“Yes, the crisis will make them understand themselves better and grow stronger politically and chart a positive course to developing the state and the region at large.”
It added that, “We condemn the destruction of any public property situated anywhere in the state and the recent burning of the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex RSHA by whoever the politicians hired to perpetuate this dastardly act.
“The complex and every other public property is built by tax payers and they do not belong to the individuals they are fighting for or against.
“To rebuild the complex, it will take huge sums of money from the tax payers’ money which could have been channeled to other areas of development in the state. Let the tenets of separation of power be respected by all, because that is the spirit of democracy.
“We urge Rivers youths to shun violence and desist from being used by politician to foment troubles but chart a positive course to enhance peace and unity in the State.
