Nine Governors of the All Progressive 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.
