EX-GOV GEORGE SUES FOR PEACE OVER CRISIS IN RIVERS STATE
Chief Rufus Ada George, a former governor of Rivers State, has urged lawmakers to embrace peace and stop making divisive remarks for the good of the state.
The appeals were made through a statement that the elderly statesman, who led the nation during the 3rd Republic from 1992 to 1993, personally signed.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
With the demolition of the House of Assembly structure, the state’s political crisis has taken a new turn, requiring the 27 legislators to convene inside the Assembly Quarters.
