[b]From the 1999 Constitution; Part II (Concurrent Legislative List) Extent of Federal and State Legislative powers; Section 11 & 12 11. The National Assembly may make laws for the Federation with respect to the registration of voters and the procedure regulating elections to a local government council. 12. Nothing in paragraph 11 hereof shall preclude (prevent) a House of Assembly from making laws with respect to election to a local government council in addition to but not inconsistent with any law made by the National Assembly. The RSHOA must therefore be allowed to carry out their Legislative functions that they were elected to perform which also includes probing the conduct of LG elections in their state. The recent election that only APC participated in three days to the end of former governor Amaechi's tenure must be dissolved by the RSHOA. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court judgment of Abia state which these LG Chairmen and their supporters are relying on averred that a 'Governor' does not have the Powers to ‘unilaterally’ dissolve elected chairmen. Nothing of that judgment ever said the HOA does not have such powers to dissolve. Since APC wants to test their popularity in Rivers State, the RSHOA should dissolve the current LG Council, constitute a new RSIEC and conduct a fresh election where all parties would participate and test their popularity and any party that feels dissatisfied with the conduct can approach the LG election tribunals. RSHOA will and as a matter of urgency dissolve all the LG Chairmen and their Councilors in the interest of the state and if they (the dissolved LG Chairmen and APC) feel dissatisfied, they should go to Court and get a fresh interpretation from the Court. The State HOA have such powers to dissolve especially when it is established that the elections were marred with irregularities, were poorly organized or some parties feel they were disenfranchised. Today APC Senators are threatening to go to Court to nullify the emergency of Sen. Bukola Saraki cos they feel they were disenfranchised during the Senate election. Why shouldn't PDP do same against the LG election in Rivers State .[/b] |
