FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and his associates gathered at his home in Abuja to thank God after the Supreme Court gave a judgment favoring his political camp.
The court ruled to reinstate 27 lawmakers who had defected and also stopped the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from releasing funds to the Rivers State government until the state budget is presented to the reinstated lawmakers.
This decision is seen as a major win for Wike, who has been in a power struggle with his successor, Governor Sim Fubara. The reinstatement of the lawmakers strengthens Wike’s influence in the state’s political affairs.
The political tension in Rivers State has been ongoing, with both sides trying to gain control. With this judgment, the next steps in the state’s governance will be closely watched.
