Former Rivers South-East lawmaker, Senator Magnus Abe, has expressed deep appreciation to President Bola Tinubu following his appointment as Chairman of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission. “Today the President is doing things differently and the numbers are beginning to show that Nigeria is on the right course,” Abe said. Thank you Mr President. He said, “Let me also thank the ‘001 of the Tinubu political family in Rivers State’, the FCT Minister, the man who did what no other politician has ever been able to achieve — he delivered Rivers state to Tinubu and the APC in the most difficult election in the history of Nigerian politics. “To all my friends and well-wishers across the land, just praise God, ignore the naysayers, pay your tax, and support the reform agenda.
