WIKE ARRIVES PORT HARCOURT AFTER SUPREME COURT VICTORY
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has made a triumphant return to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, following a landmark Supreme Court ruling in his favor.
The court’s decision has dealt a significant blow to the administration of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Central Bank of Nigeria should withhold monthly disbursements to Rivers State until a lawful Appropriation Law is enacted under the speakership of Martin Amaewhule. Additionally, the court declared the Rivers local government election illegal, further complicating the political landscape in the state.
Wike’s spokesperson announced his arrival in Port Harcourt, saying “Nyerisi has landed in Port Harcourt.”
This development is likely to exacerbate the ongoing political tensions in the state, with Governor Fubara facing increased pressure to respond to the Supreme Court’s ruling.
The Rivers State House of Assembly has welcomed the Supreme Court judgment, urging Governor Fubara to respect the ruling.
The Assembly praised the Supreme Court justices for their well-considered judgment, which affirmed the legitimacy of the current Assembly members and Martin Chike Amaewhule as the Speaker.
