Court Sacks 22 Rivers Council Chairmen, Councillors by Islie(op): 11:26am On Jul 09, 2015

A federal high court in Port Harcourt presided over by Justice Lambo Akambi, this morning nullified the election of the 22 local Government council chairmen and councillors organized by the Professor Augustine Ahiazu led Rivers State Independent Election Commission, RSIEC, during the administration of Chibuike Amaechi.

Justice Akambi averred that the conduct of the election that produced the 22 local government council chairmen is not only illegal but an affront on the court because the matter was pending in court. He noted that RSIEC and the state government was directed not to go ahead with the election but the order of court was fragrantly disobeyed.

With the judgement, the 22 local government council chairmen who are all members of the All Progressives Congress have been sacked.
It would be recalled that when RSIEC planned to conduct the election at the twilight of the immediate past administration in May, the state PDP challenged the election through a court injunction but RSIEC claimed the order of court did not affect it, so PDP boycotted it.

RSIEC led by Prof Ahiazu had earlier been sacked by Governor Nyesom Wike and reconstituted it.

The Federal High court in its judgement said it had to defend and protect democracy by nullifying the election.

Wike, a lawyer, had vowed to sack the council chairmen and councillors because they were elected illegally but would wait for case to run its full course.

I thought Amaechi said this can NEVER happen.
Elections going on and he was busy running around looking for INEC result sheet, couldn't even vote for his Buhari. And now he wants Buhari to compensate him with a juicy appointment, unless if his stake is the money he donated.

Was owing workers and, instead of paying them, spent billions on elections just days before his leave, election many boycotted.
All these wastages, and the citizens just keep quiete and watch. Time shall tell.

The funny thing is that the election was conducted by Prof Ahiazu, otherwise known as Prof Maurice Iwu. It was bound to fail.

These governors won't change. Just few days ago gov Lalong of plateau also sacked all local govt chairmen.

Until there is autonomy for the third tier of govt, where Inec at the local govt level conducts election, our local govts will keep experiencing devt at a slow pace

I hope Amaechi would be held liable for the mindless waste of 4.5 billion Naira of Rivers money he spent conducting the Sham election.

Thats the problem with Nigeria? Someone violated a court order and he is not even in jail

Is there no jail term for such actions?

And we want to fight corruption?

I dont care if its APC or PDP, the RSIEC should be held in contempt.

That's rule of law. This is an acceptable way of doing things rather than buldozing peoples home and forcefully removed their properties in their absence.
