2023: See How Much Political Parties Will Pay Before They Hold Rallies In Rivers

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has signed Executive Order 21 to prohibit the use of public schools for political parties without approval from the Ministry of Education.

He also said the application for approval must be submitted at least two weeks before the date of the campaign.

Wike stressed that a local council chairman had the right to stop any rally if approval was not sought.

He also warned that the state government would not allow political parties and their supporters to disturb the peace in the state, as the campaigns begin.

The Rivers State leader advised candidates for next year’s election to be committed, peaceful, and responsible in their conduct as required by law.
