The Supreme Court of Nigeria is set to rule today, February 28, on four crucial cases tied to the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State. These cases, which have been at the center of a legal showdown between the Rivers State House of Assembly and the state government, are expected to have a significant impact on governance in the state.
The pending cases before the apex court include:
SC/CV/1174/2024 – Rivers State House of Assembly & others vs. Rivers State Government & nine others.
SC/CV/1175/2024 – Rivers State House of Assembly & others vs. Rivers State Governor & nine others.
SC/CV/1176/2024 – Rivers State House of Assembly & others vs. Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) & nine others.
SC/CV/1177/2024 – Rivers State House of Assembly & others vs. Accountant General of Rivers State & nine others.
This comes after the Supreme Court recently dismissed a related case, SC/CV/1071/2024, filed by the Rivers Assembly against the National Assembly and 16 others.
