Is Rivers the only state that runs the local government system? If your postulation is even imagined then, the NASS can as well extend the tenure of the president and the HOA of any state can extend the tenure of a governor.
Why will the national assembly extend the tenure of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

In Nigeria on return to democrazy in 1999, mention the time that a presidential election was not held when it was expected to, leaving a lacuna?

Only ignorant ones, hyping in ignorance claim not to be aware that state Governors purposely don’t hold elections when due in other put their stooges in to power undemocratically.

The Rivers state house of assembly has passed a law, checkmating such actions of the Governor, ard you are complaining?

If the state does not want the elected local government officials tenure extended by operation of law, conduct elections as of when due simple.

OBJ attempted to extend his tenure as a sitting president but he failed. Go and find out why he didn't succeed.


Appointing a chairman of RSIEC is currently under the office of the governor. Funding RSIEC is also directly under the hand of the governor of the state. I was hoping the RSHOA would have passed a law to remove RSIEC from the control of the governor then fund RSIEC to organise the election by themselves rather than extend their tenure which is unconstitutional

Please stop exhibiting your ignorance, how can dey pass a law to remove the RSIEC from control of the Governor, when it is the constitution an act of the National Assembly that gives the governor that power over the RSIEC?

Abi are you not aware that when laws passed by a state house of assembly, & laws passed by the national house of assembly clash, the National Assembly shall always prevail?

They have passed a law to checkmate the state governor from replacing elected officials after their tenure is over, if he doesn’t like it, conduct elections, or leave the elected people there.

Now you see how ignorant you guys are. I only twisted the point and you just exposed the fact of the matter. How can a state HOA extend or attempt to tamper with an Act of the NASS? Any so-called checkmate can only come from the NASS period. Now that there's a clash, only that of the NASS can stand and if there's no extention of office for the Chairmen for any reasonable or unreasonable cause whatsoever in the ACT of the NASS then that of the State is a nullity

Even secondary school students know that when a governor or president withholds his assent to a bill, it can be overrided by the lawmakers and passed into law. The problem is that most of you lack knowledge of the things you argue about and just support blindly.

No one is extending anything, they have passed a law that if for any reason the state fails to conduct local government elections the elected officials should remain until same is conducted, this is to compel the mandatory guarantee of elected local government officials as enshrined in the constitution of 1999 as amended, & stop the State Governor from appointing stooges into those positions.

Nigeria’s problem is that most don’t use their heads for analytics, they prefer to assume out of ignorance, that is why they say the white man has hidden knowledge in volumes of books, because he knows the black man will not read.

Governors have been appointing caretaker chairmen both in APC and PDP states, e reach Fubara turn, una remember 1999 constitution. He who come to equity must come with clean hands. The assembly has no power to do such. When their terms end and elections are not done, the governor will appoint caretakers, the assembly can then take him to court to compel him to conduct the elections.

They are just afraid of the governor putting his loyalist in those positions to solidify their power before conducting the elections. The governor will have his way.

If no be ignorance dey worry you, why will governor pick local government officials abi isn’t the constitution clear that the local government must be democratically elected?

You yourself has admitted that it is illegal, but because other governors in the past got away with the illegality they should allow the puppet Fubara to continue with his own abi?

Sorry but the people that put that Fubara Mumu there, are far wiser than the purported houseboy Governor.

Law way they done already pass? Why Fubara go Court go complain, abi you no read the headline of the thread way you dey inside?

Or you think say the argument is based on personal sentiments?

Abi no be the state house of assembly dey make laws for Rivers state? Or point to the law that gives the governor the powers to select local government officials?

The constitution of 1999 as Amended prescribes that local government officials must be elected, not selected.

Ignorance na bad thing sha, ruled on indeed.

The court presided over by G.N. Okonkwo also ordered that the claimant/applicant would enter into an undertaking to indemnify the defendants in the sum of N5million should the substantive case turned out to be frivolous.

Why would anyone think of extending tenure of LGA chairmen. Wike must be Mad

Is the governor ready to conduct election? No.

This is actually one of the problems he started with Wike which was totally unnecessary and uncalled for.

He assumed office and just within 2 months, he wants to sack the elected chairmen and appoint caretakers, because he wants to build 'his own structure'. These people were in the trenches and made him governor without him making any input so why not work with them, even if its for his first term or at least conduct a normal election at the end of their tenure? Why the desperation when there's nothing at stake?

Wike and his people said he should wait for their tenure to expire and then conduct election but he didn't want that.

Now, their tenure is expiring and he is not making any plan to conduct election because his plan is still in appointing caretakers that he hopes will be loyal to him, based on the advise he got from people that Wike and his group fought to put him there. What do u call that?

He's behaving like a demonic child who believes his existence means the death of his mother. Fubara wants to politically kill people who made him governor for no justifiable reason.
