The statement emphasized the need for the people of Rivers State to have elected representatives rather than a Sole Administrator. Okonkwo highlighted the importance of adhering to the law and organizing local government elections.
The dispute revolves around the power dynamics and legalities surrounding the state of emergency and the reinstatement of officials in Rivers State.
