A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State, Sir. Celestine Omehia has reportedly dragged the Rivers State Government to Court following his derecognition as Governor of the state.
Sources say Omehia wants the state government to pay for damages.
Omehia, who was recognized by Gov. Nyesom Wike as a former governor of the state, was few weeks ago derecognized for allegedly supporting Atiku Abubakar against the wish of Gov. Wike.
However, Gov. Wike had in a statement said the derecognition is not political as the Assembly only realized that recognizing Omehia was a mistake and decided to correct it.
Recall that Wike had during the commissioning of projects in the state threatened to finish anyone who leaves them for their enemies.
