(Nigeria) Rivers State governor, Mr Nyesom Wike has stated that no rational person in the state will contradict the major transformation  taking place across the state. 
Speaking at the Government House,  Port Harcourt on Wednesday, when he received the lawmaker representing Tai state constituency, Mr Mathew Dike who defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from the All Progressive Congress, APC, Wike  commended the former APC legislator for  seeing the light.
He said that the new PDP lawmaker will enjoy the full benefits of his membership of the party.
He said: "No rational person in the state will say that we are not massively developing Rivers State  in line with our campaign promises. 
"Everywhere in the state, we are rolling out projects for the benefit of the people and to enhance  the quality of their lives."
The governor congratulated  the former APC lawmaker for abandoning APC as the party  has completely  abandoned  Rivers State. 
"They came here to flag off the Ogoni clean up, but instead of cleaning  up Ogoni, they are planning to build  a maximum security prison. They have made the two seaports in the state redundant. 
"What Rivers State has suffered in the hands of the APC Federal Government is horrible.  They have not executed a single project in  the state. The APC Federal Government works daily to sabotage Rivers State, but we are still making remarkable progress," he said.
The governor said no worthy politician will remain in APC as the party cannot conduct primaries, congresses and convention.
Presenting the new PDP lawmaker to the Rivers State Governor, Chairman of the Rivers State PDP, Mr Felix Obuah said Mathew Dike by defecting has moved with the last set of APC members to the PDP in Tai Local Government Area of the state.
Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Mr Ikuinyi-Owaji Ibani said the works of the Rivers State Governor are attracting more people to the PDP.
The member Representing Tai state constituency, Mr Dike said that his defection was engineered by Tai  people who asked him to move to the PDP.
He said any politician not following  Wike in Rivers State  is doing the state a disservice because the governor has performed satisfactorily.

(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.

In a statement by its President, Mustapha Isah and the General Secretary, Dr. Iyobosa Uwugiaren, on Wednesday, the Guild salut...
