I am happy Wike is setting things right in my state.

Nigeria politician with der politics of self interest and purpose. In other news......... Why is okorocha also complaining of inheriting an empty treasury? I tot he handed over to himself?? Na waa oooo.

his mandate was nullified...how does it still make him a governor?

e no concern me sha

choiiiiiii, wike or wicked, omeha tenure is not known to d law. U will pay for ur political jambore soonest

I'm a PDP supporter but I condemn this, I condemn it, I condemn it.
There is no provision in the constitution where a governor whose tenure was nullified can be recognized as a former governor with all benefits and entitlements reinstated.
Nyesom is a lawyer and I'm shocked he does not know what the law says.
A shame

The governor said that the era of politics of bitterness in Rivers State was effectively over,

And You have been hunting Amaechi and His aids all Over the place! Hypocrite!

Long overdue. He would have been a good governor cos he started well. But obviously if omehia was against Wike in the last election he wouldn't have restored his privileges.

Wike has destroyed Amaechi in every ramifications

Please let's call a spade a spade omehia is not a former Governor of rivers state according to the Nigerian constitution
And given him any right of a former Governor is wrong in every sense of it
This is impunity in the highest other and must be corrected by a court of law
Were are our constitutional lawyers it is now we need u

in the eyes of the law, omehia does not exist as a former governor,.this is unconstitutional, paying him any benefits and entitlements will be illegal.

Wike, the man they couldn't arrest.

Good move Barr. Wike.

Good!
Of all things Wike has done to Amaechi, this would be the most painful.

Wike knows how to turn the knife in the wound.

Go to court...

I consider wike to be one of the dullest leaders we have in the country at the moment, his abject disregard for the rule of law makes mockery of his law degree. Some common criminals are more cultured than this man

O

chai Amaechi done suffer, wike is making a good move.

Hmm...is that constitutional? That should be contested in the courts, so Rivers State's resources would not be spent on one who is not entitled to it....l do not think the Supreme Court judges were smoking weed when they gave the judgement!
