S'Court sacks Omehia, okays Amaechi as Rivers gov
The Supreme Court on Thursday removed from office Mr. Celestine Omehia as governor of Rivers State. In his stead, the court's seven Justices that sat over the suit unanimously ruled that the former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, should be sworn-in immediately as the governor of the state. The judgement was read by Justice Katsina-Alu Amaechi, who won the state governorship primaries of the Peoples Demoratic Party (PDP) last December but was later substituted with Omehia by the ruling party, had gone to both the Federal High Court annd Court of Appeal but failed in both bids to restore his mandate. Amaechi again headed for the Supreme Court to appeal the verdict of the appellant court. With Thursday's ruling, Omehia becomes the second state chief executive to be removed from office by the apex court in the current dispensation. The court had similarly removed Dr. Andy Uba from office as Anambra governor when it held that the incumbent Governor Peter Obi's tenure lapses in 2010.
