(Nigeria) Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has called on Nigerians to establish the platform for the swift revival of the country by voting  for Atiku Abubakar on February 16, 2019.
This is as thousands of Gokana people defied a heavy downpour to prove their support for Governor Wike.  For close to two hours, Gokana people celebrated key projects of the state governor in the area, assuring him of their votes during the forthcoming election.
Addressing the 2019 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Campaign Rally at Gokana LGA of the state,  Tuesday , Governor Wike said Nigeria will not survive another four years of Buhari's directionless and dictatorial governance.
He said: "We have the opportunity  to chart a new direction  for the country.  Another four years of this failed APC Federal Government would mean countless deaths and excessive  suffering.
"Atiku Abubakar will bring to bear his experiences in job creation and  administration  to transform  the country and help us recover from the failures of Buhari."
He urged the people to always seek freedom for the good of the country.
He said all Nigerians  should rise to challenge Buhari's  dictatorship with their votes.
He said that Nigerians should end the road  for the APC as there is no need for a failed leadership to continue  to destroy the foundation of the country.
He said Nigerians have tested the APC  and discovered that they can only offer suffering  and retrogression.
On the development of Gokana Local Government Area, the governor assured the people of Gokana Local Government Area of more key projects to stabilise the economy of the council.
He added that Ogoni people cannot be intimidated  by the APC leadership  to say that they cannot contest for the governorship of the state.  He said  as bonafide Rivers people, Ogoni  will only emerge as governor  under the umbrella of PDP.
Governor Wike charged the people of Gokana Local Government Area to work hard to win in all the  polling  units.  He said that the results of the rerun elections in the area must be improved upon in 2019.
Deputy Chairman of the PDP in Rivers State, Hon Charles Awortu,  presented flags to PDP candidates. He urged the people to vote for all PDP candidates.
Director General of Wike Solidarity Movement, Gabriel Pidomson said that the people will defend their votes and resist any form of intimidation.
Commissioner of Finance, Dr Fred Kpakol said Gokana Local Government Area has always been PDP.  He said that the destiny of the people are in their hands and they are prepared to defend their future.
In his address, Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Sir Kenneth Kobani said the rain is a sign of victory for PDP.
He said Gokana are appreciative  of the outstanding works of Governor Wike and will overwhelmingly vote for him and the PDP candidates.
Highpoint of the occasion  was the conferment  of a Chieftaincy title on Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike by the Gokana Traditional Rulers.  The traditional rulers said they appreciate  the governor's achievements in their communities.

(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.

*Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri (Nigeria) Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has said the ruling of the country’s apex court on the Osun State governorship election was an affirmation that power in a democracy resided with the people.
