Supporters of Nyesom Wike, the former Rivers State governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, staged a protest in Port Harcourt, calling on the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission to comply with a recent 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.
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.
The protest was sparked by a recent judgment by the Rivers State High Court, which ordered the suspension of the elections due to procedural flaws in the organization and scheduling of the elections.
Despite the ruling, RSIEC went ahead with the elections, leading to protests from Wike’s loyalists.
