The Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, issued Executive Order 22. The Labour Party has stated that it is unacceptable.
It is a formula for “anarchy” in the state, according to Felix Reuben, South-South National Vice Chairman of the Labour party, who was speaking to reporters in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
He emphasised that the residents of Rivers must not permit the governor’s order to stand.
Political parties are forbidden from using buildings in residential areas as campaign offices by Executive Order 22.
“If Rivers State keeps quiet, Wike will put Executive Order 23 which will say for you to sleep with your wife you need to take permission from the Ministry of Women Affairs.
“He may even put another executive order that says any sticker on vehicles without permission from the Ministry of Transport, that vehicle will be impounded.
“It’s very unfortunate that we have a governor that wants to sink the state and I call on the security agencies and INEC to call him to order because what he’s calling for is anarchy in this state,” he said.
Speaking further he noted that executive orders have no place in the laws of Nigeria.
