Rivers State: “Try Us and See” Melaye’s Group Dares Presidency. " Prepare for another Egypt"

Rivers State Crisis Unfolding onto the streets

The ongoing crisis in Rivers State may have turned a
new corner following the outbreak of violence at the
House of Assembly Chambers in Port Harcourt,
Rivers State but a recent release by a civil rights
group appears to up the stakes. The group called on
the Presidency to be prepared for full revolution
similar to the Egyptian revolution.
The group accused the President of the federal
republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and his
wife, Patience of having played a role in the political
crisis unfolding in Rivers State.

Information available to GLGL-NG through a
competent source in Rivers State indicate that the
Presidency has begun plans to launch a mass arrest
campaign against the pro-Amaechi lawmakers who
may have played a role in the ruckus that broke out at
the Assembly Chambers. The source also added that
the presidency has toyed with the idea of declaring a
segmented 'state of emergency' in Rivers State – in
the effort to weaken the political base of Governor
Amaechi. But this information has yet to be
confirmed.

According to the press release signed by the
Executive Secretary of the group, Mr. Dino Melaye,
[also a onetime lawmaker of the House of
Representatives] titled, "Touch Amaechi, touch
Nigeria" – the group chastised the President's
involvement in the unfolding crisis in Rivers State
while warning that the life of the Governor of Rivers
State remain in the hands of the Mr. President and
his wife.

In the words of the press release, "We will do
everything within the confines of the law to protect
our fragile democracy which the President or his wife
does not know how we got it."

"Touch Amaechi and touch Nigeria, The abuse of law
and order by both the anti-Amaechi legislators and
the Nigerian Police is not only disgraceful but will not
be tolerated by the mass of the people in this country.

The Presidency cannot absolve herself from this
satanic manifestation. Who ordered the military
withdrawal from Rivers state Government House?"
"What is going on in Rivers State is African magic.

We leave Amaechi's life in the hands of Mr. President
and his wife. We give the IGP one week to remove the
Commissioner of Police in Rivers state; failure to do
so, we shall mobilize Nigerians like never before to
occupy the Force HQ in Abuja. The President should
get ready for the Egyptian treatment".

"Usurps will not kill democracy. The battle to
safeguard our democracy is a battle of no retreat, no
surrender. President Jonathan is behaving as if he
has no legacy intentions. Try us and see, I dare the
Presidency, Enough is Enough."
The Inspector-General of Police [IGP], Mohammed
Abubakar was not spared by the group.

He was given
a one week ultimatum to act on the suspicious
actions of the Rivers State Commissioner of Police,
Mr. Joseph Mbu in his role in the Rivers State crisis.

"Failure to do so, we will mobilize to Force
Headquarters in Abuja"
