I don't think he will do such thing.
Then I am sure you don't know the man called Wike.
Google and confirm related incidences that He had sponsored in the past.
You recall when Amaechi and some members of the then aggrieved PDP governors were stoned in PH?
You recall when some Ogoni people were attacked and killed on their way to meet with Muhammed Buhari during His campaign visit to Ogoniland?
You recall when Wike ordered the army's operation in Yeghe and Bori but turned around to sponsor youths to blame it on a former APC senator from Ogoni by an open protest and several petitions just to stop him from bin reelected?
You recall the several petitions he sponsored against Amaechi including the setting up of the Omereji commission just to stop Amaechi from bin minister?
Wike masterminded all of these
But incase you aren't convinced, then watch out what may happen tomorrow
PoliticsWike Plans To Sponsor Protests Against President Buhari's Visit To Ogoni - Apc by suasmablow(op): 9:29am On Jun 01, 2016
Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has concluded plans to sponsor members of the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, thugs and hoodlums to protest and disrupt the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Rivers State to flag off the UNEP cleanup of Ogoniland on Thursday, 2nd June, 2016.
In a statement signed by Chris Finebone, APC,state publicity Secretary said:”It has also come to our notice that the protesters will disguise as citizens who have been mobilised to give Mr. President a rousing welcome on his visit before they will turn on their protests with placards and dangerous weapons with the singular purpose of embarrassing Mr. President, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Magnus Abe, Dr. Dakuku Peterside and the All Progressives Congress, APC, amongst others.

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria
“Indeed, the APC finds it curious that Governor. Nyesom Wike will claim to mobilise his party members to welcome President Buhari, the same person he has repeatedly spoken about derogatorily in the past. The only reason Governor Wike would engage in his planned subterfuge can only be to score a cheap political point due to his desperation for political advantage in Ogoniland – something way out of his reach under a peaceful atmosphere”.
The party notes that it was solely political desperation that drove the Governor to hurriedly flag-off the dualization of Saakpenwa-Bori-Kono Road last week to deceive Nigerians that Wike cares about Ogoni people after sponsoring militants to kill them.
APC notes however that the fraud behind the Saakpenwa-Bori-Kono Road has been uncovered as the governor deliberately refused to mention that the project is in phases. He also cunningly went silent on the number of kilometres of the road is covered in the phase 1 of the project he flagged off, just to deceive the people of Tai, Gokana, Khana, Opobo/Nkoro and Andoni LGAs.
Accordingly,the “APC urged the governor not to push his luck too far as there will obviously be grave consequences if he insists on over-reaching himself along the line he has chosen as he will be held responsible for any breach of the law, order and further undermining of the fragile peace of the State at this time. But if the governor insists on sponsoring people to disrupt the flag-off with the purpose of embarrassing Mr. President and others, we wish him the best of luck.”

PoliticsOrji Proposes ‘Institute Of Chartered Politicians’ by suasmablow(op): 5:07pm On May 31, 2016
Nigerians beware: chartered politicians are on their way. Whatever that means!‎

Theodore Orji, former governor of Abia state and senator from the central senatorial district, on Tuesday proposed to bring a bill for the establishment of an “institute of chartered politicians” to the senate.

Orji made this proposition while contributing to a debate on an Act to establish the Charte‎red Institute of Management Accountants of Nigeria (CIMAN) sponsored by Barnabas Gemade, a senator from Benue northeast.

According to him, the institute will be for seasoned politicians.

‎”The bill will be for those politicians who have not lost an election, like the senate president,” he said.

However, Orji expressed support‎ for Gemade’s bill which seeks to promote the “practice of the arts and science management accountancy in the federation.”

‎Senate President Bukola Saraki referred the bill for the establishment of CIMAN to the committee on establishment and public service for further legislative action after it passed second reading.

The senate, thereafter, adjourned‎ to Wednesday.

