Nyesom Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Saturday, expressed optimism that the state of emergency in Rivers State will end on September 18, 2025.

Wike said that, with the expiration, the Rivers State Assembly is expected to resume its duties.

He spoke after casting his vote in the ongoing local government election in Rivers State.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had declared emergency rule in Rivers State to prevent the outbreak of a political crisis. Tinubu had suspended Governor Sim Fubara, his deputy, and the State House of Assembly for six months.

However, Wike said: “As far as we are concerned, this election is peaceful, people are trooping out and at the end of the day the election has been conducted successfully and peacefully.

“I do know that by September 18, the state of emergency will expire and the state assembly will come back to their job and we will have a government at the grassroots level.”


He said further: "The coast is clear for the state of emergency to be lifted, being that the state government has its representative and the local government has its representatives, so we are good to go.”
