Amaechi completed his registration at Ward 8 in Ubima, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, on Friday morning.
Rotimi Amaechi, a former Minister of Transportation, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Amaechi completed his registration at Ward 8 in Ubima, Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, on Friday morning.
Earlier, Tori News had reported that thugs earlier stormed the ADC’s office in the community and set it ablaze.
Speaking to supporters after his registration, Amaechi appealed for calm, urging his loyalists to resist any temptation toward reprisal or disorder.
“Don’t be violent because violence may lead to the death of somebody — don’t be violent. At the same time, they can’t stop us from meeting in our community,” he said.
The former Rivers State governor expressed satisfaction with the conduct of security operatives deployed to the area, singling out the state commissioner of police and the director of the Department of State Services for praise.
Amaechi equally called on security agencies to move swiftly to identify and prosecute those behind the arson, warning that such acts of intimidation would not deter the party’s activities in the area.