PoliticsAPC Declares Buhari Adopted Son Of Niger Delta by suasmablow(op): 10:34am On May 31, 2016
The All Progressives Congress (APC)
in Rivers State, has declared
President Muhammadu Buhari an
honorary son of the Niger Delta
region, saying that he has in only
one year in office demonstrated his
great love for the region and
determination to fast-track its
development.
The party cited the inclusion of the
Calabar–Lagos rail line and Calabar–
Itu road in the 2016 budget, as well
as the impending Ogoni clean-up
exercise to justify its position that
President Buhari has done enough
within a short while to qualify to be
regarded as a Niger Delta son.
Chairman of APC in the state, Dr.
Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, in a statement
issued in Port Harcourt yesterday,
described the inclusion of the
Calabar – Lagos rail line in the 2016
budget as a demonstration of the
love Buhari has for the Niger Delta
and a measure of his seriousness to
fast-track the development of the
region and arrest unemployment in
the area.
Ikanya said, “The importance of this
singular project towards the general
economic enhancement of the
region and the country at large
cannot be over-emphasised. With
the inclusion of the death trap called
Calabar – Itu road and other projects
of prime benefit to the region in the
2016 budget and the kick-starting of
the Ogoni clean-up exercise in the
next few days.
“The Ogoni clean up, which the past
administrations including the high
corrupt administration of Dr
Jonathan though a son of the region
wickedly and totally ignored, it will
not be out of place therefore if we
declare President Muhammadu
Buhari as a true friend and son of
the Niger Delta region. With this
development, all the efforts of Chief
Wike to frustrate this exercise now
amounts to noting.”
He pointed to the earmarking of N60
billion for the Calabar – Lagos rail
line and N6.6 billion to rehabilitate
the Calabar – Itu Federal Highway, in
addition to the following major
projects in the South-South: the
rehabilitation of Odukpani – Itu –
Ikot Ekpene road in Cross River/
Akwa Ibom states (N6 billion);
construction and installation of 10km
of 33KV line and associated 2x15MVA
33/11KV sub-station at Ibuzor, Delta
State (N360 million).

the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2013
poll in Anambra State and the member
representing Anambra East and West in the

towards that are already ongoing in and outside
Anambra State.
Nwoye said he would soon declare officially for
APC, adding, however, that his immediate
concern is to empower the people of the
constituency, who made it possible for him to be
elected into the House of Representatives.
According to him, many people in the state have
lost confidence in PDP, arguing that their best
alternative is APC, which, he added, is striving to
correct the mistakes of the past federal
administration.

PoliticsOne Year Of The Buhari Presidency: The Challenges by suasmablow(op): 9:12am On May 29, 2016
ONE YEAR OF THE BUHARI PRESIDENCY: THE CHALLENGES

President Muhammed Buhari after several attempts finally became the president of Nigeria as the declaration of results by INEC favoured His party and candidature. Thanks to His demigod nature in the north and the emergence of the APC.
The victory of Mr.Buhari seems to have come at the wrong time as just like in the case of His 1983 period as Head of State, He also emerged at a time of great political, economic and social turbulence for Nigeria. Adding this to the great expectations of Nigerians from the Buhari government that many considered as a godsent and messiahic administration, the only solution was for Buhari to Change into a magician.
Mr. Buhari stated earlier this year that he wished he hadn’t been elected president at a time Nigeria was grappling with severe insecurity and low crude oil prices at the
international markets.
“But I say why me? Why is it that it is
when they have spent all the money, when they made the country insecure that I returned?” Mr. Buhari lamented in a February 5 interview with Al-Jazeera. “Why didn’t I come when the treasury was full? Oil price was over $140 per barrel and when I came, it slipped down to $30. Why me?”
To what appears to have been a disappointment when compared to the many promises of the APC, Buhari has simply failed to become that Hausa/Fulani magician-president. Those of us from the business background will understand how difficult it is to revamp a liquidated firm whose networth has been shared to a group of creditors.
While there is a dare need for patience considering the odd situation of things that Buhari met on ground, I shall sincerely try to x-ray some of the obvious challenges that have confronted the Buhari government so far.

1. Delay In Forming A Cabinet: Having had interest in becoming Nigeria's president for over 12 years and having lived in Nigeria all through, many expected that Buhari should have been in the know about the peculiar challenges of Nigeria and would have at such fully prepared to address them head on immediately He ascends the throne. But this wasn't the case. It took Mr.Buhari over 5 months before finally naming His cabinet. He however claimed he was taking his time to appoint the best.
In hindsight, very few people believe the president’s appointment was worth the time he spent shopping for
them. Some analysts have blamed the late appointments partly for the declining state of the economy.
Given the prolonged fall in oil prices even before the elections, they argue, appointing a top economic team early enough could have helped stabilise the system and
assure investors. The president missed that opportunity.

