APC chieftain and former Rivers State governorship candidate Tonye Cole has recalled how deeply divided Rivers State once was, saying political rivalry affected even funeral services held in churches.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Cole said the state’s political atmosphere was once filled with hostility after years of violent clashes that claimed lives, spilled blood, and divided many families. 

He said the level of distrust between politicians and their supporters was so high that people from opposing parties refused to associate with one another.

To illustrate the situation, Cole recalled one of his earliest experiences after joining politics.
