Reacting, Tacha, who made headlines for defending Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, lamented the endless political turmoil that stifled progress in her childhood home state.
According to the reality star, there was no major development reported in the state over two years.
"This is why I don’t drag Lagos. Lagos has issues, yes, but at least it’s moving," Tacha said.
She also prayed the residents of Rivers would one day come together to fix the state.
"I genuinely feel sad for Rivers state. Fact is, I grew up there, I love that place deeply. But every time Rivers is in the news, it’s one political fight or the other. No progress stories. No excitement. Just live chaos. And for the past two years, not one solid development headline. You start to wonder how businesses and investments are even surviving. This is why I don’t drag Lagos. Lagos has issues, yes, but at least it’s moving. When I look at R/S, I just ask: when will this state be allowed to breathe? When will the people breathe? With what’s happening now, it’s clear the next few years are already being wasted till the next elections. It’s a shame. I pray one day the people of Rivers get tired, come together, and truly fix the state," she wrote.
