TRUE VERSION OF THE NEWS ON POINT....... It took us about two days but we have finally got to the real gist of the show of shame playing out in the political arena in Port Harcourt, capital of Rivers State. First fact is that, the man who wanted to impose himself on the Assembly as Speaker with just four members in his support, Hon. Evans Bapakaye Bipi, is doing so to please President Goodluck Jonathan and First Lady Patience Jonathan, who he described as “my mother”. The crisis degenerated after Hon Bipi and his “thugs” [believed to be cultists by their chants] beat up some Pro-Governor Rotimi Amaechi members and started bragging about it in public… One of those that was attacked by Hon Bipi and his thugs was Hon. Chidi Lloyd, the Majority Leader of the State House of Assembly. Naijaurban gathered that Hon Lloyd was angry that one of the men who attacked him along with Hon Bipi’s thugs was his “brother”, a fellow Ikwerre lawmaker. So when Hon Lloyd returned to the House of Assembly and discovered that Hon Bipi had brought in a fake mace to facilitate his swearing-in as a factional speaker he grabbed the fake mace and chase Hon Bipi and the other four lawmakers. He caught up with his fellow Ikwerre lawmaker who had joined others to beat him up and he mercilessly use the fake mace on his “brother” as captured on tape. As at Thursday July 11, 2013, sources on ground told us that panic is still reigning supreme in the state. Policemen launched teargas canisters into Government House, even affecting Governor Amaechi. Also, soldiers attached to Amaechi have been withdraw by “powers from above”, and the governor has cried out for his safety, saying his life is in danger.
