As Nigerians express concern over the scary
situation in Rivers State, the Federal Government
has dismissed media reports of the recent political
turbulence in the state as “deliberate over-
sensationalization of the situation.” Attempts by five lawmakers of the House of
Assembly to remove the Speaker were resisted and
the situation degenerated into free-for-all on the floor
of the assembly. Five northern governors had during this week met
with two former Heads of State, Generals Ibrahim
Babangida and Abdulsalam Abubakar, in Minna,
Niger State, asking them to prevail on President
Goodluck Jonathan to ensure that peace returns to
the state. But addressing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, Senior
Special Assistant, Public Affairs to the President,
Dr Doyin Okupe claimed there was no breakdown of
law and order in the state. He claimed that the crisis in the state was
imaginary. His remarks: “We are compelled to react to the
unfolding political drama emanating from recent
activities of some governors from the northern part
concerning political developments in Rivers State.
These political moves, which are clearly intended to
create fear, despair and sense of apprehension among the citizenry are grossly unfounded,
misplaced and a deliberate over-sensationalization
of the situation. “We therefore wish to state as follows: Insinuations
and statements suggesting that Rivers State is on
fire are grossly unfounded. So far, as it is evident to
every discerning observer of political developments,
the state is calm and peaceful. Residents of the
state continue to go about their various businesses, religious, social and political activities under
peaceful atmosphere,” he said. Meanwhile, the Force Headquaters in Abuja said in
Abuja yesterday that Majority Leader of the House
of Assembly, Chidi Llyod, is in its custody and
helping police investigators to unravel the
circumstances surrounding the crisis in the
Assembly. This is coming just as the Inspector-General of
Police (IGP), Mohammed Dahiru Abubakar, has
promised a quick, fair and unbiased investigation
into the matter. Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, CSP, Frank
Mba, who made this known in a statement, said that
Lloyd reported to the Force Headquarters on
Monday, at about 4pm, in company of his lawyer
and went straight to the Force Criminal Investigation
Department (FCID).
