Former Governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi says he did not sleep for six months while in charge of the state due to insecurity.
Speaking, to delegates of the All Progressives Congress in Katsina State, on Monday, Amaechi said he started sleeping after defeating insecurity in the state.
According to him, they were consistently bombing criminals on a daily basis until they were defeated.
The Presidential hopeful, promised to bomb terrorists across the country until they are also defeated, if elected president.
Part of his statement reads,
For six months I did not sleep. So I said, they too will not sleep. Until they left Rivers people to sleep, then me too, I started sleeping.
That’s why anywhere I go for consultations with delegates, I go with Gen. Buratai and former Inspector General of Police, Abba Suleiman, who was the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State at the time and the former Chief of Air Staff, Sadique Abubakar who was Air Force commander in Rivers then.
We were bombing them everyday until they ran away.
