Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has officially restored all the entitlements and benefits of Sir Celestine Omehia as a former Governor of the state.
Reinstating the official portrait of Sir Celestine Omehia amongst the line-up of former governors of Rivers State at the Government House, Gov Wike said “I hereby put back his official portrait among those of former governors. He is now entitled to the benefits of all former governors. ”
He further explained that his decision to restore the entitlements and privileges of Omehia as former governor stemmed from the fact that he worked as governor of the state between May 29, 2007 and October 25, 2007, wherein he took decisions on behalf of the State and initiated projects.
It will be however recalled that on 25 October 2007, the Supreme Court annulled Omehia's election, ruling that Chibuike Amaechi, not Omehia, was the PDP's legitimate candidate, after he was declared the winner of the Rivers State gubernatorial election of 2007, held on 14 April 2007, amidst wide scale rigging and violence.
Responding to the governor's gesture, Sir Celestine Omehia described Thursday as the most historic day of his political career. He said that the restoration of his rights as a former governor indicates that his dark political days are over.
Secretary to Rivers State Government, Kenneth Kobani, Rivers State Housing Commissioner, Barrister Emma Okah and the State Attorney-General, Chinwe Aguma were witnesses to the event.

Alryt. There bizness
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I see is their belle...
ReplyDeleteWell I no fit chuk mouth.
ReplyDeleteNa really wah Stella
ReplyDeleteThe rate at which this Wike is going on with his pettiness with Amaechi, he might run into trouble in no distant time. Have not heard of any major achievement but all he has been doing still centred around Amaechi. Getting tired of him already.
ReplyDeleteShyla, shut up there.
DeleteU are so right shyla.he is being too petty..any time,he opens his mouth..the only u will hear is amechi amechi.haba.and it's this amechi that gave him his first appointment..from nobo to sombo..BACK STABBER
DeleteEx GOVERNOR Omehia,thank God for today. This man,Sir Celestine Omehia did wonders in those short months he was at the helm of affairs.
ReplyDeletePolitical jingoism and manoeuvre edged him out. He is RCA's cousin so it was a bit hard on supporters.
So,I thank Gov Wike for doing this.
Na real waah! Wike is just making a mockery of Amaechi. Only God knows what will be his fate if Buhari fails to give him any appointment.
ReplyDeleteLol @"nzube, Amaechi may commit suicide
DeleteWike's drama would be more than Amaechi:s

ReplyDeleteIf Oga Omehia's win was annulled by D Supreme Court,doesnt it den mean that he was never infact a governor,more so to be addressed as an ex-governor??
ReplyDeleteOga Wike,dis thing u did now,is ur priority in ur state,eh kwa?
Una go dey fight,dey do power tussle,dey spoil things...
Ma'am it was annulled doesn't mean he didn't occupy the office of the governor. Infact during his brief stay in the office the state felt his impact. He was once a governor of the state.
DeleteAna emenu!
ReplyDeleteBrothers in politics....
ReplyDeleteAnnulled or not Sir.Omehia was once a governor of the state because he was sworn in and occupied the office for a period of time, however brief it was. Welldone Gov.Wike......Congratulations Sir.Omehia.
ReplyDeleteHa aruba ba go ya back.

Wike is boring me.
ReplyDeleteHow funny it will all end if Omehia gets put in his lawful place again (at least, as is lawful by the supreme court ruling), then it would be a two-time disgrace.
This action is not right, and I don't see how it's amongst the list of most important problems Rivers State is facing.
Delusion at its peak. All in a bid to outshine and discredit another
ReplyDeleteThis wike no get better things to do
ReplyDeleteThat's very thoughtful and nice of him
ReplyDeleteWelldone wike
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Omehia
Seen ,next on the agenda ,arrest the man himself ameachi
ReplyDeleteGov Wike should tread carefully cos this is one decision that might come back to haunt,it wasn't the act itself but the motive.
ReplyDeleteWike is a liar.He is just trying to lay this as precedent so that when he is kicked out by The Election Tribunal for Election results manipulations,he may also be entitled to such.
