President jonathan you are the cause of. All these crisis Rivers PDP Crises Regrettable- Jonathan President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed concern over the recent political developments in Rivers State and called on all those involved in the crises to show greater respect for the constitution and the rule of law. In a statement by presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati, President Jonathan said the political developments in the state is untoward and regrettable. He urged members of the State House of Assembly and all other political gladiators in the state to put the interests of the state and the nation above their personal egos and ambitions which he said seems to have gotten in the way of their expected commitment to uphold the principles of democracy and good governance. The President called on all those who were remotely or directly involved in heightening political tension in the State to put an immediate end to their actions which are capable of plunging Rivers State into public disorder and strive to settle their political differences without further recourse to barbaric acts of violence. He said he expected all members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, irrespective of their current affiliations or loyalties, to comport themselves with greater restraint while efforts continue to resolve existing differences and restore internal harmony to the state branch of the party. The Presidency denied alleged involvement of the President in the crises, stating that there is “absolutely no factual basis for suggestions that some of the politicians involved in the current dispute are acting at the behest of the President.” “President Jonathan certainly did not instigate the crisis in the Rivers State House of Assembly and as President of the nation, he will never support any actions that negate his avowed commitment to the rule of law. The President will also never violate his oath of office to always defend the Nigerian Constitution.” -The Nation
