Congress (APC) met in Lagos on Thursday.
At the meeting, the governors
expressed their disapproval with the
Commissioner of Police in Rivers
State, Joseph Mbu.
The gathering lasted from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at one
of the chalets at Babatunde Fashola's official
residence in Lagos.
Briefing newsmen shortly after meeting, the
Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum,
Owelle Rochas Okorocha stated:
"The Forum took an in-depth look at the
activities of the Nigeria Police Force in Rivers
State in the last couple of months. Forum
frowns at the recklessness, impunity and
outright misconduct of the Commissioner of
Police, Mr Joseph Mbu. Forum maintains that
the Nigeria Police Force is not a PDP police and
such flagrant violations of the Constitution and
laws of Nigeria should henceforth stop."
The nine governors were Lagos State Governor,
Babatunde Fashola; Rivers Governor, Rotimi
Amaechi; Ogun Governor, Senator Ibikunle
Amosun; Osun Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola;
Owelle Rochas Okorocha of Imo State;
Also present were Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State;
Umaru Al-Makura of Nassarawa State; Governor
Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State; and Senator Chris
Ngige.
Joseph Mbu has been heavily criticized since
last Saturday's incident at the College of Arts and
Science, Port Harcourt, where Senator Magnus
Abe was shot with rubber bullets by the Police.
