The Rivers State Government has issued a strong warning to a group of people it accuses of conducting a smear campaign against State Governor Nyesom Wike.

The State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Chris Finebone, who briefed journalists in Port Harcourt after the state executive council meeting last night, said the persons appear to be uncomfortable with Governor Wike’s role in the Peoples Democratic Party’s G-5 Governors’ demand for fairness, equity, and justice in the party.

The speaker at the briefing exhibited a copy of a document allegedly containing the evil plot by the persons he refers to as faceless and political opponents of Governor Wike.

He did not, however, reveal the contents of the document or the identities of those involved.

“This is the evidence of the plot to blackmail Governor Wike. This is the document and it is titled, ‘proposal with hashtag, to end Wike rascality programme.’”

Finebone stated that the government and governor are not surprised by this outcome.

What’s unfortunate about it, he says, is that people behind it have chosen to stay anonymous.

“We encouraged them to remove their mask and show themselves as the governor and the government is equal to the task of responding to them adequately.”

The Information and Communications Commissioner stated that the State government already knows who the political opponents who are organizing the smear campaign against Governor Wike are.

He remarked that they are individuals within the party and challenged them to disclose themselves if they are certain of what they are doing and courageous enough to fight for the cause they seek.

“They can’t even sign it (the document) to push for this. It is important we warn them. It is important we also warn Nigerians about this scheme.

“We expect more of them to come. But I can assure you that the governor and the G-5 would rise to the occasion as they continue to start this type of campaign of calumny.”

“The management of EUI Events Center had refused to refrain from blocking an entire stretch of part of Sani Abacha link Road, GRA phase 3 without government approval.

He proclaimed that the Rivers State government has sealed the EUI Events Center in GRA Phase 3, Port Harcourt, with effect from Wednesday, December 7, 2022.

Finebone stated that event center operators in the state frequently fail to plan for their guests’ vehicles, including where the vehicles would be parked and how other road users will utilize the same route.

Rather, he observed, they simply block the road and are unconcerned about the repercussions, while also ignoring genuine advice to reduce such public nuisance.

“The government cannot sit back and watch people exercise absolute impunity by seizing property developed with tax payers’ money for their own personal use and comfort.” The government must safeguard everyone.”

Austen Ben Chioma, Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, also briefed press on the decision that led to the EUI Event Center’s management obstructing free flow of traffic on the road on Wednesday.

This, he added, contradicted pledges made to the government that they would always ensure that their traffic wardens controlled traffic properly so that other road users were not penalized.

“But to the greatest surprise of the Rivers State government, today’s event that is holding there, there was no road for road users to pass and road users were complaining bitterly.

“I got the information and I went there myself and I saw that the road was totally blocked. I told the owner of the place that this cannot be tolerated. And she said that she has done her best and she cannot kill herself.”
