Men, women, children were under heavy<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">rain with their property.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;This act of the Rivers State Government is inhuman, oppressive,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">heartless, and an abuse of right to shelter. Abonnema Wharf is one of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the over 40 waterfronts communities scattered across Port Harcourt, the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">capital of Rivers State, which houses over 80 per cent of the city<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">residents.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;The State Government has brandished the communities as nests of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">criminals that must be demolished. Governor Rotimi Amaechi claimed that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the demolition is part of the urban renewal policy and also to check<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">activities of criminally-minded individuals who use the water-fronts as<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">operational bases.&#8221; Please note the date.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">We are even at a loss to fathom how Dakuku Peterside could so quickly<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">have forgotten that his APC govt not only demolished Abonnema Water<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">front, but also Njemanze, Elechi Beach and Nanka waterfronts.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Dakuku Peterside even went ahead in his puerile epistle to state<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">shamelessly that: &#8220;shelter was a right and fundamental to the welfare,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">survival and health of man and Governor Wike\u2019s action against the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">waterfront residents is against all Universal Laws and Conventions on<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Human Rights and Habitation, including the United Nations Human<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Settlement Programme, UN-Habitat, United Nations Housing Rights<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Programme, UNHRP, the 1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Nigeria\u2019s Policy on Housing&#8221;; as if these organizations and statutes<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">did not exist in 2012 when his administration was destroying Abonnema<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Wharf waterfront and all the others.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Of course nobody accused the then Governor of plans to convert those<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Waterfronts to personal use, so why is Dakuku Peterside now speaking<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">from both sides of his mouth? This hypocrisy by Dakuku and his ilk is<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">simply getting too much.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">To set the records straight, Governor Nyesom Wike, in his New year 2022<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">message to Rivers People, stated clearly, amongst other far reaching<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">measures to curtail the activities of criminals in the state, that:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Indeed, there is no denying the fact that crime and criminality have<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">been at very low rates in Rivers State and citizens felt safer and more<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">secure in 2021 than the previous years.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;With the cooperation of the security agencies we identified and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">destroyed most of the shanties that hitherto served as safe havens and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">hideouts for criminals, who have now been dislodged and dislocated from<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">the State having lost the space and capacity from which they could<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">operate with ease.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;To consolidate on the gains of the dislodgement and dislocation<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">exercises, and make the State even safer and more secure, we have<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">decided to demolish all shanties and makeshift structures in identified<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">crime hotspots in Port Harcourt Township and the Illoabuchi areas of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Diobu from the second week of January 2022.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Rivers people will recall even, that in August 2015, the Rivers State<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Government signed into law, the Anti-kidnapping bill, which was later<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">amended in 2018, and from which the authority to move in and destroy<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">everything that aids and promotes criminality in the State, including<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">residences and hideouts, is derived.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Subsequently, a robust and determined action plan has been deployed to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">destroy criminal hideouts, shanties and makeshift structures located in<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">notoriously infiltrated areas along Elele to Ahoada expanse of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">East-West Road, Onne, Eleme and other flashpoint areas.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Of course, nobody accused the Governor at that time, of plans to convert<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">these areas to personal ownership, but now that Government&#8217;s efforts<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">have yielded tremendous success, to the point that even criminals were<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">already coming to terms with the reality that Rivers State was too hot<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">for them, the detractors have come up with another misleading slant and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">narrative to bad mouth the pragmatic, focused and unrelenting actions of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Governor Wike in ridding the state of criminals and maintaining the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">sustainable peace and security which the state is enjoying presently.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">We must stress categorically here that Governor Wike is not one to play<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">to the gallery or engage in deceitful, populist grandstanding where<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">important issues are concerned.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He has always believed firmly in the principle that whatever is worth<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">doing at all in the interest and welfare of the people, is worth doing<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">well and that is why he will go to great lengths and most times with<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">admirable courage and fearlessness, no matter whose ox is gored, to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">ensure that the right thing is not only done, but is seen to be done<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">practically.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Governor Nyesom Wike is far bigger than what people like Dakuku<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Peterside will say and no amount of distraction by those who cry<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">crocodile tears over the action to dislodge criminals from the state and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">have refused to remove the log in their own eyes for political reasons,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">will deter or dissuade him from his avowed commitment to deliver<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">quality, functional and result oriented leadership and governance to<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Rivers people.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Nsirim is the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Rivers<\/div>\n<div
