Samething applied to governor suspended by the president. It's only state of Assembly that can remove the sitting governor not president |

ernieboy:Is declaring state of emergency the same as suspending democratically elected officials? |

RoyalUc:declaring a state of emergency means taking over the structure of governance in a state, so yes the governor according to the constitution will have to be suspended. |

bazoodo:The AGF cannot advise the President against the ruling of the Supreme Court. The governor acted unlawfully, so he was removed. I thought you all would bring the country down, so na only mouth for social media una get |

Is it because the governor is an APC member? Withhold the federal allocation to Edo State. So irritating. |

Omozeez1:Is there insurgency in my state? Which powers are you talking about? Even when there is insurgency you can declare state of emergency but keep democratic institutions working. It happened in bornu state during good luck |

Following Tinubus footsteps. Hope this democracy go remain small before this man leaves office |

Your boss Tinubu did it in Rivers state, you didn't kick against it. Now a governor is doing the same thing You have no right to oppose the governor if you didn't oppose Tinubu. If Tinubu could do it, then a governor can also do it. What goes around comes around. |

But the president has the right to suspend a sitting governor? You can't eat your cake and have it. If the president can suspend a sitting governor and declare a state of emergency, the a governor can suspend local government chairmen, since we all want to be mad. |

All these charge and bail Lawyers and Governor D7 in this country. He couldn't advised the President when he declare SOE in Rivers State. Yeye people everywhere. |

First take that advice to your Principal who suspended an elected Governor in Rivers. |

Tilumbu enthroned lawlessness in every part of Nigeria. Nigeria na Lagos now |

Fabgemi should shut up... where was he when Tinubu suspended a whole executive governor? Are we really practicing democracy in Nigeria? The US that we claimed to copy their constitution from are not behaving like Nigeria. |

babane2016:Many Nigerians need to wake up. We can't have this your mentality and expect good governance . I don't know your age but I want you to recall the performance and activities of local government when they were not in captives of state Governors and now? Local government need to be freed from Governors for poeple to have reasonable access to the governments. I don't say Tinubu or AGF bad or good .they can't be there forever but it is bad to allow Governors to suppress local government forever. |

If the president did his own in Rivers, Ekpebolo will want to do same. |

But did you seize Edo State local government allocations like what you are doing in Osun State despite the fact that the appeal Court had already sacked APC yes/no chairmen and councillors? |

ExudeLoveToAll:So how will PBAT keep democratic institutions working in Rivers State when the Rivers State governor and State Assembly are fighting? Please take sentiments, emotions and party followership aside and respond. Thanks. |
| Re: You Don't Have Powers To Suspend LG Chairmen, AGF Fagbemi Tells Okpebholo by bixton(m): 8:38pm On Aug 29, 2025 |
Saao:Are you referring to the State Assembly that the State governor refused to recognize or the one that their building was bombed by yet unidentified persons that will suspend the governor? Or probably those three members who were holding meeting in the governor's quarters? |
| Re: You Don't Have Powers To Suspend LG Chairmen, AGF Fagbemi Tells Okpebholo by Saao(m): 8:53pm On Aug 29, 2025 |
bixton:whatever it is, the best is to go back to court. The president shouldn't have done what he did and refused to correct himself. That singular thing he did will speak against his administration even if he performed excellently well |
| Re: You Don't Have Powers To Suspend LG Chairmen, AGF Fagbemi Tells Okpebholo by bixton(m): 9:03pm On Aug 29, 2025 |
Saao:Which court are you referring to? The one that has pronounced judgement that the State governor did not accept and recognize or the one the governor was waiting for CTC of the judgment through his lawyers or counsels? |
| Re: You Don't Have Powers To Suspend LG Chairmen, AGF Fagbemi Tells Okpebholo by ExudeLoveToAll: 9:11pm On Aug 29, 2025 |
bixton:Fighting? You don't have to use words that doesn't correlate the exact things on ground, they were having political impasse and that happens all the time. During Obj his National Assembly wasn't with him on different issues, Buhari also had issues with the national Assembly, they do all the time it doesn't warrant state of emergency rule..the law doesn't even give credence to this scenario |
