I have received calls from several prominent Nigerians on the fake news being circulated online. I have come here with Reporters and you can see there was no Mosque here.
It is most unfortunate that fickle minded persons will claim that a Mosque was demolished at this place, when no Mosque existed here. The story was concocted by mischief makers to score cheap points.
Some persons came here to erect illegal structure. There was no approval from the State Government for any structure to be erected here.
The persons who started the foundation had already dragged the State Government to court on the disputed land. The Rivers State Government won the case. What they attempted to do was to start the illegal construction to tie the hands of the State Government .
The Muslim Community in Rivers State should show me where a Mosque was demolished in the State. Do not to allow yourselves to be used by politicians to peddle false stories against the Rivers State Government..
The State Government operates within the rule of law. The State Government will not be distracted by the illegal circulation of fake reports.
Several Mosques constructed on the approval of the State Government exist across Port Harcourt and other major towns of Rivers State, without the State Government demolishing them.
The government gave them notice not to do anything on the land. But they went ahead with the illegal foundation and the relevant agency stopped them.

STATE BROADCAST BY
HIS EXCELLENCY NYESOM EZENWO WIKE, CON, GSSRS, POS
ON THE RECENT SECURITY BREACHES IN RIVERS STATE.
My dear people of Rivers State
On 28th April 2021, the Rivers State Security Council, in consideration of the recent murderous attacks on security personnel in Ikwerre and Abua/Odual Local Government Areas imposed a night-time curfew on our land borders with other States.
2. A review of the present security situation shows that the threat
of further deadly attacks on hard and soft targets across the State still exists.

On NDDC: The commission has abandoned its core mandate and leaving those who canvassed for its establishment disillusioned.
2) I don't like talking about NDDC. It is unfortunate that those who fought for it, if they knew that this is how NDDC will be, I don't think that they would have even asked for it.
3) Over the years various National Assembly committees on NDDC have not provided sufficient direction that will make the commission focus on its core mandate of developing the region.

Nigerians are disappointed with the National Assembly for confirming sacked Service Chiefs as ambassadors.

I wonder why Senators who agreed with Nigerians when they decried the poor performance of the Service Chiefs will sit to cleared them for another appointment.
2) Let me use this opportunity to express the dismay of most Nigerians to the Senate. Convey this to the Senate. We must be courageous in whatever we are doing. Everything must not be party affairs.
3) You (Senators) sat and discussed that they should dismiss the service chiefs. You said they're not performing.

Now the same people who were not performing, you have confirmed them as ambassadors. What kind of country are we?

9. Furthermore, the Rivers State Government is seriously disturbed by the recent upsurge of cult activities and related violence and killings around the adjoining areas of the Okoro-nodu flyover in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area.

#Broadcast
10. We have repeatedly warned misguided youths that engaging in cultism is abhorrent anti-social behaviour in our society.
11. We shall therefore spare no efforts to deal appropriately with anyone who decides to disturb peace and security in our neighbourhoods with cult activities and associated violence and killings.

My Dear Good People of Rivers State.

2. As you know our promise to construct and five flyovers to ease the perennial traffic challenges and accelerate socio-economic development of the State is well on course.

#Broadcast
3. We delivered and commissioned the first of the initial five flyovers, (the Rebisi flyover) to the glory of God and the good of our State, while construction work on the rest has reached advanced levels of completion.
4. Indeed, the Okoro-nu-do flyover is next on the line to be delivered and commissioned, latest, in the first quarter of 2021.
