The former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has reacted to the level of insecurity in Rivers State.
Amaechi, in a chat with journalists during the funeral service of late Justice Adolphus Godwin Karibi-Whyte yesterday said the state has returned to the days of Ateke Tom, as the people have lost their voice.
“You have lost your voice. The sage has gone under and nobody is speaking. When I was Governor, I gave people voice, but they have blocked those voices,” he said.
“Everyone is scared. We are going back to when Ateke held sway. We are going back to the period where we run away from our people. We are back to a period when nobody can speak. But from next year, I will begin to speak, if nobody wants to speak,” he added.
