The Supreme Court has scheduled February 10, 2025, to hear two separate suits filed by the All Progressives Congress, challenging the validity of the local government elections conducted in Rivers State in 2024.
The date was determined by a five-member panel of Justices of the Supreme Court, after addressing all preliminary issues raised by the parties involved in the legal disputes.
The crisis in that state erupted in October 2023 when a faction loyal to the former governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, attempted to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara, but Fubara stormed the Assembly complex and sealed it off.
