* Warns Adeleke of similar fate befalling Osun
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has, predictably, applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision and action on the political crisis rocking Rivers state.
The National Secretary of the party, Senator Ajibola Bashiru, said the President’s action would help restore law and order in the State.
Bashiru noted Rivers was already becoming a failed State with negative consequences on residents.
The APC scribe said: “It is a welcome positive decision from President Bola Tinubu to restore law and order to Rivers State which was already becoming a failed state with negative consequences in the citizens of the State.
“It is disheartening that both the executive and legislative arms of Rivers state have abdicated their constitutional responsibilities of securing welfare and security of the people of Rivers state in the quest for fight to finish political brigandage.”
The party advised the Osun Governor, Ademola Adeleke to handle the reinstatement of local government officials by the court or face similar measures meted out to Rivers State.
Counselling Adeleke, the ruling party said: “It is hoped that Osun Governor take a cue from this development and allow the court reinstated local government councils to operate as otherwise state of emergency may also be apposite”
