RIVERS STATE CRIES OUT TO FG TO CALL WIKE TO ORDER

By




PORT HARCOURT—All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, has called on the Federal Government to sanction Governor Nyesom Wike for refusing to appear before a Police probe panel on violence that characterised the just concluded re-run elections in the state.
State Chairman of APC, Mr Dave Ikanya, in a statement by his media aide, also described as an affront on the Federal Government, the constitution of a similar probe panel by Governor Wike in the state.
He said: “This is a direct affront on federal powers and should be swiftly met with appropriate response by those whose authority he is challenging so as not to embolden others to follow his dangerous example.
“Wike has clearly crossed the line and should be put in his proper place by the Federal Government whose powers he is brazenly challenging. Wike’s sole purpose in setting up the kangaroo commission is to ridicule APC leaders and make nonsense of the efforts by the Police to probe and stop further killings in Rivers State.”
Meantime, the state government again dismissed the Police panel as a body set up with a predetermined end which is to indict Governor Wike, stressing that it has no confidence in it.
Commissioner for Information and Communications, Dr Austin Tam-George, in a statement, yesterday, also lashed out at the APC for inciting the Police against the government of the state.
He said: “Rivers State branch of the APC is following a familiar and disgraceful path of inciting the Police and other security agencies against Rivers people. But we will never be intimidated.
“The Rivers State Government strongly believes that the IG’s panel was set up to procure a predetermined indictment of Governor Wike and other leaders in Rivers State. We have no confidence in the panel and will not participate in its proceedings.
“The Commission of Inquiry set up by the Rivers State Government will investigate and submit a report on the specific security breaches that occurred before, during and after the December 10 poll in the state.

“We believe that the commission’s report will form the best objective basis for action by the Rivers State Government.”

COURSES YOU SHOULD AVOID/BE CAREFUL WITH IN UNN

Courses You Should Avoid/Be Careful With In UNN: Am going to list down some departments in UNN you should clean your eyes very well if you want to go there or plan to change to them, you should just be ready or you will end up regretting why you make such choice. One of the mistakes students make in their academic pursuit starts with the choice of course or department they choose in Jamb. Some people will use their hands and drag themselves into a hot fire which they will start regretting or saying "if I had known" later but by then, its already late. Some people choose course because their friends choose the course, some choose it because of the way the name sounds, some just choose without asking questions, some choose because maybe its easy to enter, etc. I always hear students saying "I shouldn't have gotten myself into this department that I am if I knew this department is like this" There are also so many students who are just "flowing...
