Wike says the award Buhari bestowed on him attests to his performance

Wike said if anybody asks him to bring his report card, he would show him/her the award.

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State says the award President Muhammadu Buhari recently bestowed on him is evidence that he performed well.

Wike who dedicated the award to God said this on Monday, October 24, 2022, at an event organised in his honour in the state.

The governor attributed the successes of his administration in infrastructural development to the support and encouragement he received from the people of the state.

Wike said if anybody asks him to bring his report card, he would show him/her the award from Buhari, adding that the president attested to his performance.

He said, “We must all work together. Traditional rulers, help Rivers State to move forward. Contractors, all of you should help Rivers State so that Rivers State can be what it used to be, the foundation Dr. Peter Odili laid.

“So I thank all of you, and I dedicate this award to God Almighty and to all of you who have prayed for us to achieve what we have achieved. The award is not to me. It is to all of you. I feel proud to say if the ruling party can say you have done well, who is that person? Let them come and campaign here.

“Bring your report card. I will bring the award and the certificate. President Buhari said I have done well.”

The governor also said he has never promised anybody in the state that he/she would become the next governor of the state.

“I told my people it is God that gives power. There is never any day I sat with anybody. I challenge whoever would say he sat with me, and I promised him he would be the governor.

“If anybody can come out and challenge me, I will resign as Governor of Rivers State.”

“You want to become Governor? Is there anybody who dashed me governor? I worked, I fought for it. You, go and fight.”

Wike, therefore, urged that people should keep agreements reached with anyone.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
