Rivers State Plans to Milk the Opportunity of Buhari’s Visit

The Government of Rivers State has addressed President Muhammadu Buhari’s planned visit to the state. They said the visit would be an opportunity for the people of the state to inform Buhari of the total neglect of the state by the APC-led Federal Government since it came into power. The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Emma Okah, in a statement, said, “The impending visit is a welcome development. He’s president for all Nigerians, and not the president of a particular part of the country or political party. “The visit would afford us the opportunity of interacting with him if his programme would permit, so that we tell him the challenges we are facing and also, the contributions and efforts we are making towards building a stronger and more united nation. “We will use the opportunity to also tell him about the peculiar security challenges that Rivers State is facing and the fact that we have not received appropriate cooperation from the Police high command despite our complaints. “We will also use the opportunity to tell him what INEC is doing and the fact that INEC is working with some security agencies to frustrate the 2019 elections in favor of his party. “And we will assure him of our unalloyed commitment as we all work together in patriotism towards building a stronger and more united nation.” From Daily Post
