Monarch Proffers Solution To Political Instability
The paramount ruler of Rumuevu-Olu communmity, in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Eze Chris Akani, has made suggestions towards addressing the problems of political instability and insecurity plaguing the Nigeria.
The traditional ruler who stated this during an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt, on Wednesday, noted that the solution to Nigeria’s problem, “is not dismemberment or a separatist agenda, but good governance and adherence to the principles of justice and equity in, the distribution of the nations common wealth.”
The royal father attributed the growing spate of political instability and insecurity in the country to the failure of the government to live up to its statutory responsibility of protecting the lives of the citizens of the country.
He decried a situation where Nigerian universities that were once bastions of knowledge and attracted foreign patronage are now dens where kidnappers reap incautiously by using students as bargain tools to make money.
He said, “ It’s regrettable that no one has been apprehended and prosecuted by the Federal Government despite the huge resources committed to fighting insecurity, this is not a good testimony on the part of Federal Government in the delivery of its fundamental obligations to protect the lives of Nigerians, people are being slaughtered daily in different parts of the country like goats.”
Eze Akani who commended the Rivers State Governor, Barr Nyesom Wike, for the imposition of curfew in the state as part of measures to check the activities of infiltrators and other agents of destabilisation in the state, called for collective action and extra vigilance in Rumuevu- Olu community and Rivers State at large to keep Rivers State safe.
He urged traditional rulers in Rivers State to key into the security policies of the Rivers State Government and be proactive in monitoring suspicious movements in their respective domains.
