michlins: They are licensed to operate and not licensed to kill or disregard the state govt where they operate. It is foolish for any company to wanna be at loggerhead with the state govt of where you operate. The Fed Govt is just being a bully and stupid and petty. That Rivers state ain't in your party doesn't mean you don't liaise with them. Is this northern same president that stupidly tagged some people as 5%!? Petty fed govt. Air peace is not a rogue company that disregard state govts,they know their importance. And fyi,Wike ain't no pushover,he's a lawyer. 1 Like |

Okeytus: You people are speaking as if the helicopter was loaded with corona virus. Can't we reason objectively again because we have sympathy for certain parties? Even Lagos that's the epicentre, a plane still flew over today. Did the passenger in the helicopter result to be tested? Wike is just overreacting |

michlins: I agree with you,I'm in that bandwagon. And that is why we gotta stand against these northerners that have taken over all positions of power to oppress the south. We must rally round people like Wike. I'm not Igbo or even from Rivers state but we must rally round people like Wike and Kanu who look at these internal colonialists in the eye. |

idahme: What he did is wrong and it seems politically. motivated. It goes against the aviation laws guiding the industry. Wike is a lawyer and should know better. He should at least respect the laws of the land. Calverton services are essential now more than ever before. Their helicopters can be used to move supplies such medical staff and supolied in these desperate times. There will be a backlash. Wike is only paying politics and if he's not, it is very dangerous. He's no more running for office so has grown great airs. He wasn't this pompous in his 1st term. The traditional rulers who he put down recently I'm sure he must have grovelled at their feet when he was desperate to get to office. He's intoxicated with power. In 3years time, he'll be a nobody with many enemies having scores to settle. |

CeterisXVII: The police took the pilots to court for violating the state order The governor can't stop them from flying but they can't enter the state The pilots were arrested for allowing the passengers to land in Rivers which has been banned and signed into law by the governor.

Iceberg3:lols. Licensed to kill. Who have they killed. Name a single case of death or coronavirus that is attributed to them. Let me tell you something. Over there in the USA where the State government are very powerful unlike what we have here, the federal government permitted some companies to operate because they offer services to the military and as such termed national security services. So it happened that Blue Origin owned by Elon Musk was one of them. They needed to test some rockets that have zero interest in the safety of America but a totally different thing. The rocket in question was meant to take tourists into space but because they have been licensed to operate, they still do. Even with the quarantine measures in place and restrictions of movement between states, they still moved their staff to a Texas launch site even with the cries and wails of the government and local people. If this can happen where there's rule of law and such impunity allowed to exist, imagine what our federal government with total disregard for rule of law can do. PS, our oil industry is too important to us and can be regarded as a national security infrastructure |

michlins: Thank you for telling them. For those hailing the governor for this act last last na unna go pay caverton but by then nobody will come and tell you anything but the real winner will be smiling to the bank. For your information Caverton was licenced for offshore operations and were strictly servicing shell FPSOs and rigs in deep offshore. This guys have been away even before Nigeria recorded 5 cases of Corona so tell me how they have become a risk to the state. Infact the state is a risk to them! The govt of Rivers State has chosen to abandon the more pressing issues like relief packages and security but he is going about arresting pilots. Everybody knows what and who he is challenging but to me it's a total waste of time and poor publicity stunt. People are hungry now is to show the action governor that you are rather you are looking for chopper that wants to land with Corona patients. The level at which some useless governor turns everything into politics amazes me. Tomorrow u will ask for your own 10 billion Corona fund, 2 Likes |

Iceberg3:the northern Nigeria isn't your problem. Your problem is the likes of Wike who will start trouble where there's none. This power tussle he's forming now without recourse to the constitution will give Buhari the powers he need to come hard against Rivers State and her people. You don't fight a tyrant with lawlessness. He will descend on you with tyranny and you go run |
Re: Rivers State Government Declares Carveton Helicopters Persona Non Grata by Moventist: 10:58pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
michlins: Which power tussle are you talking about? The dreaded Covid 19 is no respecter of federal might. Buhari's controlled CP and Airforce commander lead the team to arrest the pilot while the legal team of police force took them to court . Many Nigerians jump into conclusion without knowing the issues With the so-called federal might . Wike conquered them during the elections last year Leave that matter of tyranny .it only works on the weak I wonder which of the constitution you're referring which gives the governor control over it territory.Are you aware that this a Federal Republic which the states makes up the federation units ? 1 Like |

Xisnin: Ignorance is the biggest problem we have among Nigerian "Yoots". It is even worse when that ignorance is blissful. Some Nuggets to digest: 1) Calverton Helicopters should know we are in an emergency situation during this Pandemic and should coperate with state Govt's directive. it should not try to rely too much on "the law" on come in-between any fued between states and Fed. Govt. 2 ) Wike should know, being a Lawyer who is married to someone that became the state Chief Judge under his tenure (that in itself smirks of over-concentration of Power, "Absolute Power that corrupts absolutely!), should know that the Nigerian airspace is under the control of the Federal Govt, in the exclusive list, through FAAN, even for state airports and as such, he does not have any authority, not to mention an exclusive authority, to determine who lands or take-off in hsi state. Maybe he forgot that even the Police that is protecting his house can be ordered removed, under the authority of the I.G.P, a boy-boy of the President. 3) And if he is relying on his immunity, it can be "technically" rendered null and mute, if the President decides to declare "A State of Emergency" in Rivers State. The implication of such declaration is that the Governor is suspended indefinitely, a 'Sole Administrator' is put in place by the President, to run the affairs of the State, the State Legislature "can also" be suspended at the wish of the President. At that point, Wike becomes an ordinary Nigerian and may be arrested and prosecuted, as in bye-bye to Governorship Immunity! 4) Buhari himself or his handlers (since we are not sure who is the President now!) should stop flexing their muscle and playing party Politics with Wike! A National leader like a President, should rise above such childish muscle flexing with a State Governor who is obviosuly a Thug! You dont need to show him Pepper and prove to him you are stronger than him, for the sake of the citizens. Wike wants to flex muscle, Abuja wants to flex muscle, where is the sense in that? I dont believe Abuja should have flexed its authority and land those passengers in Rivers State, without informing the Rivers State FAAN, which should then inform the states Covid Emergency team, it does not mean that Wike has any authority over them but it is just PROTOCOL and to allow for smooth operation around this delecate time. But Wike should thread softly o, his Egungun is dancing towards the Express road and Motor go jam am if care is not taken. Those Pilots can be jailed by a State Court but the Decision would be overturned by a Federal court quite easily, the next day, for lack of Jurisdiction, then Abuja may put soldiers at the door of the office of calverton and IGP will order Policemen to 'step down' on the matter while the current state C.P is replaced with an Abuja boy.
