Nwauju advised stakeholders to practice the elements of democracy to deliver proper representation, which he claims is the missing link in governance in Rivers State.
The statement stressed that Nigerians must have freedom of expression, noting that participation is the foundation that makes democracy strong.
He said the right to vote and hold peaceful protests cannot and should not be difficult in the state, to avoid the pitfalls of June 12, 1993.
