Yekini Nabena, a former APC deputy national publicity secretary, has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against picking a side in the political unrest in the states of Rivers and Ondo.
Regarding political happenings in the states of Ondo and Rivers, Nabena stated in a statement released on Wednesday that the President and the ruling All Progressives Conference (APC) must uphold the Constitution.
As the nation’s father, he admonished the President not to meddle in Ondo politics.
“President Bola Tinubu must not play politics with the two states,” Nabena declared. He has to prove that he is a democratic leader rather than an autocrat.
“President Tinubu should not play politics with the states of River and Ondo, as he upholds the principles of equality of rights and political or social equality for all people.”
“River states like Ondo and Rivers must now recognize and uphold our nation’s Constitution.”
Given that our party’s National Working Committee lacks the authority to dissolve an elected chairman and his executive in Rivers, the All Progressives Congress (APC) should likewise carefully review the party Constitution.
As democratic party, the APC, we ought to exercise caution in all we do. In the near future, our party may be in danger due to the consequences of this conduct in River State if the proper thing is not done immediately. If not, lawsuits here and there will recur and 2019 will become the same.
