Subverting the will of the people is a call for anarchy.
INEC and IGP are nothing but politicial Bandits

Didn't they inspect the materials from kogi? Wasted efforts

NastiLord:
Needless

Virtually all the political heavyweight that stood by Wike in time past are with Gov. Sim.
When, Amaechi was fighting Wike, all these stakeholders were with the latter.

Right now even some of Amaechi followers like Amb Orji Ngofa and co are now with Gov. Sim. So how will Wike win ?

mrksquare:



With the take over of the structure of the 23 LGA's, the tide has changed. You know for too long, Fubara was just pampering the bully. Now that the bull in the Chinese Shop has been removed, watch what will happen.

mrksquare:



The appointments are one that can only sustain the beneficiary and not the supporters of the beneficiaries.

Like I did mention, just watch and see, in the days ahead many of the supporters of the Minister will start effecting to join Gov. Sim.

Rivers politician are not good at sustaining struggle that is long term. They are always given to immediate gratification.

southsouthking:


Why you dey fight?

lexy2014:


and I guess the governor obeyed the court order given by the state high court

is it constitutional for a court to tell the police not to carry out its constitutional function of providing security for lives and property irrespective of the occasion?

Mitsurugi:



Please don't just display brazen ignorance oga. Just go and read your constitution. Use Google to search the relevant sections on police. That's all I ask. Nitori Olorun

Mitsurugi:
That a Federal High Court issued an unconstitutional order to the Police is something I still cannot wrap my head around.

lexy2014:


When merit is not the criteria for getting the job but sycophancy, this is the result

Livingstone124:
A country where an ex-convict is the commander-in-chief. Only lawlessness and corruption will thrive at a geometric rate. No wonder the IGP is clueless and partisan. Godfatherism is dead in River State. Wike and his dumb supporters should accept it.

southsouthking:
And Inec refuse to adhere to the judgement.

mrksquare:




Amaechi attracted even more juicier appointment to his cronies than Wike. Under Amaechi the Acting MD of NDDC, Director of Finance and Admin NDDC, State Reps NDDC, Head of NIMASA, A member of NPA board, member Public Complaint commission, VC uniport, Chairman of Govening Board of Uniport, and many of his men were given appointment into Boards of higher institutions, etc

And you should know EFCC tend to pry so much in Federal agencies than that of LG.

SimpleDan3:
You are president today because the court ignored facts for technicalities.

tnerro1:
Bros what about judgements delivered on technicalities on elections matters like your own😜

Ofunaofu:
Says some one who became a beneficiary of judgement based on technicalities, frivolous appeals and intimidation of judges.

Thunder 🔥 Tinubu

Wetin una wan inspect? When obaseki and his thugs rigged local government election did anybody inspect anything? What goes around comes around. That's why I'm laughing at fubara too.

mrksquare:



Chai!! How much is their salary? Even Boma Iyaye that is paying the pro-Wike lawmaker #5 million naira each every month is not finding it funny how much much other appointee that own their appointment to Wike.

We will be here on this platform to do a post-mortem on the transfer window that will be playing out in Rivers state. Remember some of Wike's present ally, where once Amaechi staunch men.

mrksquare:



And you think those his loyalists he gave appointment can sustain their mammoth supporters at the grassroots? He is only empowering the big shots, how about the underlys?

The reason Nebusites went on destruction spree today is because their means of surviving through the LGA has been closed. Do you know how many political underlys the local government empowers? The revenue committee at the various LGA's are one of the highest empowerment of political underlys.

In this APC government

The Edo election petition tribunal on Monday granted the PDP and its candidate, Asue Ighodalo request to inspect all election materials used for the Sept. 21 governorship election in the state.

The chairman of the tribunal, Justice W.I. Kpochi, granted the order in an ex parte motion filed by Mr Ighodalo and the party.

The ex parte motion dated Sept. 27 was filed by Rotimi.O. Ogunseso, SAN, with Seun Olusuyi, counsel to the applicants.

The petition and affidavits were sworn to by Osasere Adagbonyin.

In the petition, all the prayers of the petitioners were granted by the tribunal.

The certified true copy of the order signed by the secretary of the tribunal, Mauzu Ibrahim, ordered INEC to produce and make available all the materials used for the election.

The documents listed by the applicants and granted by the tribunal are all forms EC8A, forms EC8B, forms EC8C, forms EC8D, forms EC8E, forms EC25B, forms EC25B(i) used at the election.

Also granted are all forms EC40A, forms EC40C, forms EC40G and EC40G(i) used at the gubernatorial election.

The court also ordered INEC to make all the polling unit results , Forms EC8A uploaded to its IREV portal from the polling unit, list of accredited agents of all the political parties that participated in the gubernatorial election.

Others are, voters register for each of the polling units, total number of BVAS machines deployed to the poling units, serial number of each BVAS machine matched against the specific polling units.

Other materials to be inspected included a statement and report of the number of accredited voters recorded on and extracted directly from the BVAS machines used at all the polling units for the election.

The tribunal further ordered INEC to produce and make available to the applicants record and list of polling units where election results were not uploaded to INEC IREV portal as at Sept. 22 when the results of the election were announced.

It also directed that record of the posting of INEC adhoc staff for the 4,519 polling units, number of Permanent Voters Cards,( PVCs) collected in each polling unit be made available to the applicants.

Speaking to journalists at INEC office in Benin, Olusegun Jolaawo, SAN, said they were at INEC Office in furtherance of the court order and the applicants’ attempt to get the electoral materials inspected.

According to Mr Jolaawo, we came here today in furtherance of the tribunal order we obtained on Sept 29, 2024 and to get materials to fresh up our petition.

“Now, when we got here today, we were not able to get an audience with the REC but we were able to see the head of legal unit, who told us that they were preparing a schedule for our inspection.

“The risk involved is obvious to everybody, and the time expires on Saturday for us to file our petition and today is Monday,” he said.

The governor doesn't obey court orders that is against him

mrksquare:




Before 2026, Wike's camp will be scanty. My Rivers people don't like playing opposition for too long. Our politics down here is defined by 'what I will get'. And my people don't like fighting nor sustaining a struggle for too long that no substantial benefit will come out.

That is why I told you that Fubara will emerge victorious in 2027.

mrksquare:



Even after his passage and till date, Adoph Hitler still has loyal followers in Germany & beyond. How much more Wike that left the saddle 1year + ago.

The present Director of Finance and Administration of NDDC is from Ogu in Ogu/Bolo LGA by the name Boma Iyaye. He is Wike's staunch supporter and Wike was instrumental to his appointment as DFA. Ditto Senator George Sekibo.

Penguin2:

Did you even read the report at all?

Did you read the part that said AKSIEC had declared the PDP candidate winner only to later list APC candidate as the rightful winner with barely 685 votes as against the PDP candidate’s over 56k votes?

Do you read at all?

Umo Eno is the governor not Udom. Yes, the chairmen were sworn in today including the Essien Udim chairman. We are celebrating at his residence right now. Wild jubilation in the air.
