Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike on Wednesday said he will jail any politician disobeying the state’s Executive Orders 21 and 22.
Wike gave the warning during the inauguration of the Ahoada-Omoku dual carriageway at the Ahoada State School in the Ahoada East Local Government Area.
According to the governor, the Executive Orders were designed to avoid political parties, also the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), from using public school premises for their political rallies without requisite approval and payment of N5 million non-refundable security fee.
Wike stated that some politicians were ready to disobey Executive Orders since the Army and Police were on their side.
He hence promised such politicians that they would end up at the correctional centre should they disobey his order.
He said:
“I didn’t say nobody should use primary and secondary schools for campaigns.
“All I have said is if you want to use primary and secondary schools for your campaigns, you deposit money.
“This is so that when you’ve used the place and spoil anything in the school, government will use the money to repair those things you spoilt and clean up the school.
“There are those who say that they would disobey and no person will do anything.
“If you do disobey, you know where you will be.”
