ARMOURED HELICOPTERS : GOVERNOR WIKE REVEALS THAT RSG WROTE TO FG TO HAND THEM OVER TO NAF

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has revealed that he officially wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari asking that the two armoured helicopters bought by the immediate past administration in the state .be handed over to the Nigerian Air Force.

He explained that he wrote the letter following the high custom duty charged for the helicopters and the refusal of the present administration to grant the Rivers State Government the waiver to clear the two armoured helicopters.

A statement issued by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor on Electronic Media informed that the governor spoke during an interview with editors of Sun Newspapers Titles on Saturday in Port Harcourt.

The governor said that it was unfortunate that Security Agencies would resort to political propaganda and outright lies, when the facts of the two armoured helicopters are public knowledge.

He said: "These helicopters were imported by the immediate past administration. When I assumed office,we wrote to the Federal government that it was strictly for security use. What am I going to use armoured helicopters for?

"In any case, where will the Rivers State Government get money at this time to import armoured helicopters. The previous administration imported it because they had the money.

"I went to to the Federal Government to give me a waiver for us to clear the helicopters, but the Federal Government refused.

"I wrote a letter to the President and to assure him that the helicopters are meant for security purposes, it should be handed over to the Nigerian Air Force ".

The governor added: "I am surprised that they have started propaganda and political falsehood on the said armoured helicopters. What kind of country are they turning Nigeria into ?

"We stated that we cannot pay the custom duties because the helicopters are not for commercial use. They are to be used to monitor the creeks and track criminals.

"I wrote to the President to give the helicopters to the Airforce. It is shocking that the custom would turn around to claim that they inpounded the helicopters. The Chief of Staff to the President admitted that I have done well when I wrote the letter to the President ".

It will be recalled that the immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi in December 2012 announced the payment of two helicopters for security surveillance.

APC & Propaganda...

APC likes propaganda,it was even Amaechi that ordered it during his tenure and it was received when Wike assumed power,but was never cleared due to politics.

Corruption Fighting Back CFB. More details latter.

APC have finished Nigeria with lies

This APC administration is a bitter one and also very devilish. So selfish that they don't care what any of their actions causes the Nation.

What a shame! Smh

customs don join the lying train oh....which way my people??

If all these documented evidence went down,why did they make it sound like a criminal imported the choppers?Can someone spend over 9 billion naira on choppers without knowledge of the requisite documentation for importation?This Apc government is beginning to pissed me off with their propaganda...

Just the same way GEJ refused Ameachi to fly the one he bought before these for political reason ba? But why would Ameachi always order for planes which is not small money?

If all these documented evidence went down,why did the Nigeria customs service make it sound like a militant imported the choppers?Can someone spend over 9 billion naira on choppers without knowledge of the requisite documentation for importation?This Apc government is beginning to piss me off with their propaganda...

While wike an Obese inciter of violence with blood of innocents on his hands words should be taken with a pinch of salt.... the case presented seems congent... it will br very wrong if the Customs officials received this correspondence and communicated a totally different message.

Will it kill Buhari govt to say the truth for once, just imagine how they tensed up the country by claiming unknown persons tried to smuggle armored helicopters into the country when they know the complete history of the said helicopters ...Anyone trusting this govt does so at his own peril

The way APC lies ehn, you'll have a sneaky feeling that Nigeria as presently ruled is indeed a branch office of hell fire if not hell itself. Someone askee here yesterday or so if the customs couldn't track the importers of something as massive and delicate as military helicopters. Those with an idea of shipping business especially from abroad knew the customs were stinking liars which they would have learnt from uncle Lie Mohammed. The reason I support PDP and other parties with integrity is that when they talk, they talk with proof, look at the documents that were released by Wike but trust APC zombies to still find a way to discredit even at the risk of their limited intelligence. Its well

So why wouldn't APC simply say the Helicopters were donated by Wike?

Okay, i see. Wike should be demonized and any such approval of his good works should never be acknowledged.

Real association of party criminals.

Lie lie Governor
Amaechi bought those helicopters for pipe line surveillance but the vindictive ineffectual Buffon GEJ refused to release them.

Wike came on board and tried to collect them and was asked to pay the demurage and due to his lack of vision decided to forfeit it to FG

Just the way he refused to acknowledge Amaechi so also is the FG not acknowledging him.

... APC is a ponzi scheme. built on lying foundation only to deceive and steal the brains of gullible Nigerians. but unfortunately ponzi schemes don't always last long.

The guy above me need serious flogging

I can't wait for 2019. the poster above should be beheaded

Chai Apc government the devil still dey learn work, where una dey!!! Lairs

Look at where we are

The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant. - Maximilien Robespierre

Believe this APC government at your own peril. They are hell bent on destroying everything Nigeria stands for.
I have never seen a government that lies the way this APC government can.
With the way they are currently telling us lies, I would not be surprised if they tell us tomorrow that el rufai is the president.
With the way Apc's mouth piece is set up, it will take only God's intervention for us to know the truth about anything they do.

Wike is lying.

It is not the job of Rivers State to fly air raids or patrol border for national assets. At the moment that job belongs to FG.

This cannot be the first shipment of armoured equipments into the country. If under Buhari's administration of scrutiny, and one in which the Director of Customs himself is a hawkeye, they can attempt to smuggle in armoured airships you can imagine under Jonathan and with an Ibo at the helm of affairs in Customs how many dangerous and counter-security equipments has been brought in under cover.

If we had not changed administration who would have uncovered the massive corruption going on with Diezani Maduekwe and Ngozi Iweala with funding from Dasuki's security allocations? The revelation about this chopper and saying it was imported under previous administration goes to say that EFCC need to sniff the ground thoroughly, they might unvover that the trail of heavy machinery and sophisticated weaponries found in bokoharam arsenals were channelled through access using money laundering syndicates based in SS/SE.

Recall that Jonathan had taken sea and coastal waters patrol and security away from Navy and contracted national security to a private company owned by Tompolo and ex-militants who then started importing military vessels and hardwares from abroad. The Ports Authority Director was a SS man, the Maritime Agency was an SS man, DSS was headed by SS woman, Customs was filled with Ibos, so it was all a tight arrangement for the syndication to succeed with zero oversight from NSA who was busy disbursing millions and billions to every d1ck Jack and Harry.

The current administration is not working well to relieve people of hardships but when it comes to national security Jonathan was a good riddance, thanks to Yoruba for supporting his replacement.

Karma is a slutty b!tch. This ar d security planes that amaechi bought and gej and wike stoped him 4rom using it. So now wike want to use them

APC is evilz, they want to make it look like we're preparing for war

What is happening in the country?

For the past one month every single news published on media is always denied the next day or two.

---

We have destroy camp zero and defeated Boko Haram.
Next day: Shekau escape and they are regrouping - Army

IG visit Buhari
Next day: I never left the country - IG

Custom impound two armored helicopter
Next day: They were handed over to the Airforce

and many more

NCS are lying about the owner of the chopper?


Unless NCS dispute the fact that is laid down by wike....

How can a consignment with shippers and consignee address, that also include purchased invoice or FORM M and also as PAAR not have a owner. Col ALLI should say somthing else to us.... #Istandwithwikeonthis#
