Wike, others threaten to destroy Rivers- owned banana plantation Author(s): Tony Tamuno Politicians opposed to the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi have threatened to launch a destructive attack on the state government-owned banana plantation in Tai local government area. The politicians issued the threat at the ward and council inauguration of members of Grassroot Development Initiative in Tai Local government area of the state. Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike had mocked the state’s agricultural project calling on the people of Ogoni to rejects such projects. According to him, “There is nothing called new PDP. They have been defeated in court. They have been defeated in INEC. Nobody will challenge Mr. President. For all those intimidation, be rest assured, you will get all the necessary protection within the ambit of the Law. Nobody will intimidate you. “You must know people who mean well for you. You all have to know that the Ogonis are not monkeys. When I hear people say they are from Ogoni, the only industry they have for you is a banana industry. Holy Ghost Fire for all the people, for all those that conspired that there is nothing that is good for the Ogoni people except to make them have bananas. Ogoni people have paid their dues. They are not meant to be eating bananas,” he said. Also, former Senator representing Rivers senatorial district, Lee Maeba said he would personally take the lead to ravage the plantation. “We are not monkeys and we are not growing bananas at all. They have been talking on the radio that they uncovered a plot. There is no need to uncover anything, I said I will lead a well-meaning protest of all the Ogonis and by the time we return there will be no more bananas,” he threatened. Maeba also alleged that the banana plantation is one of the factors undermining the implementation of the United Nations Environmental Programme, UNEP report: “I said it in Bori that after listening to the cries of the Ogonis they agreed that the soil of Ogoni is contaminated and there must be clean-up and compensation. When the compensation team arrived from New York, Pharo led a group of agriculturists and went to establish banana farm and told them that the soil is good that they should not pay compensation; they should not clean up the land. “But with those bananas they are using to deceive our people, to deceive the United Nations, to deceive the Federal government that the soil is clean. We shall clean up the bananas and clean up the soil.” In a related development, a Former Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Chibudum Nwuche has said Governor Amaechi will be made to account for all the allocations he has received. Nwuche said this at the GDI event held in Tai Local Government area. He also accused Governor Amaechi of playing politics with funds accrued to the state. “What pains me most is that somebody we freely gave a mandate to and placed in Government House has forsaken the state and gone on adventures. “He has bought a plane. He will carry journalists and they will go to a place called Songhai Farms, they will go to one medical centre, they will go to one school. They go to one school all the time as if we have no schools before. “How can you spend over N3 trillion only on schools and medical centres. I challenge our Governor to a debate. He should come out and account to the people what he has been doing with our money for the past 6 years,” he said. Nwuche, who is also the immediate past acting National Deputy Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, tasked the people of the state to support President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 general election. Among other politicians who spoke at the event were Felix Obuah, Abiye Sekibo, Sergeant Awuse, Kennth Kobani. The banana plantation is one of the major agricultural projects of the Rivers state government which is jointly owned by Union De Initiative SA de CV of Mexico and has cost a speculated sum of N 10 billion. telegraphng.com/2013/10/wike-others-threaten-destroy-rivers-owned-banana-plantation |

This is what we get from clueless leadership. Agriculture and education are the bedrock of development of any nation. I wonder what would be left of this nation in a few years to come with this set of clueless leaders on board. 2 Likes |

Some people are dogs when it comes to thinking. Aside their master's order, they are clueless! He built schools. Standard and even more than standard schools in rivers. We all see them. Schools that trash the so called private ones. He invested in Agriculture wen u are busy running the world with 'the land needs to be cleaned'. Other Agricultural agencies who wishes to be in rivers for production won't go because of ur claims! And he is proving u wrong and u are drawing back the progress! The kinds of politics we play in this country is a killer! Nutting else! This is where u will see people like sincere9gerian rubbishing progress cos the progressive is an opposition. This is where u see people like asari dokubo ready to cause war if jona ain't elected just cos of the free money! Even though he knew jona ain't any good for evenhis people! This is Nigeria, where the fools govern the wise, and more fools sing their praises! Welcome to HELL!!! 6 Likes |

