Introduction
Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a leader in Nigeria’s All Progressives Congress, has asked why President Bola Tinubu didn’t mention Nyesom Wike, the minister in charge of the Federal Capital Territory, when talking about problems in Rivers State.
What Happened?
After local elections, there were issues in some parts of Rivers State. President Tinubu told the police to stop the damage happening at local government offices. He also said that any election disagreements should be handled by the courts.
Eze’s Concerns
Although Tinubu acted on the crisis, Eze was disappointed that the President’s message didn’t mention Wike. He believes Wike and his supporters are causing problems in Rivers State but were not named, which he finds upsetting.
Security and Police Actions
Reports of bad events happening in the state were made public. Eze said security officials should catch the people responsible. He was also worried that the police did not seem to be doing enough, especially after offices were burned soon after they stopped guarding them.
Eze’s Advice for Wike
Eze advised Wike to act peacefully, like other leaders such as Vice President Kashim Shettima and former President Goodluck Jonathan. Eze emphasized that Wike should not cause trouble because of this anger over local elections.
Conclusion
For a peaceful Rivers State, Eze hopes the security forces will act and ensure those responsible are found. This way, they can help keep the state safe and secure for everyone.
