Rotimi Amaechi, former governor of Rivers state, has officially registered as a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Amaechi completed his registration at ward 8 in Ubima LGA of Rivers state on Friday morning.
The development comes hours after the office of the ADC in the community was set ablaze by unknown persons.
Residents reportedly woke up to an early morning fire that destroyed a section of the party office and caused panic in the area.
Amaechi urged supporters who gathered to welcome him to shun all forms of violence that could lead to loss of life.
“Don’t be violent because violence may lead to the death of somebody — don’t be violent. At the same time, they can’t stop us from meeting in our community,” he said.
“We thank the commissioner of police and the director of DSS, they showed a lot of professionalism. In fact, I wasn’t expecting that from them; I thought they would be behind the criminals.”
Amaechi urged security agencies to fish out those responsible for the burning of the ADC office in Ubima
