would not have imagined that the political crisis rocking that state
could last this long, especially against the backdrop that high
profile personalities have have made frantic efforts to see an
end to the imbroglio.
More worrisome is the fact that while well meaning Nigerians are
seeking an end to the crisis, the PDP in the state led by Chief Felix
Obuah is constantly maintaining a posture that darkens on-going
reconciliation efforts. The recent expulsion of 18 loyalists of
Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, including Commissioners, is a
case in point.
This development no doubt has cast a dark shadow on the efforts
of concerned Nigerians who are eager to see the return of peace
to this oil and gas-rich state.
The Inspector General of Police, Mohmamed Abubakar, is also not
helping matters. He recently swapped no fewer than 14
Commissioners of Police, but didn't move that of Rivers – even
while the National Assembly and Nigerians in general have called for
either Joseph Mbu’s transfer or removal.
The only option left to those who still feel concerned about this
unfortunate situation in Rivers State is to continue to pray for
the safety of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the embattled
Governor, as with God all things are possible.
