Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that the emergency rule declared in the state by President Bola Tinubu will expire on September 18.

He disclosed this after casting his vote in the ongoing local government election in the state.

He explained that the expiration of the emergency rule would pave the way for the state House of Assembly to resume its legislative duties.

“As far as we are concerned, this election is peaceful, people are trooping out and at the end of the day the election has been conducted successfully and peacefully.

“I do know that by September 18, the state of emergency will expire and the state assembly will come back to their job and we will have a government at the grassroots level,” Mr Wike said.

According to him, the conditions were right for lifting the state of emergency since both state and local governments now had representation.

He added, “The coast is clear for the state of emergency to be lifted, being that the state government has its representative and the local government has its representatives, so we are good to go.”

“I do know that by September 18, the state of emergency will expire and the state assembly will come back to their job and we will have a government at the grassroots level,” the former governor of Rivers said.
