i thought AVIATION is under exclusive legislative list! , if yes...then Wike is just making a moutain out of a molehill. Not necessary if you ask me.

"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.”

I don’t know why Nigerians, even educated ones, always interchange the two words : “border” and “bother”.
I am sure he wanted to say- never bothered.

michlins:
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

Shut that your dirty mouth if you have nothing meaningful to say. So the "power that be" simply means helicopters can fly into the state in total violation of the restriction order?. Perhaps there are no laws in your poverty ravaged State, there are laws in Rivers State & everyone is under the law including your Alpha & Omega in Aso Rock.

Does Rivers State look like a State governed by cowards?.

bibiking7:



In my own humble opinion. This is a very poorly written statement. This statement shows prejudice towards a particular authority. This statement passes a message of
"How dare you". The helicopter agency said that they had clearance from a federal agency. It's just like the case of Lagos state. We were doing fine with our own state government imposed limited movement. Then the federal government came and announced a total lockdown.

The prick that wrote the statement tried to play around the sentimental side of the people towards curtailing the corona virus, by stating that the activities of the commercial helicopter puts the life of its citizens at risk, but it's obvious from the same article that it's all hogwash. In the end, what do I know.

Thank you. Honestly, you are a breath of fresh air on this fetid thread. I was almost choking with disgust until I read your beautiful submission.

JAMO84:
That Company has federal connection. Wike can shove his Rivers State up his bigoted ass.
BTW, if that Company is own by an Igbo, and northern or SW Governor did this, you people would say that it was done deliberately to ruin Igbo business. Now that it is Yoruba business, what do you have to say?

I AM DONE TALKING

They should shut it down. His Abuja connection can't save him.

Wike remains the Governor of Rivers state and caverton operates under his jurisdiction.

Okeytus:
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.

Go a sms read your book - aviation is nkt within state purview..

Rivers state government should stand thier ground and the federal government should insist on the exclusive list bullshit. Finally the court will decide who is right or wrong and this will further improve and strengthen our democracy

Hedonisst:
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.

Mumu. You're an Alien. Allow human being to discuss Pls

.

So pathetic when you see educated illiterates supporting nonsense in this country. Even at war there are some essential duty that goes on , do you know whether those guys are on essential duty? Keep hailing him , how much is barrel of oil now ? those businesses that suppose to pay taxes to the state government continue chasing them away. Hope he will provide jobs for rivers state indigene working with caverton when they leave rivers. Tomorrow now he will start comparing rivers to lagos . Rubbish.

MelesZenawi:
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...

Just imagine yourself, it’s because of people like you “the ass lickers” that is making wike feeling like God in Rivers, causing unnecessary hardships and unemployment in the state, don’t worry all airlines and other companies will leave rivers State for him. when you criticize him or challenge him the next thing you see is tractor and bulldozer digging gutter in front of your company or chopping center that will last over two years

I pity you. You and your likes are the reason for bad and irresponsible government we see today. Because of powers that be, he should compromise and endanger the lives of his people. What a country and its stupid citizens?

Make work calm down, d guy body too hot.. The best is to quarantine them.. U want fight federal government.if them enter am, rivers no go contain am

Last last we go know who get power pass if na Federal Government or State government when it comes to naija matter.

michlins:
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

Oga, it doesn't change the fact that wike is never ready to lick buhari's smelly anus.. He is the real definition of a man.. You can only type threats and thrash.. las las calverton go beg

CoronaVirusPro:
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.

U lack wisdom bro, I tell you. You can't underestimate the effect of sanctions by a state government to a business operator... Caveaton has more than 50percemt operations in rivers state and you know what sanctions can do to them. They did not do the right thing, going against an executive order of the state government. Instead of recognizing their failure they pitched their tent with Abuja, na them go surfer I swear .poor business decision

You're not making sense.

Carry your fake law to Dahomey.

Lol

I done hear another one today.

Check the meaning and dumbness and check yourself

luckshine007:
Check the meaning and dumbness and check yourself

Dahomey straight

U are being political because u are not involved here. Why are we fighting ourselves when the main enemy is the virus. The war here is should be against the virus not human.
Imagine police killing a citizen for not staying indoor now the question that should come to mind is, *why kill whom you claim to be protecting from dying*

Macphenson:


Wike is not making any mistakes. Why did Caverton Helicopter not release their flight manifest for testing?

Since Federal government benefits much from Rivers state, what measures have they put in place to check people flying into Rivers State to avoid the spread of the virus?
How are we even sure those people that came in came because of oil and gas?
Who are they?


So you expect the governor to fold it's arms and watch Abuja bring in disaster to it's state because of oil and gas?

You must be a joker.
Wike is not a joker.

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

to fly market women?

They operate on FGN Airways.

What's the worst that can happen. Tell me!

I know most Rivers re d**b that is why

onecoder:
Nice one wike. Chief security officer of rivers state have spoken.

When he was crying to FG for help in the last election he didn’t know he was chief security officer of the state

Emmanuelhector:
to fly market women?

IMO state has been quietly increasing its oil installations.

You are even a liability to their financial freedom.

I'm here to know the meaning of Persona Non Grata

ednut1:
Wike just like to behave like tout. Their ph base is in naval airforce. Will any lga or state officer dare go there

Nigeria constitution do not give right to state government to enforce curfew in their state or close land borders and airspace only the FG have such power

All your assertions here depict u as one who doesn't know the workings of the constitution....go seek knowledge than embarrassing your self in public

michlins:
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

Your Asorock statue owns nothing okay

River State lands is first Rivers pple

Point of correction, Wike took them to court for prosecution, he did not kill anybody, I wonder why you have to compare this scenario with police killing.

Caverton Helicopters goofed trying to flex muscle with a state government where it's doing business, because it feels it has few phone numbers of those in Abuja.

That's not a smart business move. Wike as the state governor will wreck that business for them to flex muscle with him, and Caverton competitors will take over River State market.
