Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has claimed that the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State could spread across Nigeria if not resolved quickly.<\/p>\n

George stated this while appearing on Arise Television on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He called on the leadership of the PDP to intervene and resolve the crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cRivers is a very important state electoral-wise. The crisis can spread to other parts of the country. I want to plead with all sides in the interest of this nation. This is not the time to fight; our economic situation is terrible. People are hungry and angry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is the leader of the PDP? What\u2019s he doing? The party leaders should defend and resolve this crisis,\u201d George said.<\/p>\n

The Rivers State Assembly has become the epicentre of the chaos in recent days.<\/p>\n

The crisis stems from a fallout between Governor Sim Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n

The state assembly has split along those lines, with each faction aligned with their respective leaders and fueled by accusations, impeachment attempts, and defections.<\/p>\n
