Rivers PDP Crisis: Youths Warn Wike

Youths under the aegis
of Rivers Ethics and Conduct Group, (RECOG) have called on the former Chief of Staff, Rivers State, and the Supervising Minister of Education, Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike to engage in sincere dialogue with Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi  to resolve the raging political crisis rather than incite the youths against the state governor.
The youths who made the call  last Wednesday through the chairman, Bipelle Omoron, after the youths general meeting in Port Harcourt said Rivers people were appreciative of the developmental strides of Governor Amaechi across the state and would never be part of any group determined to stop the wheel of progress in the state.
Comrade Omoron opined that Governor Amaechi had fulfilled his 2011 electioneering campaign promises, insisting that Chief Wike should concentrate on his ministerial assignment rather than use the youths to fan embers of disunity and political crisis in the state.
Narrating how Governor Amaechi had touched the lives of the people of the state in virtually all areas of developments, especially in education, health, road construction, youths empowerment, security, economic development, power supply, among others, he said. Wike and his supporters had no reason to oppose the Governor Amaechi led administration.
Omoron recalled how Chief Wike had before his face off with the Governor, confessed that Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi was the best Governor among the past Governors that ruled the state since its creation in 1967.
He advised youths to shun attempts by those he described as unscrupulous elements to feather their political nests.
Governor Omoron also urged youths of Rivers State to jettison violence and cultism, and engaged in meaningful activities that would make them become good leaders of tomorrow.
The youth leaders further called on the Police Commissioner in Rivers State, Mbu J. Mbu to dissociate himself from acts capable of compromising security of lives and property in the state.
Reminding Mbu of the career nature of his job, he noted that government would come and go and that whatever he had done today for Nigerians including Rivers State would continue to tell on him and the generation to come.
