Editor’s note: Not only have the coordinated October 13th terrorist attacks in Paris caused universal grief and drawn global outrage.

Chibuike Amaechi, by Rivers PDP and take strong exception to the party’s description of Amaechi as a misfit. READ ALSO:  VIDEO: This Is What Wike Wants From Biafran Protesters “Tho
