Former Social Democratic Party, SDP, governorship candidate in Rivers State, Magnus Abe, has said that the people of the state are now united and no longer wish to see division.
Abe made this statement on Wednesday while responding to questions in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
The former lawmaker was reacting to the conferment of national honours by President Bola Tinubu on four illustrious sons of Ogoniland in the state.
“We are all together now. We don’t want to have that division anymore. With the steps the President has taken, we believe the ground is finally set for the takeoff of a new Ogoni.
“Our effort and prayer is, to bring Ogoni together and to enable us begin to reap the fruits of what God has put in our land for the benefits of our people which before now has only brought suffering, misery, pollution and deaths,” he said.
