Supporters of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike have staged a protest in Port Harcourt, calling on the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) to comply with a recent Federal High Court judgment regarding the ongoing local government elections.
The protest, which drew a large crowd, was organized in response to what Wike’s supporters described as irregularities in the electoral process.
This comes amidst ongoing political crisis in Rivers State over the local government election.
The demonstrators, carrying placards with messages like “Obey Court Order” and “No Justice, No Election,” expressed frustration over the conduct of the elections and demanded that RSIEC halt the polls and abide by the court’s ruling.
Recall that a recent court judgment reportedly ordered the suspension of the elections, following legal challenges to the process.
Wike’s camp called for a postponement.
However, RSIEC went ahead with the elections despite the ruling, leading to protests from Wike’s loyalists.
