A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode
George, has claimed that the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State could
spread across Nigeria if not resolved quickly.
George stated this while appearing on Arise Television on
Thursday.
He called on the leadership of the PDP to intervene and
resolve the crisis.
“Rivers is a very important state electoral-wise. The crisis
can spread to other parts of the country. I want to plead with all sides in the
interest of this nation. This is not the time to fight; our economic situation
is terrible. People are hungry and angry.
“Where is the leader of the PDP? What’s he doing? The party
leaders should defend and resolve this crisis,” George said.
The Rivers State Assembly has become the epicentre of the
chaos in recent days.
The crisis stems from a fallout between Governor Sim Fubara
and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal
Capital Territory.
The state assembly has split along those lines, with each
faction aligned with their respective leaders and fueled by accusations,
impeachment attempts, and defections.
