Umar Oyibo wrote: Amaechi Abolishes Non- Indigenes Policy In Rivers State Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has abolished the concept of non-indigenes, a policy that discriminates against Nigerians from other states, living in the state. His APC counterpart, Aliyu Wammako of Sokoto State, similarly abolished the policy in his state on 8 March Governor Amaechi announced his decision while welcoming a large crowd of non-indigenes in the State who paid him a solidarity visit at the Government House in Port Harcourt. Amaechi told his guests, all members of the Non Indigenes Political Forum (NIPF), a support group of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State: “I don’t believe in ‘non-indigenesh ip’. As far as I am concerned, you are entitled to everything if you have lived in Rivers State for at least five years. We are all Rivers indigenes. If you go anywhere around this State and they are segregating against you, please, call my attention. The reason is that we are all Nigerians and we remain bonafide citizens of this country. The All Progressives Congress (APC) believes that there is need for change because the government in power does not want money to reach you. We need the bottom-top approach for our people to benefit and improve their standard of living
