Vecause its final does not mean that they made the right judgement. We all know how the judiciary has been used in the poclet of politicians just to achieve their selfish aims.

The dancing governor his just a clown. Why not just relax and let the people finish with their tenure before conducting another election.

The Supreme Court has reserved its judgement on an appeal the All Progressives Congress, APC, filed to nullify the outcome of the local government elections held in Rivers State on October 5, 2024.

While the APC, through its lawyer, Mr. J. B. Daudu, SAN, urged the Supreme Court to set aside the November 21, 2024, judgement of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, which declined to invalidate the election, Mr. Yusuf Ali, SAN, who announced appearance for Governor Siminalaye Fubara and Chief
Chris Uche, SAN, who is counsel to the

Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, urged the court to dismiss the appeal.

It will be recalled that the appellate court vacated the judgement that barred the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from releasing the voter register to the RSIEC for the conduct of LG polls.

A special panel of the appellate court had faulted the Federal High Court in Abuja for barring security agencies from providing security during the elections.

The Justice Onyekachi Otisi-led panel had, in a unanimous decision, held that the lower court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain a suit against the Rivers State LG elections.

According to the appellate court, section 28 of the Electoral Act does not cover elections conducted by states but only federal elections, governorship, and area council elections in the Federal Capital Territory.

Justice Peter Lifu of the high court had, on the strength of a suit that was filed by the APC, stopped the conduct of the Rivers State LG election.
The trial court held that the RSIEC erred by fixing a date for the conduct of polls in the 23 local government areas without strict compliance with relevant laws guiding such elections.

Justice Lifu noted that RSIEC failed to publish the 90-day mandatory notice before it scheduled the election.

Besides, he held that the update and revision of the voters register to be used for the election ought to have been concluded before any valid date could be fixed for the polls.

Justice Lifu ordered INEC not to make the certified voters register available to RSIEC, pending when the relevant laws were complied with.

He further barred RSIEC from accepting any voters register from INEC or using the same for the purpose of the LG polls.

The Edo State Government has written to the Governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to initiate the formation of his transition team.

The transition team when formed will interface o interface with the transition team of the outgoing administration.

The Secretary to the State Government, Joseph Eboigbe, in a letter dated 10 October, 2024, noted that establishing the team will allow both parties to begin meaningful discussions and share vital information that will ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and continuity of governance.

The letter was received by an administrative secretary at the Secretariat of the Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Mr. Joy Oyere, but had been responded to.

The letter read: “I hope this message finds you in great spirits. As we prepare for the transition of power, we believe it is crucial to establish a smooth and effective collaboration between your team and our current administration.

“To facilitate this process, we invite you and your party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), to initiate the formation of your transition team at your earliest convenience.

“Establishing this team will allow us to begin meaningful discussions and share vital information that will ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and continuity of governance.”

Eboigbe further noted: “We are committed to providing you with the necessary support and resources to make this transition as effective and efficient as possible. Consequently, 14th October, 2024 is proposed for the inaugural meeting for members of both Transition Committees.”


“We look forward to your prompt response and to working closely with you and your team in the coming weeks. Together, we can set the foundation for a successful administration that meets the expectations of our constituents. Thank you for your attention,” he added.

Recall that in July 2024, the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, had inaugurated a 20-member transition committee chaired by Mr. Joseph Eboigbe, to pilot the smooth transition of power and knowledge to the next administration.
