RIVERS STATE ELDERS COUNCIL

RIVERS STATE ELDERS COUNCIL

The Rivers State Elders Council wish to thank and appreciate  His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President  of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,  Commander-in-Chief  of the Armed Forces, for the measures  he has put in place to return peace to our dear State.

The Council recalls that, as a  Visionary Leader and Father of the nation, Mr President  intervened earlier in the Rivers State crisis in order  to avert the inherent threats to governance and security. Unfortunately, Mr President's kind intervention was grossly misinterpreted and ridiculed.We apologise to Mr President for not seizing  that opportunity to put our house in order.

We are therefore calling on all of us, the good people of Rivers State, to prioritise the interest of the State over personal or group sentiments and give every necessary support to the Sole Administrator in his efforts to maintain peace and ensure stability in our dear State.

Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, OON, DSSRS

Chairman.
