The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, was captured in a video praising God after the Supreme Court’s ruling, which nullified the recent local government elections in Rivers State and upheld the legitimacy of the 27-member Martin Amaewhule-led State Assembly.

Speaking in Abuja after the judgment on Friday, Wike declared that the apex court’s decision has effectively ended the reign of crisis in Rivers State.

The Supreme Court on Friday made the pronouncement stopping the Central Bank of Nigeria from releasing funds to the Rivers State government until the 1999 Constitution properly constituted the Rivers House of Assembly.

A five-member panel of the Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision delivered by Justice Emmanuel Akomaye Agim, declared that no funds should be disbursed to the Rivers State Government until a lawful Appropriation Act is enacted in the state.
