10b given to Lagos is what is under contention here. Wike want Rivers own money as oil hub of Nigeria. He already said he was informed about expatriates coming to drill oil and inquired who ensure their status since FG is not supporting him. Now Carverton brought these guys and he locked up their pilots. His anger is that federal is not cooperating and want a bargaining chip. Let's see how it plays out. For me he would have used dialogue

Imagine what he has to say" Exclusive list" when we all must take decisive proactive actions to fight the pandemic.

jjohndoe83:

Since you agree that aviation is on the exclusive list, so it means you admit that they did no wrong up till the point that they landed in the airport. So, at what point did they violate any orders made by RSG? Merely stepping out of the airport cannot be an offence and their act of landing the helicopter was valid. So, what is the basis for their arrest?

Wike is lucky that we have an absentee President otherwise, he would know the true meaning of the so called "federal might" of the FG.

The matter of interest is the flight manifest which the helicopter company refused to tender to wike till this point. Wike is right on this, federal might can do nothing, even the aviation minister knows this.

Don't mind them.

Trust an Obasanjo, he would have ordered 20 unnecessary flight into the state.

Buhari is still gentle. Obasanjo in this kind of matter would have used Wike's ears to blow trumpet.

AfroKnight:



Lol. They had the right to fly in. He arrested them because of that simple action not because of quarantine or anything like that. And that is what makes this power play quite embarrassing.

It's a private owned company and airstrip, not an airport belonging to FG. They can only fly and land at FG airports(if FG permits), but must not step their feet out of the airport else Wike got the right to grab them.
Caverton is a private company and operates within the governor's jurisdiction.

CoronaVirusPro:


Thank you.

Something's we argue about on this forum are baseless and uncalled for.

And it's damning to see people argue on what's glaring to all.

Thank you.

They are blind supporters and sycophants. Their heroes can never be wrong.

I don't know.

They are in court
Nairaland is not the COURT
I was not there.

Were you?
The correct thing for Sidika to do is go to court rather than talking about exclusive list

Exclusive list is about legislation.
Wike has not legislated.

They have been remanded BY A COURT

MelesZenawi:



Where are the crew they flew into Rivers state?

All of them has left..

Too bad for the health of the state..

they are rivers indigene Wike or any body can not stop them from entering there state

Marine54:
na small pickin dey warry you! Who is the chief security of the state ?

You are so ignorant, does being the chief security officer of the state gives power over the security apparatus? NO
The FG only need to direct the IG of police and the chief of naval staff both of them would be redeployed mind you woke cannot give such directives he does not have the constitutional power

Idotic minister that went to UK to launch an audio Air Nigeria that never saw light of day ....instead of grandstanding or beating chest like a gorilla one would have expected a cerebral person to apply diplomacy by putting a call across to the governor to work out the impasse and put adequate measures in place to ensure that subsequent flights goes hitch free by atleast subjecting the passengers to Corona virus test at the departure end or on arrival at their destination, these are no ordinary times for heaven's sake

These are troubling times and one would have expected a measure of synergy between states and federal government but no they rather play dirty politics.

So that Una go drill the oil finish and thief all the money abi

ARE YOU OKAY AT ALL? BECAUSE YOU JUST SHOWN YOUR INABILITY TO COMPREHEND

1999 Constitution for Nigeria: Exclusive Legislative List has 68 item

These are the areas the powers reserved exclusively for the central government are defined. This means that only the central or federal government can legislate on the subjects in the exclusive list. Interference of the regional or state governments on matters in the exclusive list can be declared null and void and unconstitutional


Aviation, including airports, safety of aircraft and carriage of passengers and goods by air.

Shut up and stop being ignorant on social media. This is not a matter of legislation (which the federal govt reserves the right to). This is not a matter of building airports or licencing an airline.

This is about pilots flouting the rules of a state and they will be dealt with according to the laws of the state.

The boldness with which you displayed your ignorance and stupidity is amazing

Caverton is a private company and operates within the governor's jurisdiction.

They landed at the airforce base and the Gov went inside the airforce base to arrest them.
They were charged to court and the Judge ordered them to be remanded in prison till next month despite showing the all the necessary approvals .

Lol. The airspace is the bone of contention and that belongs to the FG. Their licenses are issued by the FG. Wike just bullied them. No more no less. Besides, the FG has not declared a lockdown in Rivers.

Wike is just skirting the boundaries of illegality. It’s power play. He made his move, he is waiting for the FG to make theirs. I however wonder if the FG will step in for one of their favourite contractors in the aviation industry.

FG wants to transfer their irresponsibility to the states
The same irresponsibility that led us to this situation whereby this virus should never have entered our shores

Austino50:

Make up stories?

BafanaBafana:

Your example sef. They are tried under state law for robbery and not possession of arms.

:

So what?
That is enough of itself
They were charged to court were they charged for a flying offence?


However you are wrong GOOGLE Is your friend

It is unlawful in Lagos state to possess a firearm without a licence.
The law in Nigeria is that the IG issues licences but the offence of unlawful possession is a Lagos state law

Well let the lawyers handle this. The state is on lockdown and the governor has the right to know what goes in or what.
Oil companies were not given a waiver, they should have known better. FG has made no provision for compulsory quarantine. Wike may not be doing it the right way(dont know because I'm not a lawyer) however he is doing what's right.

Wike can obtain judgement in court. He is the governor and he has never been shy of using needless force.

The fact is they had the right to fly in. Simple. Wike just used the courts to bully them.

Federal might no be army, police , airforce?


Why has the federal might not defeated Boko Haram and boko Haram keep reducing the fedey force to numbers..

FG vs Pastor Chris
most people will queue behind Pastor Chris

FG vs WIKE
most Rivers people will queue behind WIKE.

The judiciary by the way is another kettle of fish.

Buhari and Wike share same immunity.

Your mentality is local

MelesZenawi:
Wike has full rights.

Federal govt power ends in aviation while Wike is the Governor of Rivers state.

If we go by your logic of exclusive list and aviation the plane will remain in air and if it lands both the persenggers will remain in the airport. if they step foot outside the airport they are venturing into Wike Jurisdiction because he remains the Governor of Rivers State and land belongs to state government


These are nonsense 1999 constitution that is keeping this republic down

I think the aviation minister is right, as much inept the Federal government can be, it still has right(s) over certain sectors and entities in the economy. The Federal government has rights over movements of health, military and avaition personnel in the country only if they are meant for national emergencies.
But then, state laws or constitutions may contradict my assertion though, just my thoughts

This is not about flying in but coronavirus
Not complying with the lockdown

They can appeal to higher courts

Is Wike the only one bullying courts
Has Wike pulled guns in open courts causing judges to flee?

Revenue over lives and safety of citizens! Same thing that got us into this coro mess!

The Minister of Aviation said,the Pilots got Clearance from FG to fly and land in Rivers State.
There are matters of Urgency that may contravene the law of a State.
Governor Wike made signed a By-law that's conflicting with that of the FG at the moment.
FG has every authority and autonomy as it constitutes the "supreme Law of the Land" and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws.Provided it does not Contravene the Nigerian Constitution.
Even the state courts are bound by, and state constitutions subordinate to the supreme law.
Wike acted within the Confers of his power to get them arrested but right now it is time to release them and let the FG do it's Job as a matter of urgency.

In Rivers State they were not. Even the ones that applied including NNPC was not given a waiver.
