Protesters Block Road To Rivers Assembly Over Plan To Cancel Council Elections by lalasticlala(mod): 11:51am On Jun 11, 2015
Port Harcourt – About 2000 placards carrying youths protest alleged plan by governor Nyesom Wike to dissolve the elected council executive in 22 local government areas sworn in by former governor Chibuike Amaechi on May 25 before he bowed out on May 29.
At press time the protesters had barricaded the ever busy Moscow road leading to the Rivers state House of Assembly in Port Harcourt.

Vehicles were being turned back because of the blockade mounted by the protesters on the road
Chairman, Degema local government area, Mr Sogbeye Eli who is among the council Chairmen leading the protest said they were out to resist what he dubbed attempt to dissolve elected councils in the state using the state House of Assembly.

Recalled that governor Wike Monday evening dissolved the Professor Augustine Ahiazu led Rivers state Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC that conducted the council election on May 23 over allegations of abuse of office.

It is not clear if the House could convened today with the development in front of the complex .
Some police officers were seen talking with some of the council chairmen leading the protest.

Wike is only disturbing himself because he is just a caretaker Governor and he will vacate that seat soonest.



Both Wike and the house of assembly must also respect the court order restraining him from sacking the elected council Chairmen.

There is nothing the protesters can do, wike is going to conduct another new election and sack those criminals whether rotimi olatinubu buharim amechi likes it or not.

Nyesom must probe amechi, he stole too much.

Our elders say, the reason why the chicken dances shoki when it wants to die, it is that he believes that he would make heaven to continue the dance over there.

Mtcheww the state house of assembly has declared the elections as a sham and it will be treated as that.Wike should do the needful before this week runs.

I think there is a court order restraining wike from kicking out the elected council chairmen, BTW nigerians need to question ameachi on why he decided to hold council elections few days to the end of his tenure...

One begins to wonder if ameachi wanted peace in rivers with such actions...

Sorry. Hold Amaechi responsible who poo in Rivers and ran to Abuja
Re: Protesters Block Road To Rivers Assembly Over Plan To Cancel Council Elections by Alphaoscar: 11:59am On Jun 11, 2015
Is the house of Assembly a court of law?

There is a court ruling restraining the state government from sacking them and that ruling must be respected.

Amaechi causing trouble for Wike, its only Rivers people that will suffer because they should not expect any meaningful development from Wike's government due to many distractions.
