The Rivers State Government says there are plans by certain individuals to cause crisis that will lead to the declaration of a State of Emergency in the State.
Nsirim stated that the characters behind the plot were the same persons whose alleged plan, “to declare a State of Emergency in the State since 2015 has not succeeded because of God’s intervention.” “They did everything within their powers to ensure that the 2019 Governorship Election results were not announced but also failed.
“People forget history quickly. Since 2015, there have farmers/herdsmen clashes in Nasarrawa, Plateau, Taraba, Ebonyi, Cross River, Kaduna, Yobe and Bornu States. “Bandits have been killing innocent people in Sokoto, Katsina, Zamfara and Kaduna States and indigenes of these States no matter their political differences are working together to protect their States.
“Our fight against COVID-19 is to protect the lives of everyone living and doing business in the State.“No wonder one of the respected chieftains of the All Progressives Congress had to expose their plan to use COVID-19 to launch into the politics of the State.
