Watch Out: Wike Is Coming! By Uche Ugboajah

Uche Ugboajah

I first heard of the name Ezenwo Nyesom Wike sometime in 1999. Then, he was the dashing chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. He had contested the local government election as the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and had to reclaim his mandate through the court. A staunch believer in the rule of law and the efficacy of the judicial process, Wike has a rich history of engagements in this critical arena that undergirds society and anchors democracy. And he is a consummate lawyer to boot. Beyond the realm of law, it is noteworthy that Wike has remained faithful to the PDP since its formation. Unlike many fair-weather politicians in the country, he has not been swayed by the vicissitudes of partisan politics and its changing fortunes to leave the PDP. This uncommon trait speaks to consistency, principle, and loyalty to his political party. 
Wike drew deeply on his grassroots mobilization skills when together with some friends they audaciously confronted the PDP apparatchiks in Abuja in the matter of choosing their party gubernatorial candidate in their state—Rivers. For them, the important matter of who takes over from the amiable Peter Odili as governor of Rivers State, was a local matter that must be decided by Rivers PDP members, not by the commanding heights of the party in Abuja. Thus, they stood their ground and ensured their candidate, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, then speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly won the primaries. This infuriated the former president and leader of the PDP, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. President Obasanjo was to unilaterally annul the candidature of Amaechi, declaring his nomination as PDP candidate, as “having a k-leg.” 
But Wike, the nimble director of the campaigns for Rotimi Amaechi, and his group, soldiered on even after a fine gentleman, Celestine Omehia, was anointed as the PDP candidate for the election. Omehia won the election for the PDP but Wike and his group continued the battle again in the courts, a familiar terrain for him as a lawyer and democrat. According to reports, while the legal battle over who was the authentic candidate of the PDP in that 2007 election raged, Amaechi was out in Ghana for security reasons while Wike, the “field commander,” took charge of the home front not minding all the attendant risks, including threats to his own life. Such is the bravery, commitment, and selflessness of Nyesom Wike! 

