The All Progressive Congress (APC) chapter in Rivers State on Wednesday called for declaration of a state of emergency following the barrage of political crises currently tearing apart the political fabric of the state
The demand was made in Port Harcourt by the caretaker committee chairman, Tony Okocha during an interaction with journalists.
Okocha who blamed the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara for the unrest, said the state is at war, and the only way for residents to live in peace, is for the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the state.
“We are at war in Rivers state, and because the governor is unteachable APC Rivers state is calling for a state of emergency in Rivers state so that me and you can have peace in this state” he said.
He further used the opportunity to absolve the party from a comment made by former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, where he said 84 per cent of Nigerians are unhappy with President Tinubu’s administration.
The call came as Fubara mandated the auditor general of the state, to begin the audit of the accounts of the 23 Local Government Areas for the past three years.