2. Excessive Foreign Trips: After been sworn in as Nigeria's President, Muhammed Buhari has been heavily criticised over what many called unwarranted junketeering. Thus far, President Buhari has visited over 30 countries.
Of these foreign trips Mr. Buhari made in his first year, hardly did he return from any without dropping a
“bombshell”. While some were inadvertent gaffes, too many others were as deliberate as they were damaging.
The PDP has over the times alleged that Nigeria’s president has travelled to distant lands to castigate his people as “criminals”, “corrupt” and
“unruly” and even urged foreign investors to be wary.
Although a plurality of Nigerian foreign policy analysts have condemned the president for his outbursts, some of his supporters say he was being honest.
While the president continues to market Nigeria in His foreign trips,He must be careful to avoid any statement that some people may consider as a de-market to the image of our country. Apart from this, considering the cost of those foreign trips, it is advisable that Mr.President reviews His foreign engagements in a cost-benefit approach and do away with any foreign engagement in which the benefits don't exceed the cost.

3. The Budget Saga: Given that one of Mr. Buhari’s rallying cries during the campaign was a promise to eliminate waste within his administration and streamline state agencies and parastatals, history has recorded that Mr. Buhari’s first
budget was marred by irregularities–embarrassing and administrative irregularities. It failed to send the much- needed signal to unscrupulous civil servants that a new sheriff was indeed in town. It was a disaster and this could have been avoided if Buhari has not risked his trust for habitually crime-friendly civil servants and law makers. Apart from this, many Nigerians have bitterly complained about the cost of the Aso Rock budget especially amounts budgeted for food, health and other needs of the presidency which in some cases far exceeds that of the previous government or those budgeted for public institutions.

4. Presidential Air Fleet: From a Boeing 737 to choppers, those who should know said there are about 11 aircraft in the presidential air fleet. His campaign assured Nigerians that some of those aircraft would be disposed of if the president won the
elections. Not one has gone yet. Why Mr. Buhari has not sold any of them or even addressed Nigerians on why he couldn’t sell remained unclear. It is absolutely necessary for the President to avoid the unnecessary luxury that cost our country lots of money. He must therefore urgently keep to His words and sell more than half of the presidential air fleet and raise more funds for development.

5. His Perceived Silence On Key Events In The Country: One key statement of the Buhari's inauguration was that "He belongs to everybody...." and this is what a president is supposed to be and do as the entire country is his constituency. However, Mr.Buhari has received several knocks over his silence on key issues that affect Nigerians. Many have criticised the president for not issuing immediate statements condemning recent attacks like that of the Boko Haram, herdsmen killings in Agatu and other southern communities. But the president was swift in condemning terrorist attacks in Paris, Brussels, Grand-Bassam and elsewhere.
Similarly, Mr. Buhari hardly speaks to local media. From when he would name his ministers (in U.S.) to how he won’t let the central bank devalue (in Paris) the president has made most of the key pronouncements abroad.
Talking to local media would have helped him better understand and gauge public opinion.
The President must show the required sensitivity and attach priority to addressing our local media especially on our local issues.

6. Votes Determining Development Benefits: The ethnic and tribal sentiments that have for long been a
feature of Nigeria’s elections were palpable in the outcome of the 2015 general elections. The results showed that while the people of the north embraced Mr. Buhari in large numbers, those in the south-south and south-east overwhelmingly voted to keep “their own” in
office.
Notwithstanding, a plurality of Nigerians had expected that the president would govern fairly and inclusively in order to heal whatever wound the election may have left
behind.
Alas, there’s little evidence to show that Mr. Buhari did this. Instead, he began by appointing mainly northerners to the consternation of even those who were amongst his
staunchest allies. Mr. Buhari appointed dozens of aides in the first weeks of his administration without ceding any of the positions to the southeast.
Asked how he intended to implement an inclusive development of the south-south, Mr. Buhari delved into
the results of the elections, speaking of how the limited support he received from the area would certainly reflect in his government’s policies and programmes to them.
When pressed on the consistent complaints of marginalisation by the South-East,, a visibly irritated
president asked in his maiden media chat on December 30, 2015: “What do the Igbos want?”
As we mark the first year of this administration, Mr.President must ensure that He kills any unnecessary feeling of marginalisation by any part of our country by giving a sense of belonging to every body and respecting the principles of federal character in His appointments. As only this can influence the fortunes of His party in the southern part of the country.

