  • Gov Amaechi Dares CP To Shoot Him
  • Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi,
    has dared the State Commissioner of Police,
    Mr. Joseph Mbu, to shoot him whenever he
    embarks on a demonstration against him
    (CP) and the Federal Government.
    Mbu apparently placed a ban on any form of
    demonstration, procession or rally by any person
    or group of persons in the state and warned
    anybody not to dare him on the directive.
    But speaking on Tuesday when leaders and
    people of Urashi Kingdom paid him a solidarity
    visit at the Government House in Port Harcourt,
    Amaechi vowed that he would be at the forefront
    of the protest that would come up soon.
    The governor said he had told traditional leaders
    in the state to get ready for the demonstration
    against Mbu over the police commissioner's
    position on rallies and demonstrations.
    Amaechi, who decried Mbu's attempt to stop the
    people of Urashi from paying a solidarity visit to
    him, said it was wrong for the police to have
    harassed his supporters.
    He said Rivers was now a police state following
    the police attempt to stop people's movement by
    blocking the entire Orashi region.
    He said, "Another thing I will tell you is that we
    are looking for a date we will demonstrate against
    what the Federal Government and what the
    Commissioner of Police are doing in Rivers State.
    "We have told our chiefs to get ready. Once we
    get a date, once we get people from overseas;
    they are Nigerians; they will join us and we will
    give you the date.
    "I have told the CP (Mbu) to be ready to shoot
    me, I will be in front. I will not seat here and wait
    for you to match here and give me letter. Instead,
    I will keep SSG here and then I will match down
    with you people.
    "Then I will give the SSG letter to give to the FG
    so that if they want to shoot, they can shoot me
    because we have a right to express our views.
    You have the right to criticise me. I am not
    particularly a good man. There is nobody that is a
    perfect man in the world. Is there any?"
    He, however, commended the people of Urashi
    Kingdom for braving the odds to get to Port
    Harcourt in spite of the attempt by the police to
    stop them.
    Insisting that every Nigerian had the right to
    express his or her views, Amaechi argued that the
    state police commissioner did not have the
    powers to ban demonstration since it (protest)
    was part of the people's fundamental human
    rights.
    He said, "You people are by far stronger than me.
    I got a report yesterday very late at night that the
    police had planned to stop you people. I was
    thinking that once you see policemen, everybody
    will run into his house.
    "But you must learn how to use these things. You
    should have recorded them so that you can show
    to the world how much a tyrant our commissioner
    of police is."
