#BBB NEWS| Amaechi Accuses Patience Jonathan Of Planning Violence During Governorship Elections

Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has accused Nigeria’s First Lady Patience Jonathan of being behind a rise in militancy in parts of the state, adding that the violence reflected designs by Mrs. Jonathan to rig the governorship election in order to control the affairs of the state.

Governor Amaechi made the allegation on Thursday while speaking to an audience at the Obi Wali International Conference Center in Port Harcourt, the state capital. He had called together some stakeholders to brief them on his administration’s plans for Saturday’s governorship and state legislative elections.

Mr. Amaechi said he had held a meeting with security operatives in the state who agreed to be fair to all during the polls, adding that there would be safety of lives and property.
