2. CA/PH/145M/2024
HON. ENYIADA CLIFFORD COOKEY-GAM (EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OPOBO/NKORO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA & 6 ORS VS GOVERNOR OF RIVERS STATE & ORS

By the verdict of the court former LGA Chairmen Lalaam...😃

THE POLICE CAN NOW VACATE THE LGA COUNCIL SECRETARIACT FOR PROPER TAKEOVER BY C.T.C CHAIRMEN.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has dismissed appeals filed by Cookey-Gam & Ors on the elongation of their tenures as Local Government Chairmen in Rivers State.

The tenures of the LG Chairmen have been a subject of controversy following an amendment by the Rivers State Assembly led by Martin Amaewhule for the extension of their tenures. This has been a follow-up to the crisis involving Governor Sim Fubara and his erstwhile mentor, Ezenwo Wike.

However, a High Court sitting in Rivers State had struck out the amendment seeking extension as been contrary to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.

The panel of the Appeal Court today upheld the decision of the High Court, refused the extension of the tenures of the Chairmen whose positions expired in June and dismissed the case for been unmeritorious.

Strike 1 is complete.. One structure down! We move!

Hahahahahaha nice song

So some people were expecting the appeal court to validate the abuse of power by Wike's houseboy Martins Amaehule?
The law is against the 1999 constitution that stipulates 3 years for elected LGA chairman.

Nice one!
They can go to Supreme court if they want to and they will fail again .
We will scatter Wike structure completely.

But every right thinking person knew those guys were gone for good. I said it here that if Amaewhule and co were to return they wouldn't come back with those LG chairmen.

RSIEC has slated LG elections for October. TIme for the CTC chairmen to do their underground work.

I don't understand how one man will want to control a whole state structure to the detriment of the people and people are cheering him on , defending his impunity because he rigged elections for thier god in Aso rock.

One selfish, greedy mam wants access to Rivers treasury for his selfish aim and idiots are calling a man who has the balls to resist him an ingrate!

We must be cursed in Nigeria. No other valid explanations!

power at d top! working

So the governor and oko jumbo can chose which court order they will obey and enforce abi ? By the verdict of appeal court oko jumbo is not the speaker of the house, martin remain the state assembly speaker. Any seating by jumbo is illegal

yarimo:
So the governor and oko jumbo can only obeyed the court orders that favours them

How did the the other appeal court verdict favour Amaewhule and co ? People whose seats have been declared vacant.. an order yet to be VACATED by any court to this day?

If Amaewhule and co want this matter settled once and for all, the suit at Justice Okorowos FHC is waiting for them.

A stay of execution has been filed and granted ... so Oki jumbo remains

The funny part is that same Wike came to power in Rivers state claiming he is coming to dismantle Godfatherim in the state... Fubara is too gentle for this type of fight... Imagine Someone like Magnus Abe is the sitting Governor Wike is trying this rubbish with.

yarimo:
hehehe who filed it

I tire ooo. Where and when did they file such at the supreme Court.

This guys are really funny. They are ipob and ibos just spreading fake news.

Supreme Court will never grant stay of execution just as the Apoeal Court never did.

We are only waiting for judgement from justice omotosho.

It is then that Fubara eyes will clear

Fubara 18

Wike 0

Wike is yet to win any case or battle against fubara in rivers state. He's just fooling himself while tinubu inconsequential supporters continue to cheer him on to his political doom on rivers state .

Rivers no be Lagos

Somewhere in Ikwerre and Obio Akpor LGA, some Wike boys are currently celebrating today's Appeal Court ruling on LGA tenure elongation because of what their oga told them. See ignorance on rampage.

Their Oga boasted about securing victory at today's appeal court and that once they hear the news of the ruling, they should start dancing. Now they're dancing without knowing the content of the ruling.

yarimo:
illiterate kids everywhere typing long trash. Did state high courts has right to declare a member seat or not. Just simple question of yes or no

Capital NO! We know, Fubara knows, Oko Jumbo knows... so why go in the first place? To kill time... Go to YouTube and listen to senior lawyers. NONE, rightfully agreed the main matter of vacancy of seats has been settled.

Fubara dint really have issues with those assembly members. They overstepped their boundaries passing strange laws. If the governor have left them, they would have passed law increasing their own tenure by 4 more years

COMRADES, this is a welcome development

one of the duty of a state legislators is to make laws for the state. No governor in Nigeria has any power to make laws or interpret the law

If you can't bring valid arguments here instead of throwing jabs, please rest! 😂

Law is actually common sense and logic as long as you following laid down rules.

This matter is still on JURISDICTION! Main issue of defection or no defection.. vacancy or no vacancy has not started o!!

I hope you know the case at the Supreme Court instituted by Oko jumbo is not the end of rhe matter? Many of you think so. It's still on JURISDICTION. 😂

Amaewhule and co are in a tight corner. They depended on Wike to cut corners for them using Omotosho as usual..

Their affidavits are littered everywhere in Okorowos court. That is why they don't want to pursue that case. They know the okorowo case is their Waterloo.

But can a state assembly make laws against the constitution of the Republic The constitution says a fixed term of 3 years but you want to amend it at state level on the instructions of a mad man who wants to perpetuate his structure in the state. Where the fk is it done 🤨😒

Let them go and become Local Government chairmen in FCT

Okay, it should have been an executive privilege and not constitutional right
