His right on this sir....
Trump respects the state governors in the United States of America why not in Nigeria?

Nwodosis:
Is Wike not right on this? They are just after the oil and care not about the people that Wike governs!

Greyworld:


your university just sent a refund. 100% and 30% extra as interest.

How shallow You are..... For the Carvelton pilots... They head company at America had to plead to state before they were released......

It's high time Africa purge themselves from people like You who keeps thinking that we are secondary to the Westerners

Osagyefo98:
Nuisance of a governor

Ass licker of a boy!!

Nwodosis:
Is Wike not right on this? They are just after the oil and care not about the people that Wike governs!

Sir, let's think about this. Do you think these multinationals are not careful or they are not taking precautions? Do you believe that they are not aware of the current situation?

The thing is, Nigeria cannot afford to shut down the oil sector because it is where the large chunk of funds come from. I believe that a great percent or all the allocations given to states is from this sector.

Come to think of it, If the FG shuts down this sector, how many governors will be able to pay salaries since they all depend on money from the centre.

muhammad4islam:


There is no need for any analysis yeah. He is clearly against the Federal Government of Nigeria at the expense of River people. You are lucky we are more in a democratic era right from yar'dua regime, Jonathan upto buhari regime. If it is obasanjo he could have humble himself. He forgot that the F.G. can take the state from his hand by simple state of emergency. They are bigger issues that y the F.G. is trading quietly. I am not a fan of the F.G. but what the river governor is doing is disrespectful. Just imagine a local government dictating to the state governor. I think he need to be brain check

I bet You He can't.... Unless the FG wants to kill half of the population in Rivers.... This was a man that because the election results were rigged people resulted to killing and destroying properties just for Him.. How much talk of impeachment.. That wouldn't be an option

Joxiba:


How can ExxMobil be bigger than Africa....Does the company have all the crude found in Africa soil? Oga think now!

You need to find out if she actually has a brain, before you can now ask her to think with it na...you don't go to a desert and expect to see a shark..

Diamondpen:
I stopped commenting on Nairaland months ago due to some unruly kids who throw insult at their father's age-grade simply because they disagreed with the person's viewpoint.
My opinion on this matter: For those of you who are already seeing Wike as being bold and possibly local champion, bet it with me, he would soon reverse himself as we are already used to him and his policy somersault.
Wike suddenly tuned to Rivers peoples' boy, kindly ask him which rivers people was he referring to? The same rivers people he risked their lives by holding PDP state congress when Lagos was already battling with Covid-19. Where was he when police killed Chima and detained others extra judicially under his wash and uptill now he refused to make comment over the issue.
If you think Wike love Rivers people you need to rethink again as he only loves money and power. He would not even take a quarter of insults he throws to the presidency and traditional rulers from any of his subordinates.
If Rivers state government or Federal Government can take half of measures taken by the same oil companies he is disturbing up and down we would have been doing well in our fight against the virus.
Bottom line is that he wants his share of Covid-19 money from federal government and also wants oil companies to donate money to Rivers state government in respect of Covid-19 fight.

Companies in Rivers state are being sent letters demanding donations to the state government

CoronaVirusPro:


You have chop ban again

New account.

udemzyudex:


How? You think if he stops Rivers state allocation that will affect wike personally?

Even if he stop it now,it doesn't mean Rivers state won't collect it in the nearest future if another government takes over or even take FG to court.

For him to speak this it shows he has nothing the FG can use against him so what are you saying?
He doesn't have the right to protect his state?

He can't even dare to stop Rivers allocation without a reason.....this is wike he is fighting with o...He should try it and see how crude pipelines will be erupting like volcano....so dat if Rivers will not get their allocation from money coming from their own oil, then no more oil flow....or he thinks wikes boys Ateke, Asari and co are all dead.

yinkson:


He's very unprofessional and lacks manners!
He's not qualified to be a leader not to talk of governor of a state.

Imagine him making comment about winning in2015 and 2019, chai! What an hypocrite!
Well...that's is African magic all the way

Is that not the truth.. Did He rig as Buhari did??
He just wants to make Buhari know that there are people who He can't intimidate

Nyamuriflathead:
Weed Smoking, Tobacco sniffing and coccaine licking governor. Always hyperactive and hyperventing

And was he making reference to the South East governors when he alluded that some governors were going to pay homage to Buhari For favors? how kom there's no vocal governor like wike in the whole of south east?

Like for cowardice Share for Respect

For doing the right thing and allso speaking out his mind?
You think all governors worship buhari even some APC governors.

Rivers people are in support of wike on this, this FG want to increase the covid 19 cases in the state

Winke hasn't grow up at all...

Am not accusing u for saying u are protecting people as u acclaimed...but chai!

I read thru d statements u made and I ask myself: Could this be a governor speaking or an unskilled councillor.

Sorry to say: Winke you are too local and highly educated-illiterate.

You are not diplomatic at all..and I don't think you understand d position u sat on. Governorship seat is a distinguished one...but I can see we have an advanced taut here... mtchewww..

