Senator Magnus Abe (Rivers Southeast) described yesterday\u2019s visit to President Goodluck Jonathan by Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Part (PDP), Chief Felix Obuah and his delegation, as one-sided.<\/p>\n

He said the current leaders of the PDP in Rivers state, including himself, were not invited.<\/p>\n

Abe, a former Secretary to the Rivers State Government (SSG), in a telephone interview last night, declared that the visit would not bring peace and reconciliation.<\/p>\n

The senator said: \u201cThe visit to President Jonathan in Abuja by Felix Obuah and his co-travellers will not help the PDP in Rivers state. It will not being peace and reconciliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Jonathan is the Chairman of the PDP reconciliation committee. Reconciliation cannot be one sided. I am a leader of the PDP in Rivers state and I was not invited. Current leaders of the PDP in Rivers state were not invited for the visit to the President. Their actions will not help PDP in Rivers state.<\/p>\n

\u201cPDP leaders ought to be very careful. The people who visited President Jonathan in Abuja are very desperate. The want to divide the PDP. They want to drive people out of the party. I am surprised that the President could receive Obuah and others who want to destabilise PDP and cause confusion in Rivers state.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersons who visited the President in Abuja were chieftains of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), not PDP leaders. They brandished ACN in the last elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe visit should be condemned by all leaders of the PDP all over Nigeria and lovers of democracy and good governance worldwide, who are clamouring for peace amd reconciliation. What Obuah and his supporters are doing will not help the party in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abe, who is a former Rivers State Commissioner for Information, urged the peace-loving people of the state to remain calm and law-abiding, while continuing to support Governor Rotimi Amaechi.<\/p>\n
