Politics / Re-opening Of OML 25: Governor Wike's Pro-people Leadership Pays Off by phcblog: 9:13am On Sep 30, 2019
Imagine for a split second if Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike was one of those docile, inconsiderate and anti-people leaders, Oil Mining License (OML) 25 would still be shutdown. If Governor Wike was one of the leaders that could be intimidated by lies, negative propaganda and false paid advertorials/radio programmes, the nation's economy would still be bleeding endlessly from lost revenue.


Thank God Wike "get morale". He has the staying power and courage to withstand the enemies of Rivers State and Nigeria. He is a man of vision with the capacity to ensure the state's goals are achieved.

It was on June 22, 2019 that Governor Wike set the ball rolling for the re-opening of OML 25. Before this historic date, NNPC, the Federal Government and the security agencies made no attempt to re-open the facility. Till date, no explanation has been given for this inaction.

From June 22, 2019, Governor Wike set in motion all the platforms for negotiation, public discourse, social and economic engagements on the re-opening of OML 25. This was the first courageous move to empower all stakeholders for the good of the country.




The meeting in question had in attendance Shell Petroleum Development Company, the host communities of OML 25, security agencies and Belema Oil. This meeting laid out the template for the resolution of outstanding grievances.

On June 27, 2019 , Stakeholder communities of Oil Mining License (OML) 25 in Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State and Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) agreed on the procedures for the re-opening of the oil facility during a meeting facilitated by Governor Wike at the Government House Port Harcourt.

Memorandum of Understanding was signed and the modalities for the release of intervention funds were agreed upon.

▪ as Atiku thanks Governor Wike for hosting the most successful convention

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that all Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation must rise up to sack the most inefficient Federal Government since the country gained independence.



Addressing journalists after a Thank You Visit by the PDP Presidential Candidate and Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at the Government House Port Harcourt on Sunday Evening, Governor Wike said that all PDP leaders and well-meaning Nigerians have a duty to form a united front to sack the failed APC Federal Government.

He said though different party leaders supported different aspirants, with the emergence of Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the party's Presidential Candidate, all hands must be on deck for the good of the country.

The governor said: "We have no party that will salvage the country other than the PDP. A candidate has emerged and we owe it a duty to see that the party takes over from the most inefficient and ineffective party in control of the FG.

"We are one family. You may support aspirant A or B, but once a candidate emerges , you owe it a duty to make sure your party returns to power.

"We are doing everything we can to ensure that we don't give APC any gap. They have failed Nigerians and we will take over in 2019".

He said that the successful hosting of the National Convention in Port Harcourt has once again shown that Port Harcourt is a peaceful location for national events.

"My happiness today is that the convention was successful and it went on without hitches", he said.

In his remarks, PDP Presidential Candidate and Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar said that the entire country must work towards ending the failed APC Federal Government in 2019.

He said: "The entire country needs a new government. Definitely, we don't need APC to return to power in 2019".

He said the country has gone through challenges ranging from recession, unemployment, insecurity and lack of unity. He said the country needs to chart a new direction in the interest of the people.

Atiku said that it is time for the people of Rivers State to consolidate their support for the PDP in the state.

He said: "I came to personally congratulate the Governor, people and Government of Rivers State and also thank him for hosting a most successful convention ".

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was accompanied on the Thank You Visit by Former Ogun State Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Former Anambra State Governor, Mr Peter Obi, PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, Senator Ben Murray Bruce, Senator Sam Anyanwu, Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Austin Opara and Edo State PDP Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih.

According to Great Ejekwu, PDP can win 2019 Presidential Election if they play their game well.

He said certain things need to be put in place for victory to rest on People’s Democratic Party.
Here’s what he said

“If the people's democratic party truly want to takeover power from Apc led govt in this 2019 election they should zone wisely 1) PDP should give a northerner the presidential ticket but make sure the vice presidential ticket goes to the South East that way they can secure South East votes since they have South South/ middle belt then votes will be shared in nothern areas due to the recent defections .....if this doesn't fly ; .
2) PDP should still pick a northerner then the party's Vice Presidential ticket should be given to a woman that way due to a femine candidate they can derive sentiments from a few Nigerians ... Certainly Apc will rig 2019 but PDP has a chance if they play their game well”

Crime / Police Arrest 11 Kidnappers, Recover 1,000 Firearms, 15 Vehicles In Rivers by phcblog: 5:56pm On Jul 25, 2018
The Rivers State Police Command said it has arrested 11 suspected kidnappers, robbers and recovered over 1,000 firearms and 15 vehicles at different locations in the State.

