A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) under the auspices of partners for peace (P4P), Rivers State, has called on politicians  and political parties to close ranks and eschew all forms of violence and accruimony.
The group decried the unguided utterances, prejudices and negative use of words by political actors in Rivers State, described the act as unfortunate and uncalled for.
Speaking with journalists in Port Harcourt recently, the co-ordinator of the group, Barr. Deborah Effiong, enjoined politicians  to avoid all forms of violence and conflicts by resulting to dialogue and negotiation.
Effiong advised politicians always embrace things that would promote national peace and security for the society to grow, adding that their actions should advance tolerance, good governance and unity. Insisting that peace is not only possible but achievable, Effiong called on the government to seek and incorporate into the domestic law relevant international conventions and recommendations that promote peace building.
According to her sustainable peace in  Rivers State will entail respect for the rule of law, inclusive governance, provision of basic services and infrastructural development.
