The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has accused Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, of defying a court judgment.
Wike made this statement during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday.
He claimed that disregarding court rulings could lead to chaos and the breakdown of law and order.
“I was a governor, I have always obeyed the rule of law. You heard the governor say that our state is turning into a state of anarchy where people do not obey the rule of law.
“You must obey the judgment of the court. You must not take the law into your own hands. The moment you don’t obey court judgment, you are inviting anarchy, you are inviting violence,” Wike said.
Wike also accused Fubara of publicly declaring on national television that he would not comply with a court judgment.
The minister also criticised his successor for his comments regarding the police providing security for the local government election in Rivers State.
