By Ndukaku Ihe
Former governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, has said that the intervention of President Bola Tinubu in the political crises in Rivers State should not be seen as threat to democracy.
Ladoja said this on Sunday in Ibadan, while hosting dignitaries at his residence for Eid-el-fitr celebration.
He said the temporary intervention from the President had brought relative peace in the state.
The former governor urged elders and major actors in the current political unrest in Rivers to come to a roundtable for an amicable resolution of the issues if they had genuine intention to serve people of the state.
He advised Rivers indigenes and other stakeholders to maintain calmness, while awaiting a judgement on the pending case filed by the People Democratic Party (PDP) governors.
Ladoja charged Nigerians to continue with their good deeds after Ramadan.
He said that one of the essence of the Holy month was to let well meaning Nigerians to feel what indigent people had been experiencing, and learn to do good.
“Many people have been on self and compulsory fasting due to lack of food before the commencement of Ramadan.
“Apart from abstinence from sins, Ramadan is teaching us to remember and care for people that lack basic means of survival. We must embrace sacrificial lifestyle,” Ladoja said.
