Peter Obi speaks on Rivers crisis
Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, has called for reversing the court’s judgment to stop CBN from releasing the Rivers state allocation.
The Federal High Court in Abuja issued the order regarding the state government’s failure to comply with a court order on the legitimacy of the faction of the state House of Assembly.
Rivers has been experiencing a political crisis since Governor Siminalayi Fubara resumed office and had a rift with his godfather, Nyesom Wike.
