Adams Oshiomhole after a closed-door meeting in Government House, Owerri, Imo state, the governors described the development in Rivers state as an assault on the constitution and sovereignty of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are concerned about the development in the polity of Rivers state.<\/p>\n<p>What is going on in the state in our own view is an assault on the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We therefore condemn the open assault as the government being formed by the democratic system cannot be arbitrary harassed or intimidated out of office. We call on the president to stop the unwarranted harassment of the sovereignty of the nation,&#8221; they demanded.<\/p>\n<p>The governors also reviewed the progress so far made on the conclusion of the merger and expressed satisfaction that APC will give Nigerians alternative government that will address the problems facing the Nigerian nation.<\/p>\n<p>They enjoined party members to remain resolute as the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is still plotting fervently to disrupt the merger plan.<\/p>\n<p>On the solidarity to the their host, Gov. Owelle Rochas Okorocha, the APC governors declared &#8220;We\u00a0 have noted the developmental strides going on in the state under the rescue mission of Gov. Owelle Rochas Okorocha for the past two years and expressed our solidarity to the people of Imo state on the second anniversary of the Imo Freedom Day&#8221;.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressive Congress (APC) bound governors have taken a swipe on President Goodluck Jonathan over recent harassment and intimidation of their Rivers state counterpart, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi by the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
