JUST IN: APC Calls for State of Emergency in Rivers State
The All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership in Rivers State has urgently called on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the state. This appeal was made by the APC’s Caretaker Committee Chairman, Chief Tony Okocha, during a media briefing in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
“Rivers State is at war. The individuals responsible for the violence that has claimed numerous lives are known,” Okocha stated. “The Governor is helpless, and the police are helpless. Therefore, the APC in Rivers State is calling for a state of emergency as a way of curbing the ongoing chaos. I urge the federal government to act swiftly.”
The Federal Government has the authority to declare a state of emergency in situations such as natural disasters, civil unrest, armed conflict, medical pandemics, epidemics, or other biosecurity risks.
