There is tension in Apara Kingdom, Obio/Akpor LGA in Rivers state over the removal of the town's paramount ruler, Eze Gift Eziwho Johnson, by the Nyesom Wike administration.
Johnson got his certificate recognition and staff of office on May 27, last year, from the Rotimi Amaechi administration. Residents of the area didn't take the decision well and there are fears things could degenerate into violence.
An ex Chief of Staff at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Chief Tony Okocha, said he was shocked by Wike's action.
According to him, the governor and his “cohorts” were inviting anarchy in the peaceful kingdom. He said he hoped the situation would not be allowed to degenerate into civil disobedience.
The President-General of Ekinigbo Youth Council, Dele Jnr. Egeonu, said he and other members of the council were pleading with other youths to avoid violence.
Governor Wike however justified his action, saying it was aimed at bringing peace to the area.
