Nigeria Needs The Likes Of Wike -Birabi
Former Senator and Chairman of the Special reception and Chieftaincy installation of Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike by the Ogonis in Bori last Saturday, Dr. Benneth Birabi says Nigeria needs the likes of Wike as leaders.
Birabi spoke against the backdrop of poor governance and purposeful leadership now bedraggling the nation.
He described Chief Wike as a man of poise, purpose and who can speak truth to power.
In his words, “ Nyesom Wike has remained the glimmer of hope such that he can speak truth to power and remain alive.”
The ex -Senator urged the governor not to relent but to keep his mind open for the future, since his likes can help steer the nation ahead.
Commending the governor for his developmental efforts, Birabi observed that”,the importance of what Wike has done is beyond infrastructure, but spiritual because he derives his strength from God.”
He praised the governor for championing the unity of Ogoniland but urged the need for the development of an agro-economy that would transform the people.
Earlier in his speech, President of Ogoni elite club , KAGOTE, Hon. Emma Deeyah praised the governor for his love for the ogoni people, which he has demonstrated through appointing their sons and daughters into position of power.
Deeyah said the reception is a reciprocation of the good gesture, love the governor has shown over the years.
He used the event to seek the renovation of schools in Ogoniland, and linking the local communities to the national grid.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
