This is a joke taken too far. The court cannot be ridiculed like this.

The appellate court dismissed the appeal filed by the Governor of Rivers State Siminalayi Fubara on grounds that it lacked merit.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed the judgment of the Federal High Court which set aside the N800 billion budget passed by five members of the Rivers State House of Assembly led by the Edison Ehie-led group.

The court held that Governor Fubara withdrew his counter-affidavit at the lower court in the matter and as such cannot commence an appeal in a matter he didn’t challenge at the trial stage.

All this you people's children talk. It's a father and son affair and Wike said so on many instances. Why will he fire Wike, when is among the best performing minister. You people want Wike downfall just because he didn't support the religious and tribal bigot last year.

ceejay10:
The president doesn't have the cojones to do such. Wike is apparently bigger than him.

That is not Russian Flag it's the Nigerian Military flag

I don't know the full details of the case but I'm very sure the caliber of lawyers employed to institute this case by the APC will not embark on frivolous cases, for example, Joseph Daudu has been a SAN since the early 90s, just sit back and relax, and mind you INEC is not a ministry under Rivers state government that can be influenced to do a governors bidding.

Ipob you think that this is a natural occurrence right? No wonder you believed that Nigeria offered your mentor VP of Nigeria in the prison. Una reasoning is so poor.
How you people think that Fubara will defeat Tinubu and Wike amazes me. You think Tinubu would call Fubara to Abuja dish out settlement conditions and Fubara went back and chose which to comply with and which not and the president will be happy with him. You people don't know what Fubara has out himself into and where his attacks are coming from.

maasoap:
The question is why are your fellow comrades crying and wailing on this thread? Any insight?

vanitybutiwanti:
The chairmen were elected, not just zamfara, another state I can not recall

vanitybutiwanti:
it's not illegal, zamfara state assembly enacted same law last week, tenure extension doesn't take effect if state electoral bodies conduct elections before the expiration of Local Government chairmen tenures.

Sim will sweep the council polls, its common knowledge, he pays the piper(RISIEC) and he will definable dictate the tone(winners)

vanitybutiwanti:
The law that allows for CTC in Rivers state has been expunged by the state house of assembly.

slivertongue:
wike and his men created the trap and they fell into it.

Seefinish:
Wike is a goner.

Next is PDP exco in the state

The Court of Appeal, Port-Harcourt at a virtual hearing today via Zoom gave its Ruling on two Motions filed by Martins Amaewhule and the other defected lawmakers challenging the order of injunction granted by the Rivers State High Court restraining them from acting as lawmakers.

The Court in Ruling on the first Motion, granted the Appellants’ prayers for leave to compile and transmit the Records of Appeal, deeming the Appellants’ Brief of Argument as filed, accelerated hearing and a stay of further proceedings at the High Court.

The Court of Appeal however refused to grant the prayer for stay of execution and setting aside the interim order of the Lower Court as there is a presumption of correctness of an order of a Court. It held that granting same would be tantamount to determining the appeal at this stage. The Court went on to order that the present status quo should be maintained pending the hearing of the Appeal.

Ruling on the 2nd Motion which was brought to set aside the interlocutory injunction of the Lower Court, the Court of Appeal also refuse the prayer, and reiterated that the ‘present’ status quo should be maintained.

The Respondents are to filed their Briefs within 72 hours of being served. The case has been adjourned to 20/6/24 for Hearing of the Appeal.
