Gov. Nyesom Wike Bans Pro-biafra Protests In Rivers State (Video) by OtunbaJega: 6:10am On Nov 11, 2015 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD5ulsD8D6A The Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday banned protests by “some unauthorised group” calling for the release of the director of a pirate radio station, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. In a state broadcast, Mr. Wike banned all forms of street protests, demonstrations, rallies or unlawful gatherings associated with the agitations for the secession of any group from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “For the second time within a month individuals and groups purporting to represent the indigenous people of Biafra have held unauthorized protests on the streets in Port Harcourt. “Majority of these individuals have come from neighbouring states and in the course of these protests, disrupted social and economic activities, damaged properties, assaulted and inflicted injuries on other citizens going about their lawful endeavours. “While individuals and groups are free to exercise their freedom of expression, they must do so peacefully and strictly within the bounds of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “No individual or group has the right, whatsoever, to disturb public peace and order, threaten the safety of the public and create fear and an atmosphere of insecurity in the state or any part thereof. “The right of any group of persons to agitate for their perceived rights cannot be allowed to infringe on the rights of other Nigerians, especially the people of Rivers State to remain an integral component of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. [b]“Our government was elected on a mandate, and has sworn to an oath, to defend the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Therefore, the Rivers State Government will not fold its arms and allow members of the indigenous people of Biafra or any other group to turn the State or any part thereof into a hotbed of unlawful protests against the unity and peaceful co-existence of the various peoples and ethnic groups within the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “Consequently, after due consultations with the members of the State Security Council, and in exercise of my constitutional responsibility to preserve the safety, security and corporate integrity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is hereby ordered that all forms of street protests, demonstrations, rallies or unlawful gatherings associated with the agitations for the secession of any group from the Federal Republic of Nigeria are banned in Rivers State. “Any person or group who violates this ban or acts in any manner prejudicial to the interest of peace and security would be arrested and prosecuted. [/b] “While we commend the security agencies for their maturity in handling the situation foisted on us, I call on the people and residents of Rivers State to be more vigilant and report any further activities that threaten public peace, order, safety and security to any of the law enforcement agencies for immediate action. “Finally, let no one be in doubt of the resolve of the Rivers State Government and the security agencies to maintain law and order at all cost within the State and preserve the unity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “Thank you. God bless Rivers State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the governor said in the broadcast. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/192971-gov-wike-bans-biafra-protests-in-rivers.html 1 Like 1 Share |

These people called the biafrans that are protesting and disturbing the peace of NIGERIA, sometimes i wonder if they dont reason or they have all been brainwashed, why would anyone call for the seperation of NIGERIANS, common sense will know that NIGERIA is strong as one, we are been feared by other african countries, we are the giants of Africa and nobody can stop us, we are united in music, movies, sports and otherwise, all the protesters and their leader should be arrested and charge to court for disturbing the peace of the nation, BUHARI is our president, Abuja is our capital and that is final, i am a NIGER deltan and what we want is one NIGERIA, i hope all the gorvernors in the east can ban all this peace breakers, IN ONE NIGERIA I BELIEVE, GOD BLESS BUHARI, GOD BLESS JONATHAN AND GOD BLESS NIGERIA. 4 Likes |

Wike why? But Nnamdi Kanu needs 'Igwuocha' seriously fa. In another news, Nigerian army politician has decimated the activities of IPOB boys and recovered 'Igwuocha' to the Nigerian state. Wike for president 2023! |

Highly commendable move Sir Wike. Whilst I recognize the right to freedom of expression by any group as guaranteed in the constitution, the rationale behind that provision becomes defeated when such expression distorts the peaceful coexistence of the general public. Apparently, the protests thus far by my biafran friends have been distorting the peace of Rivers State. True federalism, not secession, is the most realistic way forward my biafran friends 3 Likes |

sammyj: Some of you don't understand that politics shouldn't come in in matters like this. I am fully in alignment with Barr Nyesom Wike. I believe that Biafran agitators will be most heard if they occupy their five states capitals and Abuja. But the agitators are instead moving from states to states to constitute nuisance to a section of Portharcourt. 5 Likes |

Why do they stopped protesting in Onitsha, Enugu, Abakaliki, Umuahia and other core Igbo cities? There is a sinister motive for turning PHC into the hotbed of their protest. |
