Rivers Security: NNPP Accuses FG Of Insensitivity

The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) , Rivers State Chapter, has accused the APC-led Federal Government of being insensitive to security situation in Rivers State.
The Chairman of the party in the state, Hon Enyi Princewill made the allegation last Monday in Port Harcourt in a statement made available to The Tide.
The NNPP boss said, for frustrating the smooth take off of the Neighborhood Watch Agency, which is properly designed to check criminality in the state, it is an obvious indication that Federal Government is not interested in improved security in the state.
The statement described the Neighborhood Watch as a well formulated legal agency which if allowed to operate, would effectively reduce criminality in the state .
“ The state NNPP accuses the APC-led Federal Government, army and Abuja cum Rivers politicians of the insecurity in our state for their insensitivity in the undercurrent action over the well formulated, legal Neighborhood watch.
“ With the Neighborhood Watch, the people knows the criminals in their communities and no person would like to be intimidated in his own land because we all know our exit and entry points.
“ Governor Wike knows his state being born, bred , lived and educated here, he knows our state better. He should be granted to go ahead in the governance of the state without flaw”.
He urged ‘the powers that be’, to allow the state Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike to experiment the noble idea befor criticising it.
He noted that if OSPAC which is not a creation of the law could make a positive impact , it means that Neighborhood Watch that is fully legalised could be better guided to bring about better improvement in security.
