A South-South leader and Convener of the South-South Reawakening Group (SSRG), Joseph Ambakederimo, has cautioned that the Supreme Court ruling on Rivers State has serious consequences if the state government fails to comply with the verdict.
Papers News reports that Ambakederimo’s advice followed Friday’s apex court judgment, which declared the council polls conducted in the state on October 5, 2024, invalid.
The apex court also ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Accountant-General of the Federation to stop monthly federal allocation to local governments in the state.
