PDP Chieftain Urges Peace In Rivers

A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Mr. Vincent Wali has called on all the actors in the political crisis rocking the State to sheath their sword and allow peace to prevail.
Wali made the call while speaking with journalists in Port Harcourt, shortly after an event organised by the Christian Association of Nigeria, youth wing, Rivers State chapter, (YOWCAN), Wednesday.
He said the appeal has become imperative as the political crisis has taken its toll on economic activities in the state.
According to him, no meaningful development can be achieved in an atmosphere devoid of peace and harmony and urged them to employ dialogue to resolve their differences in the overall interest of the state.
The former State house of Assembly aspirant for Obio/Akpor Constituency 11, averred that the political crisis if not checked is capable of derailing governance in the state and called on the actors in the crisis to embrace peace.
He condemned the recent fracas at the Rivers State House of Assembly describing it as a shame to democracy, adding that posterity would judge the lawmakers should they fail on the mandate given to them by Rivers people.
Wali commended governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi for exhibiting maturity in dealing with the crisis rocking the state, and urged him not to be deterred in his effort to transform the state.
He urged Rivers youths to resist any attempt to be used by politicians to cause mayhem in the state.
Wali called on the Obio/Akpor people to unite and fashion out ways of developing the area rather than engage in “unnecessary political war”.
He posited that change is constant in life and urged the people to always embrace change when ever it comes for the betterment of the area.
