The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State called on the federal government on Wednesday to declare a state of emergency in the state, saying there is a full-blown war there.
Chief Tony Okocha, the chairman of the APC Caretaker Committee, made the announcement on Wednesday during a media briefing in Port Harcourt.
He stated, “Rivers State is at war. And the dramatis personae who are responsible for the mayhem that has claimed lives are known.
“The governor is helpless, and the police are helpless. Therefore, the APC in Rivers State is calling for a state of emergency in Rivers State as a way of taming the mayhem and the upsurge that is going on in the state.
“I call on the federal government to act fast in this regard.”
