Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike of Rivers state has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is inviting anarchy by his disobedience to an order of the Supreme Court of Nigeria on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Naira redesign policy.
Wike in Ngo town, for a campaign rally of Rivers Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Andoni Local Government Area maintained his disapproval of the suffering the masses have to bear over the naira redesign.
He said, "I believe in a country that respects the rule of law. The president ought to respect the Supreme Court and when you do not respect the Supreme Court then it is anarchy you are talking about.
"So, we from Rivers State condemn the position of Mr. President for not respecting the decision of the Supreme Court."
He said if for any reason a policy of government is challenged in court, the right thing to do is to exhaust the legal options or better still discontinue such policy implementation.
"We want a democracy and there cannot be democracy without the rule of law. Therefore, any candidate who is in support of the policy when the people are suffering, we will not support that candidate.
"Any policy you have to implement, you have to weigh it because you are put there for the people. If your policy is going to suffer the people, then think twice", he said.
Rivers State PDP governorship candidate, Sir. Siminialayi Fubara urged Andoni people at the rally to vote for him and the consolidation team to continue the New Rivers Vision.
