Rivers Civil Servants Threaten Revolt Over Budget Delay
The streets of Port Harcourt hummed with tension. Whispers of an impending storm swirled through government offices, marketplaces, and roadside stalls. The people had waited long enough.
Opu-Oyibo Lilly-West tightened her grip on the microphone, her voice slicing through the thick air of the press hall. “You play games with our livelihoods, but the time for patience is over.”
Inside the Rivers State House of Assembly, lawmakers exchanged nervous glances. The budget had become more than just numbers on a document—it was now the fuse to a ticking bomb.
The deadline was March 19. One way or another, history would be made.
Outside, thousands of civil servants stood ready. Fists clenched. Voices primed. If their demands were ignored, the streets would no longer be silent.
This wasn’t just a protest.
It was a reckoning.
