”State of emergency because for two years we have had peace!

State of emergency because you want to capture the economic soul of Rivers State!

State of emergency because of one man?

Shameless! Perhaps Mr. President should say he wants to annex Rivers State.”

“The Animal Farm by George Orwell should be given to every Rivers State citizen as palliative. Meantime, someone tell Mr Jones to rein in his pigs,” .
