“I was humbly rewarded by the Governor’s Aides and orderlies today the 22nd of July 2021 @Rumuola Junction PH , during his project tour /inspection with a dehumanizing assault and beat for cheering up the man I worked for and voted into power since 2015 till date.
“To well meaning Rivers Sons and Daughters of this noble Rivers State, my post is made here not for a calculated attempt to mal or defame the proactive Governor of the state but to save this memories here for posterity purposes.
“I also wish to state categorically that , the Governor never ordered them (Aides) to dehumanize me, rather they acted upon themselves with the conviction that I can’t do them nothing which is very correct, I rest my case into God’s hands for judgement.
“I believe in the school of thought that says “A son of nobody ,will one day become somebody.”As I write, I ‘ am severely injured around my vertebrae bone ,my head aches severely, Swollen Eyes and wounded and fractured legs.Our bible says , in all things, give thanks and praise to God.I pray and thank God for life.
