Rivers State Lead Representative, Siminalayi Fubara, said the state is peaceful and safe regardless the recent security issue over the administration of local government areas.
He made the remark during a visit to Omuma Local Government Area where two security operatives were maimed in the political crisis.
The Lead Representative was there to inspect the progress of job done on the 14.6 km Omodu-Eberi road project.
As indicated by him, the state is not under attack as opposed to views fabricated from reports of dissents and the police takeover of council secretariats.
During the visit, the Lead Representative was embraced by energized residents and led by the Caretaker Committee Chairman, Promise Reginald.
The Lead Representative’s confirmation comes closely following a directive from the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, for the continuation of the police blockade on local government secretariats in Rivers State to forestall a breakdown of law and order.
IGP Egbetokun gave the directive while fielding inquiries from journalists in Abuja on the sideline of a conference with Commissioners of Police and other senior officers.
He said the police will keep on possessing the secretariats until a court of equipped purview conveys judgment on the local government crisis in Rivers State.
