Four northern governors were stoned at the Port Harcourt International Airport as they arrived the state capital for a solidarity visit on the governor, Rotimi Amaechi.

Also stoned was Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka who was also visiting the state for the umpteenth time. Incidentally, Soyinka has been a very frequent visitor to Rivers State in the recent past.

The youths who came together under the Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI) may have laid ambush for the convoy and started raining stones on the convoy as they were to move out of the airport vicinity.

The affected governors are those of Niger, Babangida Aliyu, Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Jigawa State, Sule Lamido.

A member of the GDI said the youths were angry that the governors, like the others who have been visiting the state since the crisis started, were coming to take away the state’s money that would have been used for development.

According to him, the youths were also angry that Soyinka was becoming a regular guest in the state. Only recently, Soyinka was quoted as saying that the president should be held responsible if anything happened to Amaechi.

The youths said Soyinka’s frequent visits were suspicious, hence their reaction, which they said would stop more people from coming on similar visits.

Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI) Thugs and Stone Throwers Initiative. (TSTI)

what is even happening in this port Harcourt?? I don't get it

what are they coming to do self?
who called them?
person weh en house deh burn, deh find way commot properties, you wan come roast corn for the fire

So we know who the stone throwing people are. and they would say some people are Almajiris

if a Southern leader goes anywhere in the North and he is stoned at least we know those who started it

The masses are just as useless as the leaders. For cheap money they allow themselves to be bought. If there was a police shoot out and a few of them died would it have been for a worthy cause?

Jeezyy: This one is strong!!!

bring d holy cane

Hmmmmmm!

HAHAHAHAAAAA :PGood for them. Go back to your states, HYPOCRITES

hmmmmmmmmm.................it has been said that Slaves cannot tolerate a man who knows freedom................Who is fooling who now?


God help my country !

Dis madness don 2much

I like that

The Stoning no reach them... Especially that Wole Soyinka

Prof. Wole thinks he can now oppress people because he has written books and has been awarded Nobel Prize in Literature; also called Literature Icon. Its been long when he said this (When you marry an illiterate as a wife, you start making poor decisions like Jonathan).

The true fact is that he hates Jonathan's government, that is why he's making horrorful ulterances. This is not good, if someone insults him or his wife (Wole and Wife), he won't like it. Atleast Older people bow to 18year old Kings, Why not have little respect for the President?

WOLE SOYINKA IS SENTIMENTAL!

i wonder why this people wont allow people in ph rest. why must they come now of all times,i guess to keep the polity hot and make rivers state remain on the news. mtew.....trying to arouse unnecessary pity
