The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chapter in Rivers State has hailed the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state for its decision to withdraw a suit filed against Governor Nyesom Wike for introducing Order 22.
The Rivers State government had announced the signing of Executive Order 22, prohibiting the use of premises, buildings and structures in residential areas in urban and non-urban areas as campaign offices by political parties.

A spokesman for the Consolidation of the New Rivers Vision Campaign Council, Rt. Hon Ogbonna Nwuke, in a statement in Port Harcourt yesterday, said the APC’s resolve to withdraw the suit was borne out of the understanding that the matter brought before Justice Emmanuel Obile was frivolous, defective and baseless.
“We want to congratulate the APC for doing what is right by withdrawing a frivolous and inconsequential suit brought against Orders 21 and 22,” the party said.
