Rivers Crisis: Secondus Reacts To Tinubu’s Intervention

Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uchechi Secondus, has called on President Bola Tinubu to act as a true statesman in his involvement in the political crisis in Rivers State.

In a Christmas message on Sunday signed by his media aide, Ike Adonyi, Secondus emphasized that Tinubu’s intervention must adhere to the principles of the constitution.

“There are creative ways a political conflict can be resolved if and when the President acts like a statesman and the President of all Nigerians.

“He insisted that Mr President would have violated this sacred role if he acted in such a way and manner that gave an unconstitutional advantage to his political party, the APC, and an individual political godfather. This is the scenario the unenforceable agreement reached at the instance of Mr President purports to foster!”
