The sole administrator described Port Harcourt as calm, stating that his aim is to ensure the state gets back to where it has always been.

However, he assured that he would address the media on other issues of concern later.

His words: “I want to thank you (press) for what you have been doing so far. You are all aware I just got in here and decided to meet with the Head of Service, the permanent secretaries, and the service commanders to get formal briefings.

“It is proper for me to have something to say to you all thereafter. I assure you that this evening, I will address you and the issues you may want to raise now.

“Port Harcourt is calm. All we want is for Port Harcourt to get back to where it has always been.”
