RSG moves to restore peace in Emohua LGA

By Onozure Dania

The Chief of Staff to the Rivers State Governor, Engineer Chukwuemeka Woke,  has called on all political leaders of Emohua Local Government Area of the state to work with the Governor Nyesom Wike administration to ensure lasting peace in the area.

Speaking after a strategic peace meeting with all political and security stakeholders from Emohua LGA in Port Harcourt, Wednesday night,  Woke regretted that some  opposition politicians  were fanning the embers of violence  in the council.

He said: “I want to enjoin my brothers , who are in the opposition  political party never to encourage violence of any kind. If the council  is destroyed, where will you conduct the election you are hoping to win.

“It is important  to inform these boys that what they  are doing is wrong and that it has nothing  to  do with politics.  For me, this is a message of peace. It is about our people and their lives and property.”

He  faulted claims by opposition politicians that  the cult conflict in Emohua council was a fallout of the state amnesty programme.

He noted that  Emohua council was  not  the only place where the amnesty programme was implemented, pointing  out that other  areas are enjoying  relative peace.
