H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-I-C-A-L PRESIDENCY! #No Crisis In Rivers –Presidency# As Nigerians express concern over the scary situation in Rivers State, the FG has dismissed media reports of the recent political turbulence in the state as “deliberate over-sensationalization of the situation.” DOYIN OKUPE: He claimed that the crisis in the state was imaginary. His remarks: “We are compelled to react to the unfolding political drama emanating from recent activities of some governors from the northern part concerning political developments in Rivers State. These political moves, which are clearly intended to create fear, despair and sense of apprehension among the citizenry are grossly unfounded, misplaced and a deliberate over-sensationalization of the situation. “We therefore wish to state as follows: Insinuations and statements suggesting that Rivers State is on fire are grossly unfounded. So far, as it is evident to every discerning observer of political developments, the state is calm and peaceful. Residents of the state continue to go about their various businesses, religious, social and political activities under peaceful atmosphere,” he said.
