"YOUR GOVERNMENT IS WORSE THAN ABACHA'S" AMAECHI SLAMS GEJ

Guns boomed! Smoke filled the air!! People were running and
screaming!!! Vehicles were vandalised!!!!…
That was the scene on Sunday as PDP-led militants disrupted a Save
Rivers Movement (SRM) rally in Bori, the traditional headquarters of
Ogoni and the seat of Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Secretary to the State Government (SSG) George Feyii, an Ogoni; Chief
of Staff, Government House, Chief Tony Okocha and many allies of
Governor Rotimi Amaechi were caught up in the violence. Their vehicles
were riddled with bullets while the police looked away.
The governor, alarmed at the scale of the violence, described
President Goodluck Jonathan's administration as worse than that of the
late dictator, General Sani Abacha. He said Jonathan is now desperate…
Two persons were shot dead by the rampaging militants, who started
shooting from 4:00am at the venue of the SRM rally — the All Saints'
Anglican Church, Bori, not far from the State Polytechnic, Bori-Ogoni.
The militants' attack came exactly one week after the SRM's rally
billed for the Rivers State College of Arts and Science, Port Harcourt
was disrupted by the police, with a senator from Rivers, Magnus Abe,
shot in the chest.
He is still recuperating in a London hospital. Gov. Amaechi, who is
also the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF), later in an
interview at the Government House, after inspecting the shot and
vandalised vehicles at 4:45pm, also accused the Federal Government of
desperation over the 2015 elections.
Amaechi said Jonathan wants to win the 2015 at all costs, even if people die.
The police, however, protected a group in support of President
Jonathan, Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI) who held a rally at
Degema Local Government Area in the same Rivers State. Amaechi however
said the disrupted Bori rally will hold this coming Saturday and he
promised to attend.
