment of all citizens, suggesting that prayers and advocacy for peace were essential.
In an interview with Nigerian Tribune, He said, "Let me also say this. I see what is happening in the state is more of an internal crisis between the PDP and has already led to a loss of several members of the party. And I think that it is more of the responsibility of the party to try to look for that solution than anybody else. For me and for us as members of the APC, once anybody comes to the party, it should be our place to reach out to them with open arms because they would only make the party stronger. So, for the sake of Rivers State, we must all pray and advocate for peace."
