2. The power to make or ammend the law governing Local Govts resides with the state Assembly.

The Rivers State High Court has invalidated the amended Local Government Law proposed by the Martins Amaewhule faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly.


The ruling was delivered in a suit numbered PHC/1320/CS/2024, which challenged the extension of tenure for LG chairmen for six months after the expiration of their term.

Justice D.G. Kio, presiding over the case, declared the amendment invalid, citing its inconsistency with the 1999 Constitution and Section 9(1) of the Rivers State Local Government law No. 5 of 2018.


The court emphasized that the applicable law governing the tenure of local government chairmen and councillors is the Rivers State Local Government Law No. 5 of 2018, which stipulates a three-year tenure.

The attempt to extend their tenure through the enactment of the Local Government Law No. 2 of 2024 was deemed unlawful and contrary to their oath of office.

The ruling marks a victory for Enyiada Cookey-Gam and six others who challenged the extension, asserting the primacy of constitutional principles in governance.

Fubara is wasting time. This is an opportunity to sack all LG chairmen in Rivers and appoint his loyalists as caretaker chairmen…if he doesn’t know how to starve state legislators of funds and chase them out of the state, he should ask otunba gbenga daniels or chimaroke nnamani for a template afterall the current state of emilokan lawlessness is the most appropriate and golden time in Nigeria to engage in civil lawlessness as all the institutions including judiciary are now dead or open to highest bidder courtesy of tinubu’s example
