Wike breaks silence on Supreme Court judgement over Rivers LG Election, Assembly crisis
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Friday hailed the Supreme Court’s ruling, which nullified the recent local government elections in Rivers State and upheld the legitimacy of the 27-member Martin Amaewhule-led State Assembly.
Speaking in Abuja after the judgment, Wike declared that the apex court’s decision has effectively ended the reign of crisis in Rivers State.
Wike also took a swipe at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, accusing them of supporting lawlessness in the state.
