On Nyesom Wike’s Supreme Court Victory

 The victory of Chief Barr. Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike at the Supreme Court after a hard fought legal battle has brought so much smile to the face of true Rivers people. I am not talking about the politicians who are wont to change white to black in order to satisfy their whims and caprices  but the very commoners who understand the security implication of having another round of elections in a state that has been traumatized by the judicial pronouncements that preceded the judgment of the apex court of the land.
As a Rivers and Niger Delta son I must confess that the political events of the last two months in the two states of Bayelsa and Rivers has given us so much joy to majority of our people and will bring political, social and economic stability to the region despite the attempts by a noisy few to send wrong impression that they are on ground.
It is the expectations of a lot of us that the same scenario will repeat itself in Akwa Ibom  and Abia states  where the same elements are bent on foisting their fiendish agenda on the people.
I wish to call on our President to see this as a true reflection of the aspirations of the people and call his boys to order so as to let peace reign. His true friends are we the 5 percenters who have remained resolute in our quest for a better Nigeria. Those prodding him to take anti democratic stance so as to appease their inordinate quest for power are his enemies and if he allows them succeed it will only be bad news for him and just like the former President is beginning to learn of the betrayals of some trusted persons in his administration, he may not be as lucky when the chips are down.
To Nyesom Wike the enigmatic governor and true lion of the people I say congratulobia. He has shown that he is a man of steel. He ensured that the former governor who is now fighting him dirty win the celebrated Supreme Court judgment of October 2007 and he has shown that he still holds the ace as far as seeking redress against injustice is concerned.
Congratulations from some quarters or not, the congratulations of Rivers people and true democrats all over the world are ten thousand times more soothing.
I urge him to be magnanimous in victory and accord our President the respect he deserves after all, his silence in the face of the whole oppressive scheming of his supporters has in the long run decimated their resources which lawyers and corrupt judges have feasted on.
I cannot end without giving big thumbs up to our revered Supreme Court judges. They are the real hope of the common men and not the Ghana Must Go loving judges who do not care about posterity or the integrity of their judgments. Like the late Bassey Ikpeme their credibility has vanished like the ladder of a soap.

God bless us all.

Sen. Magnus Abe's Courageous Fight For Rivers Brick House

Ab e' Today Rivers people especially majority of faithful of the All Progressives Congress APC defied the heavy down pour in Port Harcourt to show solidarity for Sen. Magnus Abe and the direct primaries in the state which has been kicked against by the Rotimi Amaechi faction of the party in the state. This support which was massive and highly successful  buttressed the position of the over 148,000 people that caste  their votes on the direct primaries which held in the state on the 30th of September 2018. Rivers people on that   fateful day showed that they wanted the right man for the job in defiance of the foisting of an unknown candidate chosen from the blues to fly the flag of the party. The solidarity which the people of the state and APC members showed for the Ogoni born Senator has to be respected by the party unlike what is happening today where the party seems to be favouring the emergence of Tonye Cole all in the bid to please the former governor of t...
