The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has urged the state governor, Siminialayi Fubara, to obey court order which restricted the conduct of local government elections in the state.
This is as it warned the governor of the consequences of disobeying the Federal High Court judgment outlawing the conduct of October 5, local government elections. The PDP said that nobody should participate in or allow the conduct of any local government elections that deviated from the court’s judgment. The state chairman of the party, Chukwuemeka Aaron, stressed that participating in or conducting elections contrary to the court’s judgment would be unlawful.
Aaron restated the party’s commitment to upholding the rule of law, adding that the RSIEC and the State government could not choose which court orders to obey or ignore, calling on Rivers state governor, a PDP member, to comply fully with the court’s judgment. “The PDP, having reviewed all the cases relating to the local government elections, concludes as follows: we cannot support or promote lawlessness, or impunity in any forms whatsoever even though we are the ruling party in Rivers state.
