Cross River Acting Governor Peter Odey has distanced himself from the statement attributed to the Chairman of the South-South Governors’ Forum, which opposed President Bola Tinubu’s decision to suspend Rivers Governor and declare a state of emergency.
In a statement by his Press Secretary, Fred Abua Esq., the Acting Governor clarified that he was neither consulted nor asked for opinion before the statement was released
“The stance of the forum does not represent the position of the Cross River State Government, which fully supports President Tinubu’s decision, made in the interest of national security, peace, and stability,” he said.
He further emphasised: “Any responsible government must prioritise the safety of lives and property, and where necessary, decisive action must be taken for the greater good of our democracy and national unity.
“Cross River State remains committed to upholding constitutional governance and will continue working with the Federal Government to ensure peace, security, and stability nationwide.”
