“As the father of our dear country, we call on Mr President to use his exalted office to caution the FCT Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike and his co-travellers who have declared total war on Rivers State, as seen by their daily actions against Rivers people and victimization of innocent citizens of Rivers State, both at home and beyond.”
The youths also called on the Inspector General of Police , Kayode Egbetokun, to maintain professionalism in the face of the political crises in the state and task the police operatives to remain neutral in their operations.
They also urged the police to stop the intimidation and harassment of the governor’s loyalists.
He said: “We call on the Inspector General of Police to rein in his men and exercise restraint by stopping the unnecessary attack or wanton arrest on any of the Governor’s supporters, as further harassment could lead to anarchy and breakdown of law and order that may not do our state any good.
“We further applaud the sterling leadership in the governance of Rivers State by the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, particularly commending his tireless efforts in improving the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from N12 billion to an unprecedented N27 billion within a year of his administration.
