During the interview, the IYC members spoke with deep anger, warning that Rivers State was on the brink of serious unrest. “As we speak now, there is tension everywhere, and the message should be clear to Mr. President,” one of the IYC leaders declared. They accused Wike of fueling the political instability in the state and called for immediate measures to restore peace.
According to the IYC, the political crisis in Rivers State has created a climate of fear and uncertainty among the people. They described the situation as dangerous and urged the federal government to prevent further escalation. The group warned that continued political interference and power struggles could lead to widespread unrest, which would not only affect Rivers State but also the entire Niger Delta region.
The IYC also criticized what they described as an attempt to undermine the leadership of Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. They claimed that Wike’s influence in the state was causing division and called on the President to act swiftly. “Enough is enough. Rivers people deserve peace, and we will not sit back and watch our state descend into chaos,” an IYC spokesperson said during the interview.
In their final remarks, the IYC emphasized that Rivers State must not be used as a battleground for political battles. They urged traditional rulers, civil society groups, and other stakeholders to speak out against what they see as a dangerous political game. They maintained that only a firm intervention from the President could prevent further crisis and ensure stability in the state.
The growing unrest in Rivers State has raised concerns among residents, with many fearing the possibility of violence. As the political situation remains tense, all eyes are now on President Tinubu to see whether he will heed the call and take action to restore calm.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
