 Magnus Abe thanks Tinubu, Wike after appointment as NUPRC chair

Magnus Abe, a former senator, has thanked President Bola Tinubu and Nyesom Wike after his appointment as chairman of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).

On Monday, Tinubu asked the senate to confirm Abe and 20 others as nominees for the boards of the NUPRC and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

My love and support for President Tinubu was not just based on my expectations of reward, but on my conviction that the president will do things differently from every other leader, and Nigeria will be better, and the numbers will show that Nigeria is better,” he said.

He also thanked Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for his support during the 2023 elections.

Abe described Wike as instrumental in delivering Rivers state to Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“No one can claim to love Mr President and be ungrateful to our ‘Mr Project’; his support at a critical point meant a lot to our success and continues to be pivotal to the success of the Tinubu political family in Rivers state,” he said