7. Disclosure of Assets: Since 1999, Nigerian leaders have always kept the issue of their asset declarations in secrecy. We have had cases of under-declaration which negates the relevant laws guiding public officials in our country. But hope beckoned with the coming of this administration. Mr. Buhari is arguably the first-ever Nigerian leader that
was elected into office on the perceived strength of his character as a conviction politician that could decisively deal with corruption —Nigeria’s worst bane.
To further convince Nigerians that he was, indeed, a frugal and incorruptible man, Mr. Buhari, in one of his speeches, said he would publicly declare his assets upon
assumption of office. He also said he would prevail on his appointees to do the same.
Shortly after his swearing in, Nigerians began demanding copies of Mr. Buhari’s assets declaration documents as submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau. And the president began prevaricating about the matter immediately.
At first, he released a statement claiming to have fulfilled his public assets declaration vow on June 6, 2015. That turned out to be misleading. Mr. Buhari only submitted his assets declaration form to the CCB as every government official is mandated to do.
Under intense public pressure, the president released a statement enumerating his assets and those of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. The statement was at best imprecise, with no clear details of listed assets. It failed to provide addresses of landed of properties, vehicle models, assets of spouse and children as required by law, and more. The presidency assured those details would be available to every Nigerian once they were verified by the Code of Conduct Bureau.
The bureau has since done so, but Mr. Buhari still refuses to come entirely clean on how much he is worth, even though the Ahmed Joda transition committee advised that immediate public declaration of assets would be a “quick win” for Messrs. Buhari and Osinbajo.
Questioned during a presidential media chat in 2015, a visibly itchy president questioned why he was singled out, from amongst the governors and other political
leaders.
Till date, the president has failed to disclose his assets by sending the photocopies of what he submitted to CCB to the media, as former President Umaru Yar’Adua did.
Our President must in line with protecting His integrity make His asset declaration public and also seriously compel His ministers to do same. This will be another way of ensuring His anti-corruption war begins from the within.

8. General Insecurity: Despite been a former military head of state, the Buhari government has suffered from great internal security challenges thus far with the security agencies virtually been unable to proactively handle the situations. The insecurity has been posed by Boko Haram/, Fulani herdsmen, Armed robbers, Niger Delta Militants and secessionist movements like Biafra's IPOB and MASSOB, Cultists, Kidnappers and Cattle rustlers. The government must therefore take the security of lives and property seriously by tackling these security challenges head on as this will ensure the stability of the country and confidently attract more investors.

9. The Judiciary And Perceived Disobedience To Court Orders: The judiciary under the Buhari administration has been criticised mightily for her actions; from the decisions emanating from the 2015 electoral petitions to her controversial judgements. Even in its fight against corruption the Judiciary has been acting in ways that shows that she is directly or indirectly supporting corruption and corrupt individuals. This had led to the probe and subsequent sanctioning of some Judges. Apart from this, a section of Nigerians had come hard on the president over what they call his disobedience to court orders especially those relating to corrupt individuals. Importantly, the president must ensure that He fights corruption within the ambit of the law and avoids sectionalising his corruption war or targeting just a particularly party or group. He must also take serious steps aimed at removing bad eggs from the Judiciary and ensure her independence.

10. INEC And Elections So Far: After the 2015 polls, elections conducted under President Buhari have become violent, fraudulent, inconclusive and generally controversial. Many INEC officials have been fingered for corrupt practices, yet none has been punished accordingly. This is ofcourse affecting the global stance of how democracy is faring in Nigeria and Africa at large. Ahead of the 2019 polls, President Buhari must ensure that INEC is overhauled, necessary electoral reforms are put in place and citizens/political parties are properly reorientated to ensure peaceful polls.

Yes there may be more challenges confronting this government than I have highlighted here, but the challenges are ofcourse surmountable, therefore Nigerians must give the government the required support to ensure she keeps to her promises and makes our country great again.

Happy Democracy Day To All My Esteemed Friends.

PoliticsCourt Orders Alamieyeseigha And Wife To Vacate Property In Bayelsa by suasmablow(op): 6:17pm On May 27, 2016
The Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has ordered the late former Governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieseigha, and his wife, Margaret, to vacate a piece of land measuring 5336.919 square metres at Ovom area of the state.

The court order is contained in a judgement delivered by Justice Theresa Ngolika Orji-Abadua in an appeal instituted by Stodie Ventures Limited against Alamieyeseigha and his wife, Margaret.

The late former governor and his wife are enmeshed in several cases of alleged land grabbing, including a dispute involving a choice parcel of land located at the Government Reserved Area layout along Otiotio Road in Yenagoa metropolis.

Stodie is a company owned by Dr. Bolere Ketebu, former President of the National Council of Women Society, former Nigeria’s Ambassador to Ireland and erstwhile member of the House of Representatives.

