• Appeal Court sets aside two judgments, rules in favour of ADP, ADC Assembly candidatesOpposition parties in Rivers State have urged the ruling Peoples Democratic Party ’s governorship candidate and immediate past Rivers State Accountant-General, Siminialayi Fubara, who has been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , to present himself to the anti-corruption agency, stating that he cannot be above the law.
He stated that SDP in Rivers is not scared or requesting for any walkover in the governorship elections, adding that they have the mandate of the people and they look forward to winning with their candidate, Senator Magnus Abe. “Making himself available to EFCC is good for his own credibility and the credibility of the government he served. He cannot be above the law as to resist any lawful invitation.
The group, in the suit numbered FHC/ABJ/CS/1399/2022, asked the court to mandate the Justice Commissioner to immediately arrest Fubara, who is also the immediate-past Accountant-General of Rivers, over his pending fraud case before EFCC. Such candidates, Wike noted, are only desperately going about collecting money from people in the guise of preparing for election when they know they are not in the race to win.
MEANWHILE, the Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt has set aside two Federal High Court judgments that invalidated the nominations of Action Democratic Party and African Democratic Congress state House of Assembly candidates in Rivers.
