“I was a governor, and I have always obeyed the rule of law. You heard the governor say that our state is turning into a state of anarchy where people do not obey the rule of law,” said Nyesom Wike, emphasizing the critical need to respect judicial decisions.
Wike pointed out that failing to comply with court rulings invites chaos and violence. “You must obey the judgment of the court. You must not take the law into your own hands. The moment you don’t obey court judgment, you are inviting anarchy,” he stated.
He further criticized Governor Fubara for publicly declaring on national television that he would not comply with a court judgment, underscoring the implications of such actions on governance and societal order.
Wike also highlighted the essential role of police presence during elections, stating that any governor who believes elections can be successfully conducted without law enforcement support is mistaken.
