The political crisis rocking Rivers State,south/south Nigeria, took a turn for the worse on Wednesday, with thousands of youths under the auspices of the Rivers Peoples Assembly, a mass civil society movement,took to the streets of Port Harcourt ,the state capital demanding the resignation of Governor Chibuike Amaechi.
Security was unusualy tight around the Government House in the old GRA area of Port Harcourt as Anti-Terror Squad of the Nigeria Police with several Armoured Personnel Carriers deployed to ensure that the anti-Amaechi protesters do not cause a breach of the peace or attempt to enter the Government House.
The protesters ,most of whom are wearing T-shirts with anti-Amaechi slogans also carried banners and placards calling on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to probe all financial dealings in the state under Amaechi’s watch.

One female protester told reporters365 that she wants to know the true story behind the state’s two aircrafts the Dr. Peter Odili Administration left behind. She also wants Amaechi to clear the puzzle surrounding the registration of the state aircraft which Aviation authorities say illegal.
Meanwhile , reports reaching reporters365 indicate that Governor Amaechi’s supporters are planning a counter protest to show
that he is as unpopular as he is being made to appear.

Jonathan is just disgracing himself by these actions. Militants calling for Amaechis resignation amidst kidnap of bouganville's wife. These were things that Amaechi ended in Rivers State.

You have to understand the politics behind the protest against Amaechi. They are trying to cause chaos and discredit him because he spoke up against Jonathan's incompetence. This protest is not about him not doing well in River State. It is about him being against Jonathan. Those protesters were paid and brought there.


PDP in River State is controlled by Co-President, Patience Jonathan.

Bros, only sycophants eating with him "Love" him.

It seems the sycophants has find another lover to love-as Amaechi don't carry light anymore in their opinion. We will see how this chess game plays out in the end.

Shows how disgraceful the country is.Almost everything is for sell ,including their vote and yet they want development

Anti- Ameachi indeed......., these are bounches of miscreants dt wants to take advantage of the rifts in PDP in Rivers. This is what we have when dr is no job 4 d youths. Andd our dear Mr Probably is busy calculating 4 d yet to come 2015.

"Smart" president, great way of bullying opponent...create confusion and war in the state where the only source of the money you mismanage and steal come from.
