A former Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olabode George, on Friday, urged elders and stakeholders of the party to intervene in the political crisis rocking Rivers State, warning that it may become a national conflagration.
He also warned President Bola Tinubu not to treat with levity the threat by some lawmakers in the state House of Assembly to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara, insisting that the state belongs to PDP.
“We should remember ‘Operation Wetie’ which started in the defunct Western Region and eventually consumed the nation and ended the First Republic in 1966. “All the actors in this crisis in Rivers should avoid actions likely to cause breach of peace and breakdown of law and order in our country. “Members of the Board of Trustees of our party should be the elders in the room, act swiftly and nip this crisis in the bud before it consumes everybody.“Whether we are members of PDP, APC or other parties, we should stop issuing provocative statements to increase the tension in Rivers.Related News