You are shouting u are protecting ur people...u just seeking unnecessary pity.. unnecessary attention that doesn't speak well of a person in that position...

It's a good picture/indication that u don't deserve that position, "IN A SANE WORLD".

But, here in Naija anybody (even a goat) can become governor as long as he can criminally acquire fund and use to buy thugs with weapons and carry ballot papers..

That's why we see criminals in authority.

What a shame?

Shizzyguy:
"Winke" is just doing all these for optics sake. Nothing special about his speech. Over 50% of confirmed Covid-19 cases alone are in Lagos so it is normal that there would be a lot of focus there. Lagos is more susceptible to higher cases of Covid-19 than any other state in Nigeria if not properly managed because of its population. The same "Winke" relaxed restrictions for religious gatherings last week and quickly reversed it after most of the religious bodies in the state still advised their members to stay home. One thing we will realize after this is that Governance is beyond building roads and bridges so that everyone sees and clap for your or nickname you Mr. Projects. Roads are important so is a working healthcare system and many others.

It's a clear indication He listesn to His people... He felt t was good for Christians to celebrate Easter but said No... So as good leader He had to go with what they wanted.... Can You say dat for Your President.... Does He have You at heart

EjaikreTheViper:
wike is the man. buhari is a fool

You're a frustrated soul. Asslicking wike, asif he's better than other politicians?

gare2510:
We need money to continue to tackle Covid 19, these guys are essential oil workers to ensure continuity of oil production. I hope by the time they all down tools both the federal and state governments are unable to pay salaries join the lockdown we will continue to hail Wike. Sooner or later the oil companies will begin moving out of Port Harcourt then the state will have a good old days story like Warri. A word is enough.

He didn't say they shouldn't work but let them follow procedure as slated by the State.. Is Buhari not aware dat Rivers in on lock down.. So is it a crime to notify Him before the worked arrive

What a shame?

Fu...ck political correctness in issues that deal with lives (or health).

Coldie:

U insulted the elected Governor of rivers state with such degrading words, but if somebody insults Tinubu or Buhari u start wailing... Mumu

Tinubu and Buhari re 10 times greater than wike? Who's wike

Corrinthians:
When they want to get into one of their dirty fights, they always try to use the people to form a wall of defence around themselves.

Hear him sound as though he even takes orders from the peoples representatives in the state - the traditional rulers whom he insults to their face, and the state assembly that is nonexistent.

I wish Buhari is half as brutal as Mama Peace, Wike would have been taught some good manners.

Thank you jare. Wike is an audio governor. Always seeking for attention with his ego bloated rants. And I trust Buhari, he no get his time, no be people like wike go dey give baba headache.

asiga:
A man under whose watch primary health care centers and general hospitals are all empty and decaying is ready to protect Rivers people with his blood because COVID-19 is here.

Clear proof You know nothing

Well, the FG is considering is the river people, if it is OBJ nothing concern him with the river people he just execute. OBJ use some military tactics during his democratic regime. But I am telling you this is not the buhari we all know. When I said we need younger blood in power; someone we come and say we need experience. Let me tell you experience is underrated in polities. Old men are just not good for Nigeria politics that's all.

i vividly remember his buddy Fayose chest beating while in office, and before political immunity go finish.
today, total silence.

I can see some demented igbos hailing wike saying he gats guts only because he attacks buhari.. The same igbos that were cursing him, calling him all sorts of name on wedsday when he said d robbers tormenting rivers comes from anambra. Smh

At the bolded. This is exactly my point. These companies don't joke with safety. And people don't want to look at this part.

lets settle this issue once and for all. LIKE FOR WIKE SHARE FOR BUBU

Dmano:
pls can you show any where in the constitution where the president has power to suspend an elected Governor of a State

Is just majority carry the vote before the constitution will be interpreted the damage have been done. It just mere politics. This is one power the GCFR has. If he want.

OBJ wouldn't have been acting dumb as Buhari is..If OBJ is in power it wouldn't had escalated as this... I agree with You old men are not just thinking.... Imagine excluding some states from National sharing policy saying they are not poor there

Oh, shut it!

To you, all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others

For the federal government to declare state of emergency, there must be compelling reason for that

Don't forget you are dealing with Niger Delta

You think it's Abia State where soldiers will go, mess up and come out

Just one instruction from Wike, the militants will regroup and start setting the pipelines on fire

Of course, Nigeria will start counting her losses

Don't shut it down but respect the state and follow protocol... Is that too hard?? ...inform Him before their arrival

They will use federal might to suspend a seating governor?

backbone503:


When PMB react now, na dis same una go call am "General", " dictator " and all sorts.

Wike asked a question.

He said, "Is any oil company operating right now in USA under their own lockdown" ?

How can you claim lockdown and the rich are moving about while the poor stay indoors ?

Knowing how contagious this sickness is.

E be like say cobwebs don coronize una brain.
