*Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chairman, Mr Felix Obuah

(Nigeria) The Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr Felix Obuah has said that the gale of defections into the party by members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the State was a result of the good works of Governor Nyesom Wike.
Obuah in a statement in Port Harcourt on Thursday, said the overwhelming achievements of Governor Wike less than three years in office had convinced doubting Thomases that good governance was possible in the state.
Speaking on the heels of massive defection of APC members led by the APC lawmaker representing Tai State Constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Mr Mathew Dike in Tai Local Government Area to the PDP on Tuesday, he  praised the decampees for taking the right decision to dump the APC which he described as an expired association.
Urging the APC remnants still left in the party, including the lawmaker representing Tai/Eleme/Oyigbo Federal Constituency, Barry Mpigi to join the ongoing exodus of their members into the PDP across the State,  Obuah described the development as positive, restating that the APC is not and can never be an option for the Riversman or woman.
“For eight consecutive years, Rivers people were infested with bad governance by the APC peopled by a group of greedy, self-seeking and unpatriotic individuals.  But the emergence of Wike changed the tide and brought massive infrastructural development in all the nooks and crannies of the state.”
Bro. Obuah added that Amaechi and his group of scoundrels did more disservice to the people in failing to provide a peaceful and tranquil environment for the people.
“Happily, Governor Wike graciously brought peace to the State and aside his inroad in infrastructural development; he has made commendable marks in the area of education, healthcare, housing, human capacity building and youths/ women development.”
Obuah said the mass defection of APC members into the PDP became inevitable as Governor Wike has not only delivered on his campaign promises but has clearly exceeded all expectations.
“What about the numerous awards he has received declaring him as Governor of the Year, the most recent being the Sun Newspaper Governor of the Year, back to back, Silverbird and Daily Independent Awards,” he said, adding that Governor Wike has also warmed his way into the hearts of the international community, the latest being his nomination for the prestigious Africa Power of Sports Award which will be conferred on him on May 8, 2018 in Brussels, Belgium.

(Nigeria) The Nigerian Guild of Editors, NGE, has commended the Federal High Court Abuja, over its order of perpetual injunctions restraining the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Ruling on originating motions marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1386/2021, instituted by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda against the NBC - as sole respondent in the suit, Justice James Omotosho, also set aside the N500, 000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The judge also held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. He further held that the Nigeria Broadcast 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. In a statement by its President, Mustapha Isah and the General Secretary, Dr. Iyobosa Uwugiaren, on Wednesday, the Guild salut...
