I absolutely don't know what the police are doing. Arrest those who want to continue to parade themselves as chairmen when their tenure have expired instead of pampering them. Provide security for the constituted authorities to carry on their work. That's simple.

It's simple! If elected, you must leave after your tenure. Nigerian Politicians can destroy any and every institution if given the opportunity.

Then conduct elections before such tenure expires!!!

FGN mobilises INEC for elections, and they are somewhat independent, well funded to act as at when due.

State Government should do same for state electoral commissions...fund them adequately for them to conduct elections as at when due.

You can't say it's constitutional on one hand and you refused to give the SIEC the needed fund to conduct elections ..while at the same time appointing caretaker chairmen. These are also unconstitutional.

Wike is a supporter and also one of those who've stolen the mandate of the good people of Rivers State in 2023 and gave it to Pablo EscoBAT
Above all, Wike is a chronic alcoholic.

If the governor failed to conduct LG elections, (which I think he should have) the next constitutional thing to do is appointment of caretaker chairmen, not tenure extension by whatever guise.

Birds of the same feather......
The same way tenure of LGAC chairmen is unconstitutional likewise putting in place CareTaker Chairmen is unconstitutional.....

That's how it is. The governor should not be speaking from both sides of their mouth and choosing what suits them.


The issue in Rivers State was that the SHAM (State House Assembly Members) preinformed the Governor to conduct LG elections so that transition from one elected LG chairman to another is smooth but the governor chooses to go the old ways of selfish and greedy leaders.

Can all the state governors conduct LG elections within 3 months of their swearing in to office rather than put Caretaker Chairmen till 7 years in office and do elections when their governorship administration is coming to an end?

Point us to where the Constitution gives the Governor the power to appoint caretaker Chairmen.

Don't mind the hypocrites.

If the Governors say they have power to appoint Caretaker Chairmen, then the President also has power to appoint Caretaker Governors.

Speaking on the political upheaval in Rivers State based on the tenure of local government chairmen, the chairman of the Southern Governors Forum, Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, said it was unconstitutional for anybody to extend the tenure of constitutionally elected public servants.
He argued that the law is very clear on the tenure of elected officials, and when the tenure expires, there is no need to extend it by whatever means.
Speaking against the backdrop of the decision of the Rivers State House of Assembly to extend the tenure of the local government chairmen in the state, but which was refused by Governor Fubara, who then went ahead to appoint caretaker chairmen, Abiodun in an interview with a national television said it would be a dangerous precedent to extend the tenure of local government chairman.
It is indeed unlawful for elected officials, elected by the people to serve a specific term, to have their tenure extended for any reason whatsoever. That act is clearly against the mandate of the people. lipsrsealed

Very good.
What then occurs to the LG when an election into the office to be declared vacant has not been conducted because the Governor has refused doing so?

i don't understand. How can any state house of assembly extend the tenure of elected officials. People supporting that are ignorant. If this happens it game over. Every elected official go kukuma dey extend tenures, governors, senators, HOR members and even president. And why extend for one year, just do 2 , 3, 4 ,5 ,6 ...8 years extension since everyone wan dey craze.

■ Very good. What then occurs to the LG when an election into the office to be declared vacant has not been conducted because the Governor has refused doing so?
If the Government fails to conduct an election, it should in no way embolden any individual or groups of people to take it upon themselves to desecrate the people's mandate. An issue like that should never be used as an excuse to walk all over the mandate handed to them by the people. Officials are elected for a fixed term and that should never be changed by anyone or any group of persons. undecided

Whatever problem the Governor creates, that is for the people to get at the governor for that but it by no means gives any man the right to trample on the authority of the poeple. undecided

It basically amounts to an attempt to strip the people of their right to decide who they want in office and for exactly how long. huh

The problem here is rather than take the fight to the governor, these ex-LG leaders instead took to trample on the mandate given them by the people to serve for just 3 years. undecided

You've ended up dancing around the question without saying anything.

If the Governor refuses to conduct LG elections, what happens?
Simple question.

I did not dance at all. I made clear that the governor's supposed violation of the constitution/law DOES NOT give any person or groups of people the right to then take power from the people. This is simple! You have a problem with what the governor did, then take it to the appropriate courts, not try to use it as a means to deprive the people of their rights. undecided

Speaking of mandate, I can't even remember when last it was the people actually have anyone mandate to serve!!! If we all understand what it means to be given such except we are just being theoretical!!!!
