GENERAL NOTICE
Members of RIVCSO who chose to get involved in politics or support their ethnic or religious candidates, shouldn’t participate or address the Press in the name of the coalition.
For the avoidance of doubt, it’s the job of RIVCSO to task all aspirants and their parties to take up programs that will better the lives of Rivers people and Nigerians.
Failure to do the above, leadership will be left with no other choice than to join issues with such a person publicly and equally expel the person from the organization as guaranteed in our constitution.
