President Goodluck Jonathan and the President of the Senate have been called upon to discountenance allegations of bias against the Senate Committee on States and Local Governments investigating the crisis in Rivers State.
Youth Action for Peace and Development in Nigeria, in a statement yesterday, said allegations that the committee was influenced in the course of its investigations in the state was not true given the fact that the group accompanied them throughout their investigation.
The statement, by the chairman of its Rivers State chapter, Georgewill Tekena, and Secretary, Ogbonda Nyekwere, said all parties in the dispute and stakeholders were given fair hearing and allowed to air their views to the satisfaction of a large population of the people in the state.
It said: “The members of the committee are tested technocrats and former executives, who were not only out to give sincere service to their fatherland but to protect their hard earned reputations. The aspersion cast on the senators with the allegation of bribe is demeaning, character assassinating and wicked.”
