Governor of Rivers State Barrister Nyesom Wike has declared that any Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria coming to Rivers State must first of all take permission from him before coming to the state to avoid any security breakdown
"A Minister coming to my State should consult me to avoid security breakdown, but you see some of them coming without letting me know, that's the dirty politics they play"
Governor Nyesom Wike made this Statement while speaking as a guest on Channels Television Sunrise Daily Tuesday Morning in Abuja
The Governor said the action of some Ministers including the Former Governor of the State and current Minister of Transportation Rt Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is not acceptable because as the Chief Security officer of Rivers State,he ought to know who is visiting the state from Abuja
The governor also said that he has lost confidence in the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, because the commission is too inconsistent, as it works to promote the interest of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State
Governor WIKE said for instance that the Minister of Environment, Hon Mrs Amina Mohammed would just call her party men, fly into Rivers State without him the Chief Security Officer of the state knowing.

I agree with Wike

I agree with Wike

he did not let us know if he did the same when Amechi was the Governor and he was a minister.

What nonsense. And the mugun above me agreed to this.

He was not asked, am sure he did.

This man is an overfed baby elephant. He's lucky that PMB does not interfere at all in state affairs. If OBJ was in charge, he would have been kidnapped and smuggled away inside a box during the governorship elections like Ngige

you are sure?

wat goes around comes around, wen u were minister of education, were u letting amechi no anytime you want to visit Rivers state?

Remii:
you are sure?

I am presuming he did, why else would he accuse Amaechi if he did the same thing as minister?

Are you now supporting illegality because he is not your party man? Ministers need to inform governors before visiting their states

Is that in the Constitution somewhere? What do you mean by illegality? Pls don't throw words around if you don't know what they mean. Does the governor of a state just wake up and begin to make new laws without the assent of the State house of assembly?

That is the height of irresponsibility on the part of Wike.

with all the enormous task on his sleeve, this man still dey check who nd who is coming in to the state.....ise yen o kalara

Abeg hunger dey town una dey reason visitation letter abeg all of una sud go luk bush....

Why dnt u just start a visa procedure to go through before coming?

A minister of the federation should inform a Governor before visiting any part of Nigeria

And this is a barrister Product of Nigeria education

Wailing zombies will foolishly follow the rubbish this man is saying. ... ops too late

Some people here are so shallow. See their response like students in the secondary school. Protocol demands you inform the number 1 citizen of a Country, State, Local Gvt. Etc of your visit. This is for security reasons, protocol, & logistics. This is because for the duration of time you are in that domain, The first Citizen is responsible for your security. Should something happen to you, He/She will be held accountable. This is not about which Party is in power.

Do you guys even reason through your anus? What the governor said is absolutely correct... For security reasons, the Chief security officer of the state has to be informed by a Minister before even boarding his flight.. And is funny you are comparing a Lion like Nyesome Wike to a weakling like a Ngige... Even OBJ chose his battles well enough

Good

No need for permission from any thugnor.Except you are visiting a motor park,that is when you seek the permission of a thugnor.