Uche Ugboajah

Wham, the Supreme Court declared Rotimi Amaechi as the rightful candidate of the PDP in the 2007 gubernatorial election and ordered that he be sworn in immediately as governor. Wike was subsequently appointed Chief of Staff. In his first term as governor, the fact which his enemies cannot even try to controvert is that Amaechi posted a superlative performance. Yet not a few would argue that the stability and the galvanization of interests, which Wike provided on the political fronts contributed immensely to that performance. Wike was to be appointed minister by President Goodluck Jonathan later. Some analysts believed that appointment was a strategic plan by Amaechi to try and curtail the growing popularity of his former chief of staff at home by pushing him off to Abuja, since all politics as they say, is local.
If that was Amaechi’s thinking, from hindsight, it was a monumentally flawed stratagem. From Abuja, Wike launched out and even became more relevant in the local politics of Rivers State. To cut a long story short, Wike ended up as the governor who took over from Amaechi despite the latter’s best efforts to torpedo it. Interestingly, it is as governor of Rivers State that Wike has made his best mark so far. He has become a myriad of things to different people. For some, especially those at the federal government perch and people sympathetic to them, Nyesom Wike is just a rabble-rouser, a showboating individual or at best a power-drunk governor. Yet, no matter how they despise him or how they struggle to diminish him, the people in Abuja know deeply inside them that Wike is no pushover. 
If they were to be honest, on a few occasions they had collided with the Wike force, like the proverbial tortoise, Abuja would readily admit that two strong men squared off on that ground. If there was one PDP state the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had decided to capture by any means, just before the 2019 general election, it was Rivers State. Their desperation to capture Rivers State was just not because of the oil wealth, but even more so, to tame the allegedly recalcitrant Wike. Oh, how they would have loved to see Wike beg them! But the hugely popular Wike fought like a lion and literally shamed his traducers. When the history of the Buhari government is chronicled, the conduct of security agencies on the order of the government in the 2019 Rivers election perhaps will remain unrivalled in the chapter on abuse of power. Yet, as in all good stories, good overcame evil and as in democracy, the majority won.
More importantly, to his people Wike is not just a mere governor. He is their own governor they made with their own hands. And the man is going about doing justice to the confidence his people repose in him. While his haters are busy accusing him of mere braggadocio, Wike is busy transforming his state. He is confronting headlong the problem of insecurity, because of cult wars, which he inherited by cooperating with security agencies and whatever they would need to tackle the menace. Another governor may not have supported and assisted the police and the military the way Wike does because of their obvious hostility towards him during the election. Yet, for the Rivers State governor, the protection of lives and the property of his people is preeminent. On infrastructure, Wike is awarding and executing contracts for road constructions everywhere in his state. 
For instance, on one occasion, he told a construction firm, “We have awarded you this contract and paid you in full to deliver this road in two years’ time. We paid you in this raining season, so we don’t want to hear that you cannot deliver because of the rains.” Such is his bluntness in pushing for performance. As he is constructing roads, he is rebuilding and equipping schools, hospitals and providing first class housing for judges and other categories of public servants in the state. During the heat of the Covid-19 lockdown, Wike denied himself a lot to physically lead the enforcement of the laws made by the state assembly and even went into an altercation with the federal government in the bid to protect his people. Although he has been criticised in certain quarters, without Wike’s hands-on enforcement of the Covid-19 protocols, there could have been a disaster of cataclysmic proportion in his state seeing the carefree attitude of our people.
For those interested in robust inter-governmental relations, Wike is gradually selling himself as the rallying point for true federalism. Unlike many of his colleagues Wike fully understands that he represents an important tier of government and not answerable to Abuja. For this reason, he is clearly not one of the state governors afraid of speaking up for their people when the federal government bares its authoritarian fangs. As the governor poignantly put it in his remarks at Eric Osagie’s book presentation in Abuja, “I am not one of those governors who run around in Abuja. I don’t like to stay in Abuja. Once am through with my assignments, I quickly return to Port Harcourt. That’s where those who voted for me are.” This independent disposition in pursuing the interest of his people who elected him has often put him in direct conflict with officials of the government at the centre. 
As a result, Wike is gradually becoming the symbol of resistance against an overbearing federal government in the Buhari era just as Ambrose Alli was in the Second Republic. Can you imagine that nearly after a month that the lives of young Igbo youths identified as IPOB members were wasted by security operatives in Enugu, no Southeast governor, not even Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, under whose nose this senseless blood-letting took place, has uttered any word. Wike will certainly not keep quiet!  
Finally, for the PDP, Nyesom Wike appears to be its single most important asset now. While some of his colleague-governors are PDP by the day and APC at night just to be in the good book of President Buhari, Wike remains unabashedly PDP at all times. He strongly believes that the political platform is still strong enough to win elections and that explains why he is doing everything possible to keep the party alive. 
From the massive loss in 2015, Wike has helped PDP to claw back at least three more states—Zamfara, Benue and Edo—and suddenly PDP is becoming more attractive and formidable again. In the just concluded Edo election, Wike’s influence and hard-work added to other important factors to deliver the state to the PDP and remove the very last vestiges of APC in the South-south zone. That is huge political victory for those who understand. “It was in this house, the campaign council met to work out the key strategies that led us to victory. You mobilized people across the country. You moved to Benin, went through the humiliation and attacks. You supported us and we won. It will be a sin against God if we do not come to say thank you. Even if the victory we are celebrating is from God. He has used people like you to make it happen,” a grateful Governor Obaseki told his host, Governor Nyesom Wike a few days ago in Port Harcourt.  
Yes, sometimes Wike can appear to be brash and intimidating. Yet, he has fought for this party with everything in him. And as 2023 beckons, PDP must do well to listen to Nyesom Wike when he expresses his opinion. He sure knows what he is talking about.

EXPOSED: How Former Acting Registrar Of NECO, Gana, Siphoned N368m Registration Fees In Six-month

Abubakar Gana

Abubakar Gana, former Acting Registrar of National Examinations Council, is currently enmeshed in a corruption saga involving the misappropriation of about N368,875,000.00 belonging to the examination council, a document seen by SaharaReporters has shown.
President Muhammadu Buhari had in May 2018 appointed Gana as Acting Registrar of NECO following the suspension of Charles Uwakwe for various offences bordering on financial impropriety.
He was reverted to his position as a director in the council following the appointment of Godswill Obioma as substantial Registrar on May 14, 2020.

