Former Rivers State Senator Magnus Abe has launched a strong critique against what he describes as the concentrated control of state resources by a small group of individuals.
Speaking on TVC TV interview FROM 9:34, Abe carefully chose his words to express his disapproval of the current state of affairs in Rivers: “The first thing I will say, sir, is this: it is—I don’t want to use the word ‘an insult’ to Rivers people, but it is disrespectful of Rivers people for three people to carry a big stick around and be appropriating the resources of our state,” he declared.
The former lawmaker concluded his statement with a firm stance: “It is wrong, and I want to make that clear.”
This public criticism comes amid ongoing discussions about resource control and governance in Rivers State, with political observers noting that Abe’s comments point to deeper concerns about power concentration and resource allocation in the state.
The statement has attracted significant attention from political analysts, who suggest it highlights growing tension over the management and distribution of Rivers State’s substantial resources. While Abe did not name the three individuals he referenced, his comments have sparked renewed debate about transparency and inclusive governance in the state.
The former senator’s remarks add to the ongoing discourse about political power dynamics and resource control in Rivers State, particularly regarding the need for more equitable distribution of state resources and inclusive decision-making processes.
