Photo: Gov Amaechi ‘Hits the Dance Floor’ at Funeral of First Lady’s Mother in Okrika Rivers State

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the Rivers State Governor dazzled the crowd at the Okrika National Field, venue of the well-attended funeral service of President Goodluck Jonathan’s mother-in-law, Madam Charity Fyneface Oba.
Amaechi swiveled happily, danced, sang and clapped to a Christian praise and worship song rendered in Igbo language to the admiration of both high and low at the occasion.
Clad in ceremonial uniforms, women joined the fun and ‘mobbed’ Governor Amaechi during his sonorous rendition of the Christian hymn.
Quite a number of Rivers indigenes ascribed their governor’s soul-lifting performance to a secret peace meeting he had with President Jonathan and the Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, on Thursday.
Patience later livened up and took to the floor with her guests, among who were fellow Dame, Abimbola Fashola, First Lady of Lagos State, who represented her husband, wives of all the governors of the South South and the South East who added colour, glitz and glamour to the occasion as they were all decked in uniformed attires.
