Port Harcourt, Rivers state – A political analyst, Segun Akinleye, has explained “the chains of illegality sweeping over Rivers state”.
Akinleye, in an interview with TimesNow.com.ng, asserted that the present political crisis in the prominent south-south state is “a result of 2023 where Wike showed that ‘anything goes'”.
He said:
On the legality of the chairmen for the 23 local government areas (LGAs) of the state overstaying their tenure, Akinleye said Fubara is right with his decision to remove the local council bosses.
The analyst continued:
Furthermore, Akinleye stated that for the chairmen to have refused to leave office after the expiration of their tenure means that they had Wike’s backing.
He continued:
In a piece of related news, TimesNow.com.ng reported that a civil society group, New Rivers Agenda, said citizens in the state did not make mistakes voting for Governor Fubara.
The president of the group, Johnson Zinaka, accused the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike of trying to play God in the affairs of Rivers state.
