The governorship candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) in Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Leyii Kwanee, has called on the Independent National Electoral
Kwanee, who is also a former Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, made the call on Friday in Port Harcourt, while speaking with journalists against the backdrop of the Executive Order 21 recently signed into effect by Governor Nyesom Ezenwo.
He said: “We wish to commend INEC for her swift response over the undemocratic actions adopted by the outgoing Rivers State PDP-led government by the recent approval of Executive Order 21, which prohibits the use public schools and sundry places without approval from the Ministry of Education. “This order also compels political parties to deposit the sum of N5million as caution fee. Consequently, this order is capable of creating unhealthy competition and violence in the state; and is inimical to the growth of business and employment opportunities in the state.“This Executive Order 21 is aimed at monopolising the political parties and stippling political space in the state.
