Papers News reports that Diri had warned that the April 12 rally could spark unrest.
He said: “Holding such an event when political tensions are high in Rivers State could fuel unrest in Bayelsa,” Diri stated. “Any attempt to import the Rivers crisis here will be resisted. I call on security commanders, parents and traditional rulers to dissuade their wards from being used to cause trouble.”
