Rivers election peaceful because of security – Amaechi
Amaechi said those who are against the deployment of security are those who have concluded plans to attack electorates and hijack electoral materials which he claimed was the situation during 2015 general elections.
“So far, we have not heard of any shootings and killings. We are completely happy that the Army and the Police are everywhere maintaining the peace. We have held elections in Rivers State where over fifteen to twenty persons were killed but this is the only election that has recorded peace and it is because of the presence of the Military.
