Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, yesterday dared the odds, by visiting the volatile Bori in Ogoniland.
This comes a week after hoodlums disrupted his rally, shooting sporadically into the crowd. Scores were injured after the attack.
It had been reported of how thugs armed with different dangerous weapons were seen loitering around the venue of the Save Rivers Movement rally. Sounds of gunshots were heard by residents as early as 3am. Sources say the action was to scare people away from the event.
Speaking at the rally which eventually held under police protection in and around the area, Amaechi blamed the Police Commissioner, Mr. Joseph Mbu, for allowing militants take up arms against the people.
”The same people (militants) we chased away with the military are back to our state, fuelled by a man called Mbu and his cohorts in Abuja. They do not mind that your lives are important. They want to sacrifice your lives just to earn the office of presidency and the office of governorship,” Amaechi told his supporters at Saints’ Anglican Church premises.
