A Former Governor of Rivers state, Sir, Rufus Ada George has reacted to the ongoing political crisis in the state.
Rufus, in a statement in Port Harcourt, on Thursday, called on former governors of the state and their deputies to intervene in the crisis in the best interest of the state.
He said, “I am deeply pained and worried over these embarrassing events and flagrant demonstration of impunity, power, and lawlessness because of the grave danger they portend to the peace and security of Rivers state and Nigeria as a whole.”
“As the oldest former Governor of Rivers state, I call on all former Governors and their deputies to close ranks, come together, and collectively and frankly speak to our younger colleagues in the best interest of the state.
“Remember, we are duty bound to intervene in times like this by prioritising Rivers State first and above all other personal, sectional, and parochial interests.”
