Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation, has lamented that Rivers State is now"almost always in the news for the wrong reasons".
He also urged Rivers people and other Nigerians to have hope and a renewed commitment to wait till the resurrection morning. He urged people of the state to imbibe the lessons that the Easter season brings, such as the transformation of Christ from betrayal, torture and death to a glorious triumph on the Resurrection Morning.
”For us as Rivers people, this is a moment for sober reflection and forgiveness. I will not hesitate to implore that we all ask God for forgiveness and mercy for all the things done or left undone and from the citizens for the pain and anguish that they have brazenly suffered which most times are unreported. The persistence of gang violence, kidnappings and killings in parts of the state has dealt a telling blow on the psyche of the people.
