He noted that it is the responsibility of the state’s electoral body to organize the poll, allowing citizens to select their grassroots leaders.

“Those who oppose the election are not interested in the welfare of Rivers people,” Omehia added.

He further expressed the group’s commitment to strengthening democratic principles, promoting unity, and ensuring the state’s continued peace, unity, and development, which would be a source of pride for past leaders.
