The recent going on's in River State,with reports of Governor Amaechi being shot at and the State Police denying that,saying it was orchestrated by the Governor himself,shows how messed up Nigerian politics is!
Anywhere in the world,something like this would have taken at the very minimum 24 hours to clear up..in less than that time,the Rivers State Government has had an
investigation and sure enough to announce that it was a set up by Gov.Amaechi himself?
investigation and sure enough to announce that it was a set up by Gov.Amaechi himself?
When did Nigerian Police force become so diligent and effective in their work to work at that record time?
Amaechi might have very well done this,i don't know.But how stupid will he and his crew be to fire shots indiscriminately in the air when the Police were monitoring the situation?Just doesn't make sense to me at all.We truly are a messed up society,well maybe not us as a people,but those we have ruling over us.Here's how the Police reacted to Amaechi's proclaimed gunshot attack below..
The Rivers state Police command has released a statement regarding the alleged attack on Governor Rotimi Amaechi's convoy in Port Harcourt yesterday March 26. In the statement, the police said contrary to what was said by the Amaechi's Chief Press secretary, David Iyofor that political thugs loyal to the PDP attacked the governor's convoy, it was Governor Amaechi himself who orchestrated the gunshots fired at his convoy to gain public sympathy. Read the statement below...
"The police wishes to react to the news that went viral on both normal and social media quoting David Iyofor, chief press secretary to Rivers state governor, to the effect that gunshots were fired at the convoy of his principal at Rumuolumeni, Obio/Akpor local government. To put the records straight, after a successful and peaceful rally under the close watch of policemen led by the divisional police officer of the area, shots were indiscriminately fired from the convoy of the governor for reasons best known to them, as against the wispy claim of David Iyofor. No shots were fired at the convoy of the governor. The false alarm, which is the usual penchant of the state government, may not be unconnected with the bogus claim of assassination attempt by his principal that is to just whip up public sympathy. The command urges politicians to refrain from whipping sentiments by toying with security issues to create needless public panic, where there is none, please.” the statement read
