...brushes off Atiku, El-Rufai as mere attention seekers
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has praised the leadership and members of the National Assembly for swiftly approving President Bola Tinubu’s constitutional declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka, stated in an official release that the 10th Assembly exhibited patriotism by prioritizing the peace and security interests of River State’s residents over partisan divides. The statement specifically commended the opposition caucus for transcending political divisions to endorse the proclamation in the spirit of national unity.
The President is dedicated to upholding peace, sustaining law and order, safeguarding vital national resources within Rivers State, and eventually reinstating constitutional order where the three branches of government—the executive, legislative, and judicial—coexist and fulfill their respective duties as outlined in the constitution, thereby promoting welfare and effective governance in Rivers State.
In response to an earlier media briefing by the Forum of Concerned Leaders and Political Stakeholders in Nigeria, headed by ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who opposed the declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers State, the APC denounced them as "wandering opposition opportunists aiming to exacerbate tensions across the nation by exploiting the circumstances in Rivers State."
These opposition figures, such as ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, and previous Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, remained inactive and took no steps to mitigate the crisis that posed an evident and immediate danger to peace, personal security, and public property within Rivers State.
Associated News Streams: The Representatives' Northern Caucus supports martial law and insists the proclamation should remain intact. Tinubu commends the National Assembly for endorsing the state of emergency in Rivers State. The National Assembly has 'worsened the wound,' according to Peter Obi regarding the situation in Rivers.Today, these self-interested individuals excelled at their usual tactic — releasing a long-winded, complex, and completely pointless statement designed to get their names into the news and stir up conflict.
We call upon the honorable citizens of Rivers State and all conscientious Nigerians to back President Tinubu’s endeavors to ensure tranquility, safeguard lives and assets, and ultimately reinstate robust constitutional rule within the state.
