The Rivers State government was yesterday under tension with the arrest of the Speaker of the Rivers State house of assembly and PDP gubernatorial candidate Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.


Hon Rotimi’s arrest came on the heels of the investigation into the ownership of Arik air and the misuse of N100 billion state funds. According to our sources Hon Rotimi Amaechi had been warned of the impending arrest but disregarded calls by his hench men to go into hiding. Our source in a telephone interview with NigerianInsider.com, said “Hon Rotimi said the rumours of his impending arrest was from Prince Uche Secondus, Rivers State PDP chairman and would not take it to heart”.

There is no tension anywhere in rivers state over the arrest of anybody.

But it goes to show that the efcc is really working. Rivers state has suffered from under-development for 7 + years and d man in d saddle has managed to surround himself wit cronies such as amechi who even with glaring scenarios of inefficieny as well as maladministration will choose to turn a blind eye due to there own personal ambitions. I dey siddon look cause the show will get much more interesting in the coming days