The case was filed for the firm by Mr. Doueyi Fiderikumo, the Managing Solicitor, D.D. Fiderikumo & Co.

The company had dragged Alamieyeseigha and his wife to court in a 2011 suit filed in the state High Court challenging their occupation of the said land and praying the court to declare it (Stodie) the rightful owner of the land.

Stodie also prayed the court to restrain the late former governor and his wife, their servants and agents from committing further act of trespass on the parcel of land and demanded N100m damages for trespass.

But in 2012, the High Court dismissed the suit on the grounds that Stodie failed to prove its case by credible evidence as required of it by law.

But the company filed a notice of appeal on March 29, 2012 asking the court to set aside the judgement of the lower court and to uphold its prayers.

The appeal court panel comprising Justice Theresa Ngolika Orji-Abadua, Justice Stephen Adah and Justice Bitrus Sanga, declared that the trial court erred in its judgement.

A copy of the judgement which was read by Orji-Abadua said, “It is thoroughly reprehensible that the first defendant who was the governor of Bayelsa State as of the time the said compulsory acquisition was made seemingly for an overriding public interest, later allocated the said land to himself and his wife, who was then First Lady of Bayelsa State.

“No government or individual has any right to acquire land compulsorily and alienate or transfer it to another private individual or body for his or its private use.

“I would rather say in passing that the purpose for which the government can compulsorily acquire lands are clearly defined in the Act and do not include acquisition for the purpose of making a grant to a third party.”

The Justice noted that the respondents (late Alamieyeseigha and his wife) made no efforts to join the state government as a party and were unable to prove that the compulsory acquisition complied with all the relevant laws.

But Fiderukumo said the family of the deceased former governor has yet to comply with the judgement, noting that there were no records to show that Margaret (Alamieyeseigha’s wife) took the matter to the Supreme Court.

He said they had written to the police seeking their assistance in the execution of the Appeal Court’s judgement.

Even if PMB dies today, how will that help the fortunes of the PDP?
The good thing remains the PMB's messiach goodwill and the emergence of the APC ended the Sodomic enslavement of Nigeria under the PDP

Should I copy the radio reports on this and paste it here before it will suit your appetite.
Anyway,kindly exercise some patience, I am sure the print media you trust will hopefully reflect this in their news tomorrow

op i understand your concern but the loan is the federal govt. bailout which is to be used to pay pensioneers, you know that the bailout has to go through CBN approval and there is no way it can be ready for convention. This is to say that the purpose is not for the convention as you tactically claimed.
I respect your opinion sir, but the truth is that, He takes the cash from other sources and repays later when the loan is finally secured.
Most importantly, isn't it shameful that an oil rich state and the 2nd Nigerian state with a high IGR is also collecting federal bailout?
He has borrowed over N50Billion before, what did He use those ones for? Did He forget Pensioners then? I can assure you that this N10Billion will finish, yet you will still hear that Rivers Pensioners haven't been paid.
Gov.Wike may soon borrow Rivers State into Slavery.

This your source can be identified as fraud
Keep inflicting ignorance on yourself. We live in a global sphere. No falsehood can easily be spread without been ascertained. I wish you had made any effort to check other free sources to confirm before ranting to accuse people of fraud. Perhaps is this the first time you are hearing of Gov.Wike taking frivolous loans?

Ahead of the PDP National Convention (the faction holding in Port Harcourt), the Rivers State House of Assembly today hurriedly approved yet another 10 billion NAIRA loan for
Governor Nyesom Wike, barely two months after it approved loan of same amount, bringing the. total loan since 29th of May, 2015 when Wike was sworn-in to a whooping 70-80 billion naira!
Welcome to the New Rivers State!
Let Louis XIII flow like river!

Biggest lie from the pit of hell
What's the lie about here?
PoliticsBreaking News: Buhari, Wike In Crucial Closed Door Meeting by suasmablow(op): 3:36pm On May 16, 2016
Daily Trust reports that President Buhari is
currently in a closed door meeting with
Gov.Nyesom Wike.
I am just wondering what could be the main crux
of this August meeting and at whose invitation.
Anyway, I am sure many Rivers APC supporters
and members won't like this meeting
considering all the troubles and sorrows
Gov.Wike has caused them, but President Buhari
is simply so good, nice, friendly and
accommodating than I expected considering all
the evil propaganda the PDP sponsored about
Him during the presidential campaigns.
I am sure none of the 2015 presidential hopefuls
would have been this nice on various suspecting
issues.
Hate Buhari if you like but obviously it seems the
man likes us all.