Abubakar Gana

According to the document seen by SaharaReporters, Gana connived with some senior officials of NECO to divert about N368m generated by the council from the 2018 June/July SSCE registration fees between June and December 2018.
A source said the former Acting Registrar in collaboration with the Director of Finance and Accounts, Jacob Samuel Ekele, and the then Acting Director of Examination Administration, Mustapha K. Abdul, diverted the money from the council’s coffers under the pretence that the amount represented a revenue loss as a result of ‘missing’ 32,500 units of 2018 June/July SSCE registration cards (worth N368,875,000) in NECO office Ibadan, Oyo State. 
SaharaReporters gathered that the trio persuaded the Governing Board into believing that a former Oyo State officer and one director conspired to sell the cards and misappropriated the money.
“The two officers were painfully dismissed from service without a fair hearing and due process. Whereas the fact of the matter, as thoroughly investigated by us show that NECO did not lose a kobo to that incident. That the allegation against the dismissed Officers was completely false and baseless,” the source said.
The source said that aside from the sacking of the former Oyo officer alongside a director, Gana also misled President Muhammadu Buhari into heaping the blame for the “missing cards” among other things on Uwakwe, a former Registrar of NECO.
“NECO Office Ibadan was burgled on 18th December 2017 during which 32500 units of 2018 June/July SSCE Registration cards worth N368, 875,000.00 were stolen. At the time of the incident, the then state officer was said to be in Minna on annual vacation, just like every other NECO staff at the time. 
“On getting the information, the state officer called one of his Oyo State office staff to report the incident to the nearest police station in Ibadan on the same 18th December 2017. The state officer also informally informed the affected director and the South-West Zonal Coordinator (all via phone calls). 
“The director on the other hand also informed the then Registrar, Prof Charles Uwakwe, verbally (via phone call) on the same day. Therefore, the cards got stolen not ‘missing’ as falsely alleged by the Acting Registrar.
“Upon resumption from the annual holiday in January 2018, the state officer formally reported the incident to the Registrar via a letter dated 17th January 2018 but received at the headquarters of NECO on 29th January 2018. 
“The report was speedily acted upon by the affected director on the same 29th January 2018 as evidenced by minute “A” on the report and the register below.
“The report, which recommended the blocking/tracking of the cards, eventually got to the Acting Director, ICT Department, on 23rd February 2018, as indicated on the attached out-going despatch register. 
“The then Acting Director, ICT Department, had all the 32500 stolen cards completely “blocked” thereby rendering them completely useless. A new set of cards were issued to the then-new Oyo State officer, in replacement for the stolen but blocked cards.
“On assumption of duty as Acting Registrar on 10th May 2018, Mr Gana did not deem it fit to verify from or query the Director that treated the case or look at the evidence in the case file or the explanation given by the state officer before reporting the two officers to EFCC in July 2018.
“Without waiting for EFCC report on the level of culpability or otherwise of the two officers, the Acting Registrar conspiratorially convinced the Chairman of the Board, Dr Abubakar Sadiq, to wrongly cause the dismissal of the two officers in July 2019 on the ground that their negligence had caused a revenue loss of N368, 875,000 to the council. Whereas no money was lost by NECO from the incident since all the stolen cards were rendered useless.
“With the dismissal of the two officers, Abubakar M. Gana, in collaboration with Director, Finance and Account, Dr Jacob Samuel Ekele and the then Acting Director, Examination Administration, Mr Mustapha K Abdul, successfully siphoned the sum of N368, 875,000 out of the 2018 June/July SSCE registration fees; under the criminal pretence, that the amount represents a revenue loss as a result of the stolen 32500 units of 2018 June/July SSCE registration cards,” another source told SaharaReporters.

