The immediate past governor of Rivers State said he went out alone without his security aides to eat in an undisclosed eatery but became uncomfortable when miscreants started gathering at the facility begging him for money.

“I went to the restaurant and about 50 people came to greet me, and I had to leave because I was uncomfortable,” he said.

“There was a day I went to one of the restaurants to eat, and I didn’t go with bodyguards. I got there and there was over 50 people coming to greet me and I didn’t know what to do.

“I didn’t feel safe, you don’t interpret that as people liking you, of course.

“I told the workers at the restaurant that I’d be back, but I wasn’t comfortable at that point. “The moment I stepped out I saw some miscreants waiting for me to give them money,” he said.
