Okey Bakassi recent criticised the political situation in Rivers State, saying: “Politicians are now behaving like they are gods. All of them are now behaving like they are untouchable.

“If you speak [against them], they will arrest you. This is how they will continue in this recklessness until the military decides to take over the government.

“That time, they will ask civilians to protest and defend democracy. But now, they don’t want civilians [to say] anything about democracy.”
