Rivers guber: ‘Wait until INEC publishes list of candidates’ – Wike reacts to sacking of Chinda, others by Court
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has addressed those claiming that the court has dismissed his chosen candidate for the Rivers State governorship election, urging them to wait until the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) releases its list of candidates in July.
A court in Rivers State had reinstated leadership Beke and declared all nominations from the recently concluded party primaries in the state as null and void.
The primaries had resulted in Kingsley Chinda, a Wike ally, being selected as the governorship candidate, following the withdrawal of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Additionally, other associates of the Minister also emerged as candidates for the APC in the upcoming 2027 National Assembly and State Assembly elections.
DAILY POST reported that Justice Elfreida Oluwayemisi Williams-Dawodu of the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division, upheld the Rivers State High Court’s decision on Friday, which nullified the Congresses that led to Chief Tony Okocha’s appointment as chairman of the APC in the state.
