Rivers LG Crisis Deepens As Ibas Plans To Appoint Caretaker Chairmen by mikkywebs(op): 9:19pm On Mar 24, 2025
Port Harcourt – Tension is rising in Rivers State over reports that the Sole Administrator, Emmanuel Ibas, may soon appoint caretaker chairmen for the 23 local government areas.

Sources say the move could happen as early as next week, despite an ongoing court case challenging the removal of the elected council officials.

The planned appointments have drawn criticism from some groups who argue it violates Nigeria's constitution, which guarantees elected local governments. Supporters of the move claim it will help restore order in the councils.

Police authorities say they are monitoring the situation to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

The crisis began after the state assembly dissolved the elected local governments last month, a decision currently being challenged in court.
