Yoruba Youths Seek Tinubu’s Intervention In Rivers Crisis

The Progressive Yoruba Youth Congress (PYYC) has urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the political crisis rocking Rivers State.

Its coordinator, Prince Akintunde Adedeji, who made the appeal at a press conference yesterday in Lagos, faulted the role being played in the crisis by the former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike

He also alleged that the silence of the president over the lingering crisis may mislead many people to assume he’s in support of Wike’s action.

The group said, “We, therefore, appeal to President Tinubu to note and act on the things we know he must do to save Nigeria

“The president should openly denounce the assault on democracy in Rivers State and direct that all government institutions act according to the law.

The group also called on the 27 Rivers lawmakers who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to retrace their steps.
