Has Boko Haram or Herdmen invaded Rivers ni? Even Borno, Zamfara etc are yet to have the presence of troops like this. We refuse to major on the minor.#ArmyLetRiversPeopleDecide

Nigeria Army has my highest regard, they have shown they could be gallant when called upon to defend our territory.

But Rivers State is not at war, it's police duty to protect citizens internally, our C-IN-C has "mis-commanded"#ArmyLetRiversPeopleDecide
