In a recent interview, Princewill discussed the political crisis in Rivers State and President Bola Tinubu’s intervention.
When asked about the ethnicization of the conflict between Rivers Governor Sim Fubara and Nyesom Wike, Princewill dismissed such notions and noted that he had been absent and not spoken to the media for nearly two years.
"Leave our son to work, just like we left other ones before him. Rivers state is the Treasure Base of the nation. Do not play with the goose that lays the golden egg. If he has erred, it is a different thing. If he has broken the law, there are ways and means to deal with that. If you don’t want him in the future, allow him finish his term. Because the silence we hear is the silence of the graveyard. Let sleeping dogs lie. We have witnessed many crisis in Rivers state and we have now become experts at it," Princewill said.
