Comrade Nziidee who is the current President, Coalition for Democracy and fair election International USA, noted that,”After assessing the body politics of Rivers State over the years considering the quantum of contributions and supreme prices the Ogonis have paid towards the liberation of Rivers people ,the emancipation of the Nigerdelta region and the sustenance of democracy in Nigerians, called on the Ikwerres, Kalabaris, Ekpeyes, Ndonis, Andonis, Opobos etc to support the Governorship of the SDP Candidate, an Ogoni son, Senator Magnus Abe.

In his words,” Iam calling on our loving brothers and neighbours in Rivers State to support Senator Magnus Abe towards the materialization of the Ogoni objective, noting that in the past the Ogonis had thrown their weight fully behind the leadership of the state presented by any of her neighbours, and believed that it was logical for their neighbours to reciprocate such gestures by fully and politically supporting Senator Magnus Abe to serve Rivers people”.

Nziidee also condemned in totality the language used by an Ogoni son,that Ogoni is unripe to be the governor of the state,adding that such language is an insult to the entire Ogoni race.
