OMEHIA OPENS UP ON RIVERS, SAYS MBU’S REMOVAL’LL CAUSE CRISIS

Former Rivers State governor, Celestine Omehia, yesterday, opened up on the political crisis in the state, saying the removal of the state’s former Commissioner of Police, Mbu Joseph Mbu, will cause crisis in the state.
Governor Omehia, who spoke with Daily Sun in Abuja, commended Mbu for his professionalism while he held sway as Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, saying, “Mbu is the best commissioner in Nigeria, the best commissioner Rivers State ever had.
“I think the removal of Mbu from Rivers State will cause crisis in the state. Mbu is the best commissioner in Nigeria. He is the best commissioner Rivers State ever had. He is the best commissioner who has shown maturity, who has shown professionalism, who has shown independence in decision taking.
“He is one person, who could not be controlled by the government. He is one person, who has shown that he could decipher reports and go for the truth.
“Before now, many people couldn’t go to Rivers State until Mbu was posted. And there was peace.
“I can now see why there has been clamour for state police. If any governor has the hold of state police, political enemies would go to jail 24 hours everyday. Some governors could truncate democracy through state police because, he who pays the piper, calls the tune,” Omehia said.
