The former governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, has clarified that President Bola Tinubu’s involvement in resolving the political crisis in Rivers should not be viewed as a threat to democracy.
Speaking on Sunday during an Eid-el-Fitr celebration at his residence in Ibadan, Ladoja emphasized that the President’s timely intervention had played a crucial role in restoring a sense of peace in the state.
He further expressed that the temporary action taken by Tinubu had been instrumental in stabilizing the situation.
The former governor urged elders and major actors in the current political unrest in Rivers to come to roundtable for amicable resolution of the issues if they had genuine intention to serve people I of the state.
He advised Rivers indigenes and other stakeholders to maintain calmness, while awaiting judgement of the pending case filed by People Democratic Party (PDP) governors.
