Gov Wike deserves praises for keeping his election promises-----Obuah

By -

(Nigeria) Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State,  Mr Felix Obuah has said that Governor Nyesom Wike deserves a pat on the back for keeping to his election promises to place the State above self in his administration.
The state PDP chairman in a statement in Port Harcourt, said that the track record of achievements of the Wike administration under one year was amazing and shows that given all the necessary support all the losses suffered in the previous years will be recovered before he completes his tenure.
Worthy of note, Obuah stressed, are the myriad of road projects constructed and rehabilitated across the state besides other landmarks some of which had been politicized and turned into election campaign projects by previous governments until Wike’s assumption of office on May 29, 2015.
Such roads according to the State PDP chairman include the Sakpenwa – Bori – Kono Road, Ogoni that has just been flagged off for dualization by Governor Wike to appreciate the meaningful contributions of the Ogoni people and other Rivers people living along that axis to the state economy.
Describing it as the beginning of the efforts of the PDP-led government to open up a vista of opportunities to the great people of Ogoni and the entire Rivers South-East, Obuah enjoined the people to take advantage of the kind gestures of the governor to key into the programme of rural development by ensuring that the required peaceful and friendly environment for sustainable development is created.
The state PDP chairman promised that the giant footprints of the Wike administration will traverse the length and breadth of the State, and appealed for patience and prayers for the government.
Congratulating Governor Wike for his efforts, Obuah noted that laying this kind of foundation for quality leadership is what Democracy is all about, and expressed the joy and felicitations of the members and leadership of the PDP in the state to the governor as the Nation marks yet another Democracy Day.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law. He said the court would not sit idle and watch a body imposing fine arbitrarily without recourse to the law. He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at
