The governors met with the Rivers State
Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
Four Northern governors that visited Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State have
threatened to stop assisting in the funding of the Nigeria
Police Force.
The governors, members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, after their meeting with Mr.
Amaechi, also reiterated their demand for state police.
Governors Sule Lamido of Jigawa, Murtala Nyako
of Adamawa, Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano, and Babangida Aliyu of Niger visited
Rivers on Tuesday to express solidarity with Mr. Amaechi. The governors’ convoy
was pelted by stones, water sachets and other substances by some anti-Amaechi
protesters.
The governors’ visit follows the violence in
Rivers last week between supporters and opponents of Mr. Amaechi in the state
House of Assembly. The Rivers police commissioner was accused of siding with
the anti-Amaechi forces that are loyal to the presidency.
