Declare state of emergency in Rivers, APC tells FG

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State on Wednesday called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the state, saying there is a full-blown war there.

The APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, Chief Tony Okocha, made the call during a media briefing in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

He stated, โ€œRivers State is at war. And the dramatis personae who are responsible for the mayhem that has claimed lives are known.

โ€œThe governor is helpless, the police bias helpless. Therefore the APC in Rivers State is calling for a state of emergency in Rivers State as a way of taming the mayhem, and the upsurge that is going on in the state.

โ€œI call on the federal government to act fast in this regard.โ€
