Former Deputy Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Leyii Kwanee, has slammed the state Governor, Nyesom Wike, over recent signing of Executive Order 21, which prohibits political parties from organising rallies, events in public schools.
Reacting, yesterday, in Port Harcourt after unveiling the deputy governorship candidate of the party, Mrs Brassba Jack, Kwanee said the coming campaign appeared threatened by obnoxious restrictions and regulations issued by the state government, but vowed that his party would not be distracted. “As a party, we view Executive Order 21 as a quest to monopolise political power through monopolising political activities and space in the state. However, we are committed to obeying legitimate laws of the land as we cannot trade security of lives and properties of people living and doing business in the state for anything.
He lamented perceived shift by political leaders in the state from established values and performance standards set by founding fathers that promoted unity, peace, equity and prosperity of the state, describing the degradation of values as a great concern to him.
