TRUE TO HIS PROMISE, AMAECHI STORMS OGONI LAND FOR SRMs RALLY. Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has made good his words to personally attend today’s rally in Ogoniland despite fears of a breakdown of law and order and advice against doing so. “We are off to Bori for the rally and His Excellency is going with us,” a source close to Governor Amaechi told News Express minutes ago. The Concerned Ogoni Elders’ Forum had yesterday appealed to Amaechi not to attend the rally following the violent disruption of the earlier one planned for last Sunday by suspected ex-militants. Angered by the disruption of the rally, Amaechi had vowed to lead the rally rescheduled for today and dared the police to shoot him. His words: “I will be there next Saturday. I am going there for a rally on Saturday and I invite Channels. First, we will try as much as possible to replace the things that are missing and stolen. On Saturday I will be there. “When they say former President Obasanjo is lying about snipers and one thousand names, they said Nigeria Police has no rubber bullets. Where did rubber bullets come from? Is it one of the snipers that shot at Magnus Abe? Could it be that they were aiming it at me? But for the first time, I will want to expose myself, I will be there. I will be there on Saturday. Let them come and shoot.”
