(Nigeria) All Progressives Congress, APC governorship candidate in the 2015 general election,  in Rivers State and current Director General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, has said that no amount of well-crafted and rehearsed lies and cheap media propaganda can sway Rivers people to believe in the current administration of deceit in Rivers State led by Governor Nyesom Wike.
Peterside, weekend, in Etche during APC senatorial rally for the rerun National Assembly election, said “The verdict of the people is that Wike is a terrible disappointment and a wasted opportunity.”
He said that it had become clear to all that the present government in Rivers State is unfit to lead Rivers people.
“This government has neglected its most fundamental duty of securing lives and property, has earned the unenviable sobriquet of number one state in kidnapping, has borrowed more money under one year than all previous governments put together yet no single project to show for it, has a penchant for inviting personalities to commission projects executed by the Chibuike Amaechi administration, legalized extortion and multiple taxation and embarked on endless biometric verification as a ploy to owe workers and pensioners six months salaries and allowances.  No government has ever been as deceitful as the present government in Rivers state.
“Wike is a terrible disappointment on all fronts, he brought back abruptly over 400 students who were on state government scholarship abroad during the Amaechi administration, shut down government model primary health centres and primary schools,” Peterside stated.
He described Wike as a man who pathologically hates education and wondered how Wike expects a society to progress without its citizens being educated.
“The panacea for this impending doom and generational catastrophe is for Rivers people to vote for APC legislators who will team up with other men of goodwill and rescue Rivers State from misrule, criminality, rascality and exploitation,” Peterside said.
He said the power to liberate Rivers State was in the vote of the people.
He recalled telling Rivers people that Wike has no plan on how to run Rivers State but rather poorly copied his road-map to prosperity.

(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
