Rivers State government has announced harsh sanctions for violators of Executive Order 21, which requires anyone holding political rallies in Rivers to seek state approval through the commissioner for education, at least two weeks before such rally in an application that must be accompanied with a nonrefundable N5million.
Governor Nyesom Wike had during a broadcast to the state unveiled the executive order 21 and enjoined political parties and candidates standing for election in 2023, to avoid acts or conducts that could instigate political tensions in the state.
