MelesZenawi:
You feel you can fight state government because of few phone numbers you have in Abuja.

Your business will cripple and you will lose...


Instead of apologising for the conduct, you as a private establishment wants to tell the state government that you have phone numbers in Abuja..

Who will create the conducive environment if not the same state government...


1999 constitution needs to be scrapped and shreds Into pieces...

The paper called constitution is a hindrance to meaningful development...

Wike is the governor of the state with the highest misery index and unemployment rate in Nigeria so where is the sense in chasing away businesses and private employers?

The fact that Wike won't let them operate doesn't mean they can not move their operation elsewhere or even across Wike's border, it's his loss, but no that I expect Wike and people like you to spot his foolery.

Thank God you know that Buhari disregards the rule of law

I hope you will not cry for Buhari when the international police takes him out

Ask Trump!!!
why do you read your international law from. Nothing Trump can do to a sovereign nation like Nigeria. You know Nnamdi Kanu is a British citizen yet Brittain couldn't order for his release

They dont land in the Office, they land at Airports or helipad located on the Oil Rigs or at the airport or some parts of their large expanse of land but wherever they want to land, they still need a License to operate and that comes from the federal Govt at Abuja.

In the case of Caverton, they currently use a Naval base in PH and even Wike or his LGA touts cannot enter the place, it is a fed. Govt property. grin grin
Let him stop all these posturing,

And they do not need their offices to run their day to day business?

Den fit rent office space or obtain federal permission to operate from inside the base.

Do they even need office inside PH or anywhere in Rivers sef?

Governor Nyesom Wike was on Wednesday given 24 hours by Air Operators of Nigeria (AON) to release pilots of Caverton Helicopters arrested in Rivers for allegedly violating the state’s lockdown order.

AON vowed that it would stop all flights operations to Rivers State for three months should Wike not heed to its demand.


Wike had ordered the arrest of the pilots on the claims that they violated RIvers government’s no movement order to curtail the spread of COVID-19 in the state.

But in a statement by its chairman, Captain Nogie Meggison AON said: “The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) hereby calls for the immediate release of two (2) Pilots of Caverton Helicopters that were recently arrested and taken into custody in handcuffs by the Rivers State Government for allegedly flouting the COVID19 Lockdown Order in the State.

“The Airline Operators Nigeria condemns the move in the strongest term and considers it very unlawful in the face of the fact that the airline had secured all necessary approvals from the Ministry of Aviation and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) for the flight in line with the protocols for exemption of Essential flights as issued by the NCAA.

“The AON also frowns at the crude action because the pilots were only doing their lawful duties which were also in line with President Muhammed Buhari’s Exemption Order of the Oil and Gas sector during the shutdown exercise.

“Aviation is under the Exclusivity List of the Federal Government and the Port Harcourt NAF Base is a Federal Government entity outside the jurisdiction of the Rivers State Government.

“The Airline Operators of Nigeria hereby demands the immediate and unconditional release of the two pilots with all purported charges dropped so that they can go back to their families for the Easter holidays and return to their jobs.

“However, should the Rivers State Government fail to release the pilots within 24 hours, Airlines in the country will be forced to boycott all scheduled and unscheduled commercial and private flight operations, including oil and gas offshore flight services, into Port Harcourt for a period of three (3) months.

please eh guys. Let's assume Buhari orders the IG of police to withdraw the security attached to the person of Wike, wetin una fit do from the comfort of your keyboard and phones. What if Buhari decides to stop the flow of allocation to Rivers State, wetin una go do? What if he decides to militarize the street of Rivers State and orders everyone including the governor to stay indoors, what will you folks do?
p



You truly know nothing like Jon Snow. Most of you still believe in your little mind that Nigeria is a banana republic.
How I wish your Buhari and his Chief of staff are even well enough to act as you have predicted.
No be person wey well for body dey fight?

Psalter:
Wike is a disappointment to the legal profession that i belong. It is elementary law that aviation matter falls under the exclusive list. One therefore wanders where he derives the power to arrest Pilots on national assignment in his state. In all honesty, i wander why we must play politics with issues that affects all of us. So sad

please when the powers that be comes hard on Wike, don't claim marginalization. There are exclusive lists which Wike have no power to control. This guy is just power drunk and we all know how Buhari can disregard rule of law when he wants to discipline someone. Ask NK,ask dasuki

Don't be a hero-worshipper! Buhari cannot do anything to Woke both in this life or wherever! Two of them are leaving office same time. Sorry.

First of all,you need to learn some manners.
Yes ,they are guilty of breaking the already laid down rules .
Let them provide the passengers and the details of their mission.
If it were to be some other state ,I'm sure you hypocrites will be the ones calling for their arrest ,now it's Rivers State ,we are touts and Woke is bitter because he didn't get a share of the Covid_19 allocated funds blah blah?
SMH

Learn some grammar and how to type properly. As for the law, airspace is governed by FEDERAL laws, not state laws. That is why you have FAAN, NCAA and such. People like you are the reason why Rivers is one of the least safe states in Nigeria. So tell me, genius, what jurisdiction His Thiefcellency Wike has in the area where the FEDERAL permit has already been given? None! And that is exactly what makes him the chief tout.

I'm sure they are people close to you that needs to be schooled ,do them the favor.

Same FGN that stopped intestates and international flights because of the pandemic gave permit to fly in "unknown people" into Rivers State.

They gave permit blah blah ... Where are the passengers ? If they didn't have ulterior and sinister motives ,why are they hiding them?


Same way a certain senator brought the model that happened to be the 1st COVID-19 case in Rivers .

Let them provide and isolate the passengers and every other person onboard same way it's being done all over the world.

Till then , keep paying your vow against knowledge and reality.
