The Rivers State governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Senator Magnus Abe, has faulted decision of the Federal Government to shift the date for the removal of fuel subsidy. This was as he disclosed that he would withdraw the petition he filed at the election tribunal to challenge the results of the election. Abe stated these while addressing SDP faithful at his campaign office in Port Harcourt on Sunday. Abe stated, “I was at the centre of that controversy when the whole subsidy thing blew up under the Goodluck Jonathan government then. “I was, however, shocked when I read somewhere that the decision of the fuel subsidy removal has now been postponed.
