The recent violence in Rivers State, highlighted by the burning of the LGA office over election results, has sparked heated reactions. A comment urging ex-Governor Wike to “keep destroying your state” underscores a concerning trend of blaming political figures for the turmoil gripping the region. While frustration is understandable, such statements only serve to deepen divisions and escalate conflict.
Encouraging destruction, even in jest, shifts the focus away from finding constructive solutions to the issues at hand. Rivers State has immense potential for growth and development, but it requires unity and collaborative efforts from all stakeholders. Instead of fostering animosity, we must advocate for peaceful dialogue and accountability to rebuild trust in our institutions and pave the way for a brighter future for all.
