A Methodist Bishop, Dr Sunday Onuoha, has said the crisis rocking Rivers State will metamorphose into a national crisis if nothing is done urgently.
Bishop Onuoha, who spoke on the rift between Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State and his godfather, the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, called on men and women of conscience from across the country to rise and defend the country’s democracy.
He called on elder statesmen in the country to call a spade a spade by cautioning those fueling the political instability in Rivers State, maintaining that if not checked, something terrible might happen.
Recall that Fubara held the local government election in Rivers State without the presence of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
Under Fubara, the Action People’s Party (APP) won 22 local government areas, with the Action Alliance taking the last seat.
Before the election, Wike and Fubara clashed over control of the state’s political system.
