‘Stop Further Attack On Amaechi’

As the crisis rocking
the Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deepens,  concerned youths of Ikwerre ethnic nationality have warned against further attack on the state Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
In a statement made available to The Tide at the end of its meeting in Port Harcourt, they also called on the National Assembly to put in place modalities towards the redeployment of the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu.
The statement signed by the coordinator, Comrade Elechi Ikenda, urged for a return of all the natural resources seized from the state and given to neighbouring states.
According to the statement; “President Goodluck Jonathan, the Inspector-General of Police, the Rivers State Police Command and all concerned authorities should put adequate mechanisms in place to ensure the safety of the state governor.
“That we call on Nigerians to appeal to the President to call his aides and supporters to order in order not to unnecessarily overheat the polity,” the statement added.
Speaking with newsmen later, Comrade Ikenda said that the youths are concerned about the safety of Governor Amaechi.
According to him, the youths have also noted with concern the continuous attack on Innocent people of Rivers State by security agencies especially the Nigerian Police.
“It becomes more worrisome when even the Governor himself, who happens to be the chief security officer of the state, is not exempted from the autocracy end dictatorship of the federal government,” he said.
He, however, said that Ikwerre youths would continue to remain law abiding and peaceful.
