Wike revokes Atiku campaign chairman’s C of O

Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike is not letting go of his rift with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Rivers State Government revoked the Certificate of Occupancy of land allocated to former Senator Lee Maeba at the Golf Course axis of GRA in Port Harcourt.

Senator Maeba, a staunch supporter of the PDP presidential candidate, is the chairman of the party’s presidential campaign council in Rivers State.

Maeba, a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Austin Opara, former governor of the state (now de-recognised) Sir Celestine Omehia and a serving member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Chinyere Igwe, whose filling station was sealed, fell out of favour with the governor after they visited Atiku soon after his emergence as the candidate.

The revocation order was contained in a letter addressed to Senator Maeba on November 2, 2022, according to The PUNCH.

The letter was signed by Ochiagha Onyebuchi, the acting Director, Head of Department, Acquisition, Valuation and Compensation, Ministry of Lands and Survey, on behalf of the Permanent Secretary.The letter was titled “Re: Allocation of Plot 20A Golf Course Layout, Old GRA Port Harcourt.”

It read, “I am directed to inform you that your allocation at Plot 20A Golf Course Layout, old GRA, Port Harcourt, has been cancelled as shown on the attached Rivers State Official Gazette No. 22 Vol. 58, dated September 20, 2022.
