I want to assure you this is a political issue. This is a political disagreement, and so you must see it in that light.
“Yes, it does have legal implications and constitutional implications, but I want to assure you that it will be handled in the way and manner that Nigerians will be happy for it and Rivers State will be able to move forward from where we are Today,” he said.
