Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has praised the Supreme Court’s ruling on Friday, 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 judgement, Wike declared that the apex court’s decision had effectively ended the reign of impunity in Rivers State.
According to Wike, “Governor Siminalayi Fubara has no choice but to fully comply with the Supreme Court’s verdict, as it represents the final legal authority on the matter.”
The ruling marks a major development in the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State, reinforcing the authority of the Amaewhule-led Assembly while nullifying the controversial local government elections.
