The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart, Bode George, has warned that extending the state of emergency in Rivers State beyond September 18 would trigger a crisis among the people of the state. Former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, South, issued the warning while speaking on “Frontline”, a political programme on Eagle 102.5 FM, Ilese Ijebu.
Asked on the possibility of President Bola Tinubu extending the emergency rule after September 18, George said, “Never, never! It will be a case of yanga dey sleep, wahala go wake am. The people will not accept because you are shortchanging them. They had an election, and someone was elected. That young Administrator should leave and go home. We are pleading because there would be a day after governance. How will you want to be remembered? This thing is not personal.”
