Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Saturday described the Rivers State Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, as illegal.
Atiku warned the Nigerian government about the implications
of an illegal sole administrator conducting local government election in Rivers
State.
He was reacting to the condemnation of the proposed local
government election in Rivers State by an elder statesman, Atedo Peterside.
Peterside warned the Nigerian government against making
nonsense of Nigeria’s democracy with the local government election.
Reacting, Atiku condemned the planned local council polls.
Posting on X, he wrote: “It is in one’s interest to help put
out the fire in your neighbour’s house to safeguard against your house being
torched.
“I agree that what is playing out in Rivers State, with an
illegal sole administrator, unknown to our constitution, conducting council
elections, has implications for the rest of the country.
“I join other men and women of goodwill to condemn this
absurdity unequivocally.”
