Senator Backs Demolition of Hotels by Wike
A member of the National Assembly, Senator Thompson Sekibo, has lent his voice to support the recent demolition of two hotels in Eleme by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state.
His words: “Being a lawyer, I don’t think he will just wake up leave Port Harcourt, where there are many hotels, and move to Eleme and target just two hotels to destroy. Maybe, something criminal or anti-public interest was being done there. I believe that he will follow due process and he may have followed the due process because I don’t know all the laws in the state”.
“So a person who commits kidnapping and related criminal activity may have his property confiscated. If a property is confiscated based on the application of the laws of the State that is the law and you can’t fault the Governor based on that”. He also submitted that “the law has to take its full course on whoever owns an hotel and he is contravening the lockdown order or any of the laws of the state, the governor is a democrat and he is a lawyer.
