He said the major problem in Rivers was poverty, “which is the reason we are having increased rate of crime and insecurity.”

 

The candidate stated that the government generate N57.3billion annually but more than 1.7 million youths are unemployed.

 

Fingesi argued that the state has over 188,590 out of school children due to poor leadership.

 

Christian also said that the party was tired of bad leadership and had decided to give the people an alternative.