The suspects were Tony Raphael, Ifeanyi Okoye, 42, Chigozie Onirigbo, 28, Emeka Nwaiwu, 37, Chinedu Isia, 32, Clark Sunday, 23, Reward Womuru, Ernest Wali, Ekaenemerem Onyebueyi Onyebueyi, Andrew Atuse (fake corporal) and Uche Ani (an ex-convict).


State Commissioner of Police, Zaki Ahmed, disclosed this, on Tuesday, when he paraded the hoodlums, who were arrested by operatives of Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS), at the command’s headquarters, Moscow Road, Port Harcourt.

Ahmed said the feat was recorded by the command recently, following the directive of the Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris, to mop up illegally acquired firearms in the country and resolve to rid the State of criminal elements.
According to him, the suspects usually operated in Police Van, wore black Jean trousers and T-shirts in Police colours, with Ford Van in Police colour, bearing revolving light.

He said the bandits had confessed to the crime and admitted that they were responsible for several kidnap and robbery operations that took place in Port Harcourt and its environs late 2017, till the time of their arrest this July.

The State Police boss also said that the aggressive sensitization campaigns on fighting crime, which was taken to churches, had yielded a positive result, with some dreaded cultists denouncing their membership and embracing God.
Ahmed noted that the Salvation Ministries took the campaign to the creeks, where suspected cultists willingly surrendered their arms and ammunition, and urged organisations and members of the public to sustain the existing synergy between them and Police.

He assured, “I want to reaffirm our commitment to the fight against crime and criminality in the State and further appeal to the good people of the State to continue to support the Police in our bid to rid the State of all criminal elements”.

Crime / “because Of My Beard, Nice Look And UK Drivers License Sars Dealt With Me” by phcblog: 1:07pm On Jul 24, 2018
“Because of my beard, nice look and UK drivers license and PhD qualification, Sars officers seized my phones, detained and cuffed me"
A victim shared his story on how he was allegedly detained wrongly and robbed off his belongings because he looks young, bearded and was driving a flashy car.
What was his crime? his UK phone was riddled with regular, innocent text messages. The guy has been a flipping resident of the UK for the last 12 years, visiting Nigeria for the first time in 4 years, shown evidences of his residency, UK drivers license, PhD qualifications, Bournemouth University staff lecturer ID and complimentary cards, UK bank/credit cards and even old ATM and POS receipts in his wallet and his crime was, "A Yahoo Boy". Read His Story:
The combination F-SARS and Mobile Policemen around Mandela Car wash in GRA Port Harcourt must have extorted nothing less than N1m yesterday from Road users. I was a victim. I demanded to be arrested and taken to the station for our so-called offenses to be properly documented and treated...of course they vociferously, almost violently and shamelessly refused…they instead demanded ridiculous sums of money from me for my brother to be released.
First of, when my younger brother called to say he had been stopped by some heavily armed men, in less than 5 seconds into that conversation, I heard shouts and obvious distress in the background..it sounded like slaps, next thing, the line cut. The only thing I got from that 5 secs convo was that armed men stopped me somewhere in GRA...Alarmed and not even sure if it was the police or where to look, I drove thru every street in GRA phase 2 & 3 for the next hour. Within that hour, I must have given his both lines over 300 missed calls. Because his lines were still on and no one was picking I concluded dude has been kidnapped seeing that there's no way if it was the police, they won't let him pick his calls to at least let his people know which station to come. At this point, it occurred to me to check every police division around that vicinity. Went to Nkpolu Divisional Police Station,..continue reading on http://www.portharcourtblog.com/2018/07/because-of-my-beard-nice-look-and-uk.html
