There
was commotion again in Rivers State as thousands of youths
believed to be loyal to the Minister of State for Education, Mr.
Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, reportedly threw stones and other objects at
the convoy of the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, at the
Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa.
Vehicles
in the convoy were conveying four northern governors – Sule Lamido
(Jigawa); Murtala Nyako (Adamawa); Babangida Aliyu (Niger);
and Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano) – who were on a solidarity
visit to Amaechi.
A
bus in which some commissioners in the state were seated in was said
to have had its windscreen smashed by the protesters.
But
the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Angela Agabe,
told The PUNCH that “there was no time the
governors’ convoy was attacked.
“Nothing
like that (attack) happened,” she said, adding that adequate
security was provided at the airport to forestall any unpleasant
development.
Culled from the PUNCH.
Am
beginning to believe everything I heard about this Amechi. And it so
sad he will want to betray
his own people. Hope am wrong.
