This is a sad prelude to the forthcoming rerun elections in the state. A peaceful election in Rivers state is a mirage. There are too many bloodthirsty politicians in that state.

Rivers will always remain a PDP state no matter what... Even if Buhari and his cohorts moves the seat of power to Rivers, it won't change nothing.

Then people cry when USA doesn't sell weapons or when Obama doesn't want to visit. What up with this country and shooting during protest. Don't the police understand when peaceful protest becomes impossible violent protest become inevitable.

Keep shooting these people eventually the cult boys will be least of your worries.

Its good to see people standing up for their right. Because the masses does not have wealth, the are maltreated.
While the elites who have stolen and used the wealth to fight back government are walking freely.
Is this not encouraging people to steal more?
