Former Rivers state Governor Rufus Ada-George and other leaders have called on politicians in the state to embrace peace and stop provocative comments in the interest of the state.

In an interview, Ada-George said he is pained and worried about the grave danger inflammatory comments portend for the peace and security of Rivers and Nigeria as a whole.

He is the oldest former Governor of Rivers State and called on all former governors and their deputies to close ranks, come together, and collectively and frankly speak to our younger colleagues in the best interest of the state.