How can these self-serving politicians convince us they have our interest at heart and mean well for us when they fight the visible progress in the state so blatantly? Amaechi has done his bit, the man may not be perfect but he is surely one of the best R/S has had. None of those politicians listed there would do half of what Amaechi has done if given the opportunity. All they want is money and power, we know better. Please leave R/S alone. |

Amaechi has is faults just like any other human, but investment in education ,health and agriculture is good for the state and should not be criticized for those? The banana plantation is not hindering any UN clean up effort! if that were to be the case then every other agricultural practice going on in ogoni land is also in the way of the clean up, as ogoni ppl are still planting,harvesting and eating cassava from their polluted soils. My concern for the banana plantation is that it should be regulated and monitored by NDLEA so that it is not used by the Mexican investors as a front to smuggle narcotics/drugs which that country is known for in and out of rives state/Nigeria. Disagreeing with amaechi political leaning like i do does not make the gov. evil,and we should not blindly condemn everything he does. I have always maintained and most objective Nigerians agree in terms of education and healthcare development in nigeria today Amaechi is the star in this regards, but this giant strides were achieved mostly in his first term. Gov Amaechi has gone to sleep in his second term, because he has chosen to pick up a fight with all his regional political allies instead of fighting for the development of rivers state like he did in his first term. Amaechi should mend fences with his regional political allies rather than continue in this fight that will lead him nowhere and use the last few yrs of his tenures to complete all the pending projects in rivers state so his name will be rightly etched in the political sand of time of rivers state. But here is where choice/freewill come in, time will tell if ameachi is making the right choice politically. but if this fight continues the losers will be the good people of rivers state for we all know that the gov. is distracted form developing the state presently. If he had sustained the tempo of the first 4 yrs for 8 yrs rivers state would be a heaven in Nigeria. 1 Like |

@Atuoke, Am really impressed by your post. I know you have always been an Amaechi critic but your post shows you are a truthful and honest person, not like others who criticise blindly.There is no govt that is not criticised no matter how good . Amaechi has his own faults and should be criticised when necessary,but not in areas where he has done well because of political differences. |

How much has Bayelsa govt received? Why are you not asking about the use of Bayelsa income. Do you know how many people have been employed by the R/S govt under Amaechi so far? Do you know the investments the govt has made? How many R/S people on RSSDa scholarship and those that have benefitted from R/S microfinance agency. I am not saying Amaechi is a saint, but there are so much on ground to show that he has not wasted 3trillion. |

Now tell me or point out to everyone here where Wike was described as representing the fg/Gej or shame the devil by telling the truth that Wike is making those threats out of the personal quarrel he has with Amaechi. When you argue, let LOGIC be your guiding lamp. Hatred is truly a disease o jare |
| Re: FG Plans Destruction Of Rivers State Agricultural Project. by cooltone: 12:16am On Oct 15, 2013 |
delvinmaya:Before Wike can be seperated from the the federal government, the honorable position he holds is supposed to be relinquished. The presidency whom he represents in that capacity through the necessary channels needs to come out publicly to deny Wike and sanction him if necessary to exonorate themselves. For now he represents the FG unless proven otherwise. 1 Like |

I read that this happened at a public function where he was the highest federal government official. Am waiting for the federal government to come out public to tell us that Wike is on his own. That is when we can start arguing whether to exornorate Fg or not. For now their position is clear. 1 Like |

Nyesom Wike seems to have forgotten that he is an honourable minister. He acts and talks more like a thug soiling the honourable position he holds. His Abuja masters are not even aware the man is giving them a very bad reputation. For any sensible person those people that attended this function should be invited and questioned by the police as they are threatening the peace of Rivers state. This is the kind of gathering that cp mbu is supposed to stop not that of teachers trying to collect employment letters. |
