They stressed that they fired the teargas and water cannons to disperse the “riotous and uncontrollable protesters” and maintained that they did not deliberately attack the governor, or even attempt to hurt anyone during the incident.uploaded on Facebook by Channels TV, said there was nothing wrong for a “father and a son” to have problems, apparently referring to the rift between him and Mr Wike, who helped to install him as governor.
“Our party is looking into it. That is what I will say. Every politician has his own interest,” he added.“We discussed a very serious national issue that has security implications, and that is the problem emerging in Rivers State.
