Another Legal Battle Begins In Rivers State by kcmichael: 11:32am On Nov 09, 2015
The battle line is drawn this week between the Rivers State Government and the Sacked 22 Local government Chairmen elected on the platform of the All Progressive Congress.
The Court of Appeal will this week deliver Judgement on the Appeal brought by the elected 22 APC Chairmen whose election where declared null and void on June 9 2015 by the Judgement of Justice lambo Akanbi of the Federal High Court sitting in Portharcourt.
Recall that the former governor of Rivers State Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi had on Saturday May 23rd 2015 conducted Local Government Area election in the state prior to his exhit as governor.
That election was boycotted by the PDP on claims that a suit challenging the legality of the process was still pending at the Federal High Court.
Before The Federal High Court could deliver its judgement, a National Industrial Court gave an order of interlocotry injunction restraining the Rivers State government and all her cronies from tampering with the tenure of the Chairmen.
But on Friday June 9 2015, justice Lambo Akambi ordered the to vacate office on grounds that the election that brought them to power was an outright disobedience to law
The Appeal Court will deliver its judgement on the Appeal before Friday 13 November 2015
