Former Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party , Chief Bode George, has raised concerns over recent political developments in Rivers State, warning that if not addressed, they could lead to a crisis with far-reaching security implications for Nigeria, West Africa, and Africa at large.
He called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene by advising the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory , Mr. Nyesom Wike, to refrain from actions that might destabilize the state. According to George, Rivers is too economically and politically important to Nigeria’s survival to be plunged into conflict.
“The political ambitions of individuals should not come at the expense of peace and development,” George said, adding that it was too early to start strategizing for the 2027 elections. He emphasized that Wike, who served as Rivers’ governor for eight years and is now a minister, should step aside and allow Governor Fubara to govern.
