Breaking news Indeed..... is not only laughable it seems that the National industry court does not know the law creating them on who and what it should adjudicate on. I think the judge is just trying to justify the money given to him. He should be told that this is not a labour issus it's a constitutional matter.

The National Industrial Court does not have the jurisdiction to adjudicate the matter, besides it will be an abuse of Court Process. The only Courts which can reverse the judgement given by the High Court are Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. Am speaking from the Legal Point of view. Thank you.

federal court gave an order. So which power does an industrial court have?

Both courts are Federal courts and have equal jurisdiction.

They are both the same in terms of hierarchy.

However the yenagoa court last subtantive jurisdiction
Please do not misinform people on this plateform. National Industrial Court is a 'special court' set aside to abjudicate on industrial matters like employer and employee comflict(s). In terms of hierarchy, The Federal Hight court has some element of superiority,therefore, NIC apart from lacking the jurisdiction to hear the matter, cannot upturn the judgement of the Federal Hight Court.

On what ground did the National Industrial Court gave in to the prayers of the 22 APC rascals? This is a rape to democracy and a big setback to Nigeria's democratic struggle. RVSG must appeal this sham of a judgement!
How can a Judge reinstate rascals that were "selected" by some guy from Ubima without the input of Riverians? How can something be legitimate when the RSIEC extant law was abused? How can the LG poll be legitimate when there was a court injunction and there wasn't INEC voters register? This is sad...

RISEC was not ordered not to hold the elections. INEC was ordered not to give RISE C the voters register. RISEC said they already had the rwgister. There was no order from the FHC to RISEC. And it has got nothing to do with APC.
You are not saying the whole truth. When the court said both parties should maintain STATUQUO, what does it mean even if RISEC already had the register?

I'm not misleading anyone. The FHc is not higher than NIC and also the matter was not on appeal at NIC so the issue of up turning the judgment of the fhc does not even come up.

In our youthful days we were made to understand that one can appeal or overturn an appeal court judgement in a high court does that apply to the industrial court too

A judgement of a court can only be overturned by a higher court

An Appeal Court judgement can only be overturned by the Supreme Court..

Well, I chose my words carefully...I said ' some element of superiority' though not absolute superiority anyway(I don't want to go deep into this). If there is a subsisting judgement by FHC and NIC went ahead to give a judgement contrary to the subsisting judgement, what is NIC trying to achieve other than 'upturning' the judgement of FHC? If you disagree with my choice of word, what is the appropriate word in this circumstance?

Actually, the two cases are different. The elected chairmen desired some prayers from the PH court but since Justice Akannbi was wasting time and time was of an essence, they decided to go to Yenogoa to seek an order that will restrain them form being removed.
In the eyes of the court in PH, The elections ought not to have held...............APC has/on the verge of appealing this.
In the eyes of the court in Yenogoa, These LG chairmen were constitutionally elected and shouldnt be removed at all till the case before it is done with.............am not sure if PDP has appealed this.
A superior court decision is needed and fast.

Exactly, the 2 cases are different..

One from before the election, the other was initiated after the election..

we are waiting for the legal experts' opinion

Maintain status quo can mean different things to different people. What was the status quo then? It was the preparation for the elections. So if you say maintain, you are saying let things continue the way they are already. The judge would have spoken in clear terms or ordered RISEC not to conduct the elections. But he knew he had no basis for that and was only playing safe. The judge is the cause of the whole confusion.

Your are right.. But this comment below is what I believe happened.

Because the Judgement sacking the LG Chairmen was given on Friday. It's not possible to file a suit opposing the judgement today and securing this judgment on the same day..

the case had been instituted before today

If they were selected and are rascal, waht of ur Wike's on selection on April 11, 2015? Wewere prevented from voting as was the case for the presidential election and at the end fititious figures were anounced more than acrediated voters.
Wike is the one about to be thrown out with immediate alacrity.

Na supreme court go settle this matter.
Re: Court Reinstates Elected LG Chairmen In River State by badesco(m): 6:53pm On Jul 13, 2015
Gov. Wike should not bother himself, all he need to is to go to stete assembly and request that the tenure of the current LGs be reducesd to 6months and thereafter he would conduct a fresh election. Shikena.

As brilliant as it must be kicking a ball about with Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in training, there comes a time in every man's life when you've just got to branch out on your own. Get some minutes on the pitch.
Barcelona striker Pedro, 27, has surely got a decent Premier League season or three in him? That's reportedly what Chelsea reckon anyway - they're said to have already put an offer in.
Pedro, who's available for a cool 30 million euros (£21m) after Barca reduced his buyout clause down from 150 million euros (£105m), says "there are offers" for him, but he hasn't said who from, and he hasn't yet said he plans to leave...

Both Courts are of coordinate jurisdiction and are equal before the law. The difference is that national industrial court is a special court. Since the national industrial court earlier gave an order, the federal high court should not have made another judgment on the issue. It is an abuse of Court process.

You people should stop misinforming the public. The industrial court did not give any order reinstating the Amaechi's chairmen. The government of Rivers State did not violate any law. The initial order by the industrial court was made against the government not to dissolve the elected chairmen which the state government obeyed. Fortunately, it was the court that sack them and not the government.

Rivers state attorney general says.
"I was at the National Industrial Court Yenagoa today. I took part in the proceedings. The record of proceedings can be applied for. I did not faint in Court. I was also not attacked. THE COURT DID NOT TAMPER WITH THE JUDGMENT OF THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT PORT HARCOURT ANNULLING THE MAY 23 2015 LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION. It is TOTALLY FALSE that any order was made by the National Industrial Court Yenagoa restoring the annulled Rivers State Local Government Council elections. Let us be responsible enough to report only what transpired in Court. AS AT TODAY THE MAY 23 2015 RIVERS STATE LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS REMAIN ANNULLED AS DECLARED BY ORDER OF THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT." - AG,Rivers State --
