The Supreme Court on Friday delivered two of three judgements that favoured the loyalists of Nyesom Wike rebelling against the leadership of Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers state, while the top court neglected to immediately rule on the third matter that might give the governor an edge.
The apex court reserved a ruling on appeals that could give Mr Fubara political mileage in his state, leaving him politically vulnerable after two strings of losses to his adversaries.
The last judgement, which could have favoured Mr Fubara because of the affidavit and oath sworn to by the rebellious lawmakers announcing their defection from PDP to APC, was sidestepped for judgment at a later date.
The delay in judgment might have opened a loophole for the lawmakers to impeach Mr Fubara when they reconvene, following the court’s order reinstating Martin Amaewhule as the state assembly speaker.
Already, the governor only has four lawmakers on his side, while the remaining 28 have pledged fealty to his predecessor and archenemy, Mr Wike.
