The Rivers State Civil Society Organisations has condemned recent political threats and inflammatory remarks by some politicians, warning that such statements could heighten tensions and distract from issues affecting residents.
Its Chairman, Enefa Georgewill, said Rivers State needs leaders focused on improving road networks, reducing poverty and creating economic opportunities, particularly in the oil and gas sector and emerging areas such as artificial intelligence.
Georgewill urged residents to make informed choices at the polls by considering the competence, character and capacity of candidates to deliver good governance.
He also called on politicians to put aside their differences and protect peace in the state.
