“The Warring party should shealth their swords, that is what they need to do. I think when fight like this is happening, everyone should know that they are their to serve the people. And services to the people is paramount. It doesn’t matter what oath you take, or what agreement you had with individuals or group. As long as those agreements are not to serve the people.it’s illegal.”

“So Governor or whoever that is wrestling with him, must know that the people of River state come first before any individual so the service and the direction of this settlements must be victorious, maximum service of the people of Rivers State.The governor of River state must ensure that the state is peaceful and infact he does what will bring service to the people.”

“The governor should be loyal to the people of river state that is what he is there to do,like I said earlier ,it doesn’t matter what oath he took or agreements he had ,so long as those agreements do not maximise serve the people of river state.”

He called on President Bola Tinubu to prevail on the Nigerian Police and other security agencies to do the right thing in Rivers State, “Mr president should tell the law enforcement agencies to follow the rules that are their responsibilities, it means that, for instance, why should a police shoot at a governor instead of giving the needed constitutional protection. Mr president must call the IG and other person responsible for the law and order and warn them that this is a new era.”

Also speaking, the Second Vice President of INC, Chief Nengi James also called on Rivers People to be calm and support the Governor, Siminalayi Fubara”The governor is not doing bad or good, he just came into power. He has started his blue print, he has started his developmental agenda and is going on. He is not in rancour with the Rivers people. We want both parties to dry their gun powder and Rivers State cannot be among those states that we have declared state of emergency.”

” We want a situation where rivers people should be living with their eyes closed. And I want to call on the security agencies that anytime there is security issue, they should maintain neutrality. The people should support to rule of law in the state. And I want to support our leader always,Governor and Senator Edwin clark. And all ijaw people will be with him and support him.”
