Rivers State Government has disagreed with President Muhammadu Buhari over his statement that the state is the deadliest in the country.
Buhari, in his statement at the National Executive Council meeting of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, said Rivers State was the deadliest state in the country. He was reacting to situations that led to suspension and inability of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to announce the results of the re-run elections in the state.
Reacting to the president’s remarks, the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Emmanuel Aguma (SAN), lampooned Buhari for saying that.
A remark about Rivers State made by President Muhammadu Buhari dominated the headlines Friday, March 25, 2016.
He said Buhari had earlier admitted the failure of his government in curtailing violence during the Kogi and Bayelsa government elections, and the Rivers re-run legislative election.
