Dagogo appealed to the feuding factions to refrain from further attacks and focus on the well-being of Rivers State’s citizens.
He also called on the newly appointed Sole Administrator to prioritize peace restoration efforts, stressing that his success in this endeavor would leave a lasting legacy.
Furthermore, he appealed to President Tinubu to maintain his active involvement in safeguarding long-term peace in Rivers State, emphasizing the importance of his paternal influence to avoid further chaos and bloodshed amidst the ongoing crisis.
He said, “This is the time for all concerned stakeholders in our dear Rivers State to join hands to reclaim the State.
“Rivers has always remained the economic hub of Nigeria, with its vast oil wealth driving the nation’s economy. It is disheartening that, rather than benefiting from its God-given strategic position, stakeholders have allowed sentiments and selfish pursuits to deprive citizens of its dividends.
“At this critical time, we must rise above camps, factions, and sentiments and forge a united front to reclaim our dear state. It is regrettable that Rivers State, with its array of award-winning political actors and administrators, has been placed under emergency rule, led by a military administrator.
“While I commend President Tinubu for his fatherly intervention, I urge the sole administrator to see his appointment as a call to unleash his expertise and experience to restore peace in the troubled state.
“This is an opportunity for him to leave a positive legacy in the history of the state after his remarkable military career.