E2%80%94apc We Are Yet To Receive Notice Of Fayemi’s Suspension —APC

Kayode Fayemi

The All Progressives Congress says it is yet to receive the notice of the suspension of Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti by a faction of the party in the state.
Fayemi was suspended by the party for hosting PDP member, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, in the Government House in Ado Ekiti in the run-up to the Edo elections and also played a role in the gubernatorial election in Oyo State where he supported the PDP candidate to defeat the APC candidate.
The governor had dismissed his suspension, saying it was done by impostors.

The APC, however, said the suspension was a nullity, adding that the party was yet to receive a notice of his suspension.
Yekini Nabena, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, also affirmed that Fayemi remains the party leader in Ekiti.
Nabena said, “The attention of the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress has been drawn to a purported and widely-reported “suspension” of the Governor of Ekiti State, H.E. Kayode Fayemi, as well as an earlier reported “indefinite suspension” of some other party members in the state.
“The actions are a nullity as the party’s National Secretariat is yet to receive communication from the state chapter on the purported “suspensions”.
“We strongly advise all members to adhere to our party constitution.
“Governor Kayode Fayemi remains the leader of the party in Ekiti State.”
He added that for the avoidance of doubt, Architect Paul Omotosho-chaired APC Ekiti State Working Committee was the authentic, valid and duly recognised executive as no factions or divisions exist in the state chapter.

Coalition Vows To Occupy Eagle Square On October 1, Declares Support For NLC/TUC Mass Action

A coalition of civil society groups under the umbrella of Nigerians Against Bad Policies said it would occupy and shut down the Eagle Sqaure m, venue of Nigeria’s 60th Independence Anniversary in Abuja on October 1, 2020 over the increase in the price of petrol and electricity tariff.
The group said that it had mobilised members across the country to join the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress in the nationwide protest against the Nigerian Government.
The coalition disclosed this on Friday in Abuja at a press conference jointly addressed by the Publicity Secretary for Movement for the Socialist Alternative, Oladimeji Macaulay, Gerald O. Katchy of Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, and Juwon Sanyaolu of Take It Back Movement, in support of NLC/TUC general strike.

Macaulay said no amount of intimidation and harassment by security operatives would stop them from embarking on the mass protest.
He said, “Against this backdrop, the Nigerians Against Bad Policies has begun mass mobilisation of the Nigerian people across board to achieve maximum compliance with the call by NLC/TUC for total strike and protests. NABP in liaison with its affiliates across states of the country, shall be organizing rallies, sensitization walks, etc as part of the build up and follow-up to Monday 28th September strike commencement.
“We call on NLC/TUC to be resolute in their demand for total reversal of the increases, and not be cajoled by any partial Greek gifts or so-called palliatives.
“The Nigerian masses who have become totally traumatised by bad governance, leadership insensitivity, run-away inflammation and economic collapse as well as the glaring corruption and lawlessness in the land, are totally committed and willing to wage this struggle with attendant sacrifices until victory is achieved.”

In his own remark Katchy condemned the attempt by the government to justify the hike in petrol pump price and electricity tariff, describing it as unacceptable.
He said, “Again, we totally reject these and state for the upteenth time, that these increases cannot be justified for any reason at this time. We in the Nigerians Against Bad Policies see it as nothing but sheer extortion and exploitation of the downtrodden masses of this country. Our demand again is nothing short of immediate and unconditional reversal of the hikes.
‘”In view of the foregoing therefore, we hereby call on Nigerians to massively come out from the 28th September, 2020 to march and protest against these anti-people policies by the Federal Government of Nigeria, to register their grievances and demand immediate and total reversal in the hike in petrol pump price and electricity tariff.” 
Speaking on behalf of Take It Back Movement, Juwon Sanyaolu, slammed President Muhammadu Buhari over the killings and kidnapping of innocent Nigerians by the bandits.
He said, “Government is busy chasing after protesters while bandits are killing and kidnapping people everywhere including Abuja. 
“Starting from 28th September to October 1 and beyond, we will protest and occupy this country. 
“The fact of the matter is that a government that has failed have no reason to continue in the first place. This government has failed and Buhari should resign.”
