My Dear Good People of Rivers State.

2. As you know our promise to construct and five flyovers to ease the perennial traffic challenges and accelerate socio-economic development of the State is well on course.

#Broadcast
3. We delivered and commissioned the first of the initial five flyovers, (the Rebisi flyover) to the glory of God and the good of our State, while construction work on the rest has reached advanced levels of completion.
4. Indeed, the Okoro-nu-do flyover is next on the line to be delivered and commissioned, latest, in the first quarter of 2021.
5. Two days ago, the State Executive Council approved the award of the contract for the constructing of the sixth flyover along the Oro-Abali (Kaduna street) intersection of Aba road to Julius Berger Nigeria Limited.

9. Furthermore, the Rivers State Government is seriously disturbed by the recent upsurge of cult activities and related violence and killings around the adjoining areas of the Okoro-nodu flyover in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.

10. We have repeatedly warned misguided youths that engaging in cultism is abhorrent anti-social behaviour in our society.
11. We shall therefore spare no efforts to deal appropriately with anyone who decides to disturb peace and security in our neighbourhoods with cult activities and associated violence and killings.

#AITInterview 1/7

Rivers state was very peaceful before IPOB suddenly killed six Soldiers and four Policemen. Destroyed all the Police stations and burnt all the courts in Oyigbo.

We all know when you kill a security operative particularly the army they
#AITInterview 2/7

wouldn't let you go.

They didn't stop there but started renaming communities in Rivers State and put up flags in some places.

IPOB went on to attack the Hausas and I called for the curfew when it was degenerating into a tribal conflict with the Hausas.
Everybody knows if there is one person the military doesn't like it is me but that the army doesn't like me doesn't mean I shouldn't speak the truth.

Nobody has criticized the Police or Army more than me but you don't go and kill them and expect me to tell you welldone.

While the Government acknowledge and appreciate the enormous contributions from non-indigenes to the political, social and economic development of the State,
#Broadcast
it will neither accept nor allow any individual or group from within and outside to violate the peace, endanger lives and property under any guise in the State.

#Broadcast
And so, let it be understood that we have nothing against all or any specific tribe and will continue to live in peace with people of all other tribal extractions residing or doing business in Rivers State.

Rivers State government has decided to pay N20 Million compensation to the families of each of the soldiers and policemen killed by members of proscribed Indigenous Peoples Organization of Biafra (IPOB) in Oyigbo last week.

#EndSARS
In addition, Rivers State Government has promised to rebuild all burnt police stations in Oyigbo and vowed to ensure that the terrorist organisation no longer exist in Rivers State.
#EndSARS
The State Government will support the Police to make sure that all IPOB members who masterminded the killing of the policemen and soldiers, as well as the wanton destruction of Police stations in Oyigbo are apprehended to face the full wrath of the law.

I call for a total reform of the entire security agencies beginning with the Nigeria Police Force.

From the beginning, we in Rivers state suffered in the hands of SARS operatives as they killed innocent people and made the State ungovernable.
They even killed a polytechnic lecturer. We cried but they reduced it to politics. The Media tagged us Rivers of Blood when we had security issues.
#EndSARS
If we are sincere in this country,  what affects one part of the country will be taken seriously by others. Unfortunately, we politicise everything.

Let us practice true federalism. You cannot support community policing and say State Police will be controlled by Governors.

The Federal Government is trivialising the demands by #EndSARS protesters by directing  State Governors to take charge of Tactical Commands of the Police.

State Governors cannot take charge of Tactical Commands because they cannot employ or discipline anyone who errs.
In Rivers State, we set up a Judicial Commission of Inquiry that indicted SARS officers. Instead of the Police authorities punishing the indicted officers, they shielded them and even promoted one to the rank of an Assistant Inspector General.
Now the  Federal Government wants us to set up another Commission of Inquiry  when the report of the last one we set up was not implemented.
