RIVERS STATE GOVERNMENT DECLARES CARVETON HELICOPTER PERSONA NON GRATA

•directs Local Government Council Chairmen to close all Carveton Helicopters Offices in the state

For endangering the lives of Rivers people by its suspicious operations, the Rivers State Government has declared Carveton Helicopters, Persona Non Grata in the state.

In a State Broadcast on Wednesday, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike directed Local Government Council Chairmen to close the Offices of Carveton Helicopters across the state.

He said: "We appreciate the need to protect business interests andoperations in the State and we will do whatever that is required to ensure that no business is unduly affected by the measures we have taken to combat the Coronavirus.

"However, we shall not welcome businesses or companies that value their business activities or profit more than or in clear disregard of the lives and health of our people.

"By its actions Calverton Helicopters have clearly shown that Rivers lives do not matter to it. It is an enemy of Rivers people and is hereby declared persona non grata in Rivers State.

"With this declaration Calverton Helicopters can only chose to operate in any part of Rivers State at its own risk as Local Government Chairmen have been directed to close their offices and prevent their operations."

Governor Wike said that the highly insensitive and provocative actions of Calverton Helicopters took place in the midst of credible intelligence reports about plans by enemies of the state to traffic carriers of the dreaded Coronavirus into the State.

He said: "Their morbid intention is to create panic by pushing up the infection rate and rubbish the robust measures we have since put in place to cut off the spread of the virus and keep our State and our citizens safe and secure from the ravaging pandemic.

" As expected, and required by our laws, the crew and the passengers on board that ill-fated helicopter were promptly arrested by the law enforcement personnel and are being prosecuted before our courts in line with our COVID 19 Declarations and Containment Orders.

"Calverton Helicopters claimed to have gotten permits from some federal agencies to fly passengers into the State , which never bordered to take the State Government into confidence in issuing such permits in violation of our laws and containment orders.

"While federal agencies reserve the right to issue flight permits to airline operators to fly into Rivers State, we insist that the State Government must equally be informed and taken intoconfidence in the process.

"This the only way to avoid suspicion, conflicts of interests and unnecessary bickering between the State and Federal Governments in our collective efforts to combat the spread of COVID 19 in the country."

Governor Wike added: "Let me reiterate that for us, COVID 19 in Rivers State is a matter of life and death, and we will never succumb to any blackmail from any person, institution or authority in our determination to protect our citizens and our State from the spread of this deadly virus.

"Since we triggered the law on Calverton Helicopters, we have seen and read all sorts of hilarious and frivolous comments, particularly on social media, questioning the propriety of our actions against the carrier and its passengers

"At this time and under the present situation, nothing; Irepeat; nothing, is more important to us than to safeguard thelives and wellbeing of our citizens no matter the cost, and we shall spare no efforts to achieve this singular most fundamental objective of our Government."

The Rivers State Governor said that the action of Calverton Helicopters when they conveyed passengers of doubtful Coronavirus status into the State was in flagrant violation of the State Government’s total restriction on flights into Port Harcourt.

"We have sworn to protect the lives and advance the wellbeing our people, and nothing can stop us from taking all necessary steps to prevent or stop any person, action or activities that would endanger the lives of our citizens," he said.

You feel you can fight state government because of few phone numbers you have in Abuja.

Your business will cripple and you will lose...


Instead of apologising for the conduct, you as a private establishment wants to tell the state government that you have phone numbers in Abuja..

Who will create the conducive environment if not the same state government...


1999 constitution needs to be scrapped and shreds Into pieces...

The paper called constitution is a hindrance to meaningful development...

Wike my guy, pepper them. There's a reason they call you Wike the Wicked.

This is a poorly written/edited statement. Simeon Nwakaudu should be relieved of his duties because he is clearly incompetent. He was probably in one beer parlour and was ordered to write a statement at short notice, in spite of his inebriation.

The quality of 'short notice' outputs indicates competence, or the lack thereof. The use of the word 'hilarious' in the statement is stupid.

I'm embarrassed on the Rivers State Government's behalf. "never bordered" indeed.

Is amaechi the owner?


They fkk'd up.
In situations like this, don't bypass the number one citizen of the land because u have federal might.

Las las dey go settle but clear message have been passed.

You lack adequate reasoning

Bunkum and balderdash

Effort in futility.

Even if you close all their offices, it doesn't stop them from flying to and fro Rivers State.

In a world where transactions are now completed online, who walks into the office.

I don't even know the office of any airline in the entire world.

please when the powers that be comes hard on Wike, don't claim marginalization. There are exclusive lists which Wike have no power to control. This guy is just power drunk and we all know how Buhari can disregard rule of law when he wants to discipline someone. Ask NK,ask dasuki

Wike the real guy






I still remain Ada ogwashi

Caverton is foolish for trying to fight the state government.

The state government owns all the land within its boundary and any
business that wants to succeed must obey state rules and regulations.

All Caverton management should have done is submit the manifest of its passengers for
proper testing and quarantine but they refused because they feel too big.

Which powers that has to be pls.

It is well o!!

Xisnin:
Caverton is foolish.

Tell us why

That helicopter company deserves what they get. Arrant nonsense.

SMH

None of those you mentioned have immunity.

Even with a kangaroo court, he can do nothing to Wike.

So they have FG approval to fly into Rivers but when the pandemic escalates in Rivers, the state government will blamed
An Enterprise like Caverton should be working with the state government where they operate to ensure this virus is well contained so it doesn't escalates, instead they are breaking the rules of the state; if you can't help them, why break their rules?
lockdown doesn't apply only to land borders, but air and water are involved.

Always, always a bad experience being caught in a crossfire or being a hapless victim of transferred aggression.

I do not envy Management of Caverton at this moment.

Las las, it will be resolved.

Xisnin:

SMH, none of those you mentioned have immunity.
Even with a kangaroo court, he can do nothing to Wike.

same immunity was there when ngige was kidnapped as a governor and his security details removed. Buhari can deal with Wike in so many ways. How about claiming that for grounding caverton,he stopped movements of critical staff and thereby hampered the workings of the oil and gas industry. And he claims that Port Harcourt will pay for the losses and put a stop on their allocation. The federal government is all powerful in Nigeria

MelesZenawi:

you can call them the cabal or anything else but the federal government is powerful

according to the land use act of Nigeria, the federal government owns all land and leaves it in trust of the states. Wike is a care taker. Buhari is the landlord

Caverton helicopters should relocate their base to Imo state. We are business friendly.

Carry your fake law to Dahomey.

Lol

I done hear another one today.

Who is/are the owner/s of the company.

Something isn't right.

The pilots and the security agents that effected their arrests could end up being the pawns in this chess game.

michlins:

Makes no sense.

Cyberterror:

They should come to Warri.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Tit for that? I'm not with wike on this. Amaechi as governor did worse than this to Jonathan though
