APC Planning To Cause Unrest In Rivers, RSG Raises Alarm

The Rivers State Government has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state of planning to orchestrate unrest and disrupt peace in the State under the guise of protesting the Executive Orders 21 & 22 duly issued by the State Government, recently.
The Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Chris Finebone, raised the alarm in a statement made available to The Tide, yesterday.
Fienbone said that it would be wrong for anyone or group of persons to resort to carrying out actions that may endanger or compromise public peace either knowingly or by omission.
He challenged APC to seek redress in court if it was not comfortable with the Executive Orders 21 & 22 issued by the state government.
According to him, APC, and indeed, anyone or group has a right to approach the court for proper interpretation of all matters that border on the law instead of resorting to violence.
He, therefore, warned the APC and any other group not to embark on any action that may cause disruption of the peace the people and residents of the state enjoy, “more so, at this time that many dignitaries are being received in the State to commission projects undertaken by the government”.
“It is important to remind the APC and all groups that government will respond adequately to anyone or group hell-bent on disturbing the prevalent peace in the State under any guise whatsoever. No one should take the lenient and accommodating disposition of the Wike administration to mean weakness or lack of political will. Far from it!”, the statement warned.
