just listen to the bullshi.t you're writing

All of you hailing wike, I believe you guys are joking. The cabal have been silent to wike's rants like forever. He shouldn't let them look at his side. Finally, it's the people that will suffer.

This is a joke right? Please stop this type of story, there's nothing like that story up there. Protection of lives comes before other issues in the constitution.

CoronaVirusPro:
Bunkum and balderdash

Effort in futility.

Even if you close all their offices, it doesn't stop them from flying to and fro Rivers State.

In a world where transactions are now completed online, who walks into the office.

I don't even know the office of any airline in the entire world.

I don't think Caverton buses any facility browned by Rivers state or any of their struggling LGs.

CoronaVirusPro:


Tell us why

Is like you don't know what the virus is doing to developed countries. Mind uu, chief medical officer in UK just resigned because she ignored her "stay at home order". States are closing borders against other states in Australia.

Okeytus:
So they have FG approval to fly into Rivers but when the pandemic escalates in Rivers, the state government will blamed
An Enterprise like Caverton should be working with the state government where they operate to ensure this virus is well contained so it doesn't escalates, instead they are breaking the rules of the state; if you can't help them, why break their rules?
lockdown doesn't apply only to land borders, but air and water are involved.

There is more to this , wike is not been sincere

I live in akwa ibom, people have been traveling from uyo to PH everyday, my friend entered PH this evening, he drove, the police didn't stop, they collected money as usual.

If Wike is so passionate about the lock down and containing the virus, he should know his boarders are very porous

Why won't the federal government carry the state government along?

This is idiotic thugnor is not but a dictator.

The two main Caverton offices in Rivers are located in Air Force base and shell IA so... how will an LGA chairman enforce this “order”??

poshestmina:



Woke is the Governor and Chief Security Officer of Rivers State and so can, should and has done the right thing to protect his territory.

What exactly was the mission of the helicopter and who were the passengers?

Their Sinister , unknown mission is highly suspicious.

Why does Lagos State government have right to arrest and prosecute Funke Akindele etc for breaking the Lockdown Regulations and Rivers State government can't arrest and prosecute people for same offences?

SMH

What business is more important than the health of Rivers State people at this particular point in time?
Wike has done well and we are in support of it.


Everybody stay in your state till all of this is over ,it's not that hard!!!!.

So only Caverton helicopters were flying? Lol, u no sabi d politics dat is in play here.

Wike following on the steps of fayose.
Bringing agberoism to government house
At least back. In the day the thugs were in the creeks
Now they are in government house

What an illiterate fool.

Nonsense

Aviation matters purely reside in the exclusive list. Thus, only the fed govt can make legislation or pronouncement on it. This is more reason why state government needs fed govt approval before constructing airport. And more reason why you won't see a commissioner for aviation or airport matters at the state level.

If federal government indeed authorized the flight this sanction will be reverted in no time.

michlins:
according to the land use act of Nigeria, the federal government owns all land and leaves it in trust of the states. Wike is a care taker. Buhari is the landlord

who is this person trying to quote the law wrongly?
point of correction: sec 2 of the Land Use Act empowers the Governor to hold land in urban areas in trust for the people in his state.


meanwhile, am starting a blog for law students.

michlins:
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

Who the god wants to kill if first make mad. Wike is gradually becoming a bull in the Chinese shop.

RIVERS STATE GOVERNMENT DECLARES CARVETON HELICOPTER PERSONA NON GRATA

•directs Local Government Council Chairmen to close all Carveton Helicopters Offices in the state

For endangering the lives of Rivers people by its suspicious operations, the Rivers State Government has declared Carveton Helicopters, Persona Non Grata in the state.

In a State Broadcast on Wednesday, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike directed Local Government Council Chairmen to close the Offices of Carveton Helicopters across the state.

He said: "We appreciate the need to protect business interests andoperations in the State and we will do whatever that is required to ensure that no business is unduly affected by the measures we have taken to combat the Coronavirus.

"However, we shall not welcome businesses or companies that value their business activities or profit more than or in clear disregard of the lives and health of our people.

"By its actions Calverton Helicopters have clearly shown that Rivers lives do not matter to it. It is an enemy of Rivers people and is hereby declared persona non grata in Rivers State.

"With this declaration Calverton Helicopters can only chose to operate in any part of Rivers State at its own risk as Local Government Chairmen have been directed to close their offices and prevent their operations."

Governor Wike said that the highly insensitive and provocative actions of Calverton Helicopters took place in the midst of credible intelligence reports about plans by enemies of the state to traffic carriers of the dreaded Coronavirus into the State.

He said: "Their morbid intention is to create panic by pushing up the infection rate and rubbish the robust measures we have since put in place to cut off the spread of the virus and keep our State and our citizens safe and secure from the ravaging pandemic.

" As expected, and required by our laws, the crew and the passengers on board that ill-fated helicopter were promptly arrested by the law enforcement personnel and are being prosecuted before our courts in line with our COVID 19 Declarations and Containment Orders.

"Calverton Helicopters claimed to have gotten permits from some federal agencies to fly passengers into the State , which never bordered to take the State Government into confidence in issuing such permits in violation of our laws and containment orders.

"While federal agencies reserve the right to issue flight permits to airline operators to fly into Rivers State, we insist that the State Government must equally be informed and taken intoconfidence in the process.

"This the only way to avoid suspicion, conflicts of interests and unnecessary bickering between the State and Federal Governments in our collective efforts to combat the spread of COVID 19 in the country."

Governor Wike added: "Let me reiterate that for us, COVID 19 in Rivers State is a matter of life and death, and we will never succumb to any blackmail from any person, institution or authority in our determination to protect our citizens and our State from the spread of this deadly virus.

"Since we triggered the law on Calverton Helicopters, we have seen and read all sorts of hilarious and frivolous comments, particularly on social media, questioning the propriety of our actions against the carrier and its passengers

"At this time and under the present situation, nothing; Irepeat; nothing, is more important to us than to safeguard thelives and wellbeing of our citizens no matter the cost, and we shall spare no efforts to achieve this singular most fundamental objective of our Government."

The Rivers State Governor said that the action of Calverton Helicopters when they conveyed passengers of doubtful Coronavirus status into the State was in flagrant violation of the State Government’s total restriction on flights into Port Harcourt.

"We have sworn to protect the lives and advance the wellbeing our people, and nothing can stop us from taking all necessary steps to prevent or stop any person, action or activities that would endanger the lives of our citizens," he said.

This wike is just pained that the federal government didn't give him 10 billion to embezzle. Should we pray that what is happening in Lagos switch to rivers state so that the governor can get 10billion?

oyeb15:
Federal Government have sole authority over airspace. States have no right whatsoever.
Wike can't try that if Olusegun Okikiola Obasanjo is the president.
This lockdown if not quickly stopped by FG, some states will declare independence. It will break Nigeria.

Let the lock down break Nigeria. It will be like dream come true.

I don't know much about this issue, but wike has grown passionate about the growth of his state.


I wish him well. He has decided to become a great leader. I pray that God continues to fill him with the right wisdom to lead his state.


The guy call one shady titler usman danfido wanna be.

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

And the FG can use that power with impunity if it so decides.

People will only shout. Nothing will come out of it. Shebi it's this country one state did not get FG allocation for 8 years.
