Rivers House Of Assembly Lacks Constitutional Authority To Probe Out-gone SOLAD. by SenatorCharles1(op): 1:51am On Sep 19, 2025
The six-month tenure as Rivers Sole Administrator was during an emergency rule where the National Assembly had assumed the powers of the Rivers State House of Assembly, therefore:

The National Assembly approved the budgets.

It is the National Assembly who exercised oversight during the period, not the state assembly.

Therefore, the Rivers State House of Assembly lacks constitutional authority to probe that period because its legislative and oversight powers were suspended.

Proper oversight of Ibok-Ete Ibas’s finances during the state of emergency lies with the National Assembly, the Auditor-General of the Federation, and the EFCC/ICPC.

If the President, not the court can unilaterally remove elected institutions and appoint a sole administrator, then the rule of law is meaningless; anyone could assume powers not granted to them by the Constitution.

if the Solad can conduct local government elections under a democratic disguise why can't he be probed this Una style of democracy is really alien and looking meaningless.
even though we know the house members are only playing around but just like it has been said democracy has been destroyed under the tinubu government.

The Assembly should either petition the EFCC or just engage in media trial

Or better still they should team up with the governor to ask the State Attorney General to sue the FG and ask the court to declare their suspension as illegal, null and void. If the court aligns with them, then and only then can they be legally and constitutionally empowered to probe

Succinctly put... It's just drama to keep the gullible debating. With the solar at the behest of the President and NASS, any probe can only be conducted by the NASS. Amaewhule and his people are just trying to make their resolutions in two pages, that's all.

It will get to no where.
It is an academic question which cannot be answered by the Court. Moreover, it has been overtaken by events, the highest Court in the land went AWOL for 162 days without a hearing, is it now they will do anything?

Kekere-Ekun fell off real time.
