The Rivers State High Court has invalidated the amended Local Government Law proposed by the Martins Amaewhule faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly.


The ruling was delivered in a suit numbered PHC/1320/CS/2024, which challenged the extension of tenure for LG chairmen for six months after the expiration of their term.

Justice D.G. Kio, presiding over the case, declared the amendment invalid, citing its inconsistency with the 1999 Constitution and Section 9(1) of the Rivers State Local Government law No. 5 of 2018.


The court emphasized that the applicable law governing the tenure of local government chairmen and councillors is the Rivers State Local Government Law No. 5 of 2018, which stipulates a three-year tenure.

The attempt to extend their tenure through the enactment of the Local Government Law No. 2 of 2024 was deemed unlawful and contrary to their oath of office.

The ruling marks a victory for Enyiada Cookey-Gam and six others who challenged the extension, asserting the primacy of constitutional principles in governance.

Wike will learn the hard way. This na morning for Wike

God bless fubarachukwu oja
cilicmarin and helinues in tears

Lol.

Anybody who expects Wike whatever he thinks he is or whatever he calls himself to win Rivers people is capable of ing any evil.

The man of the moment is Sim Fubara and he will cut Wike to his actual size now and in 2027

Rivers High Court= Fubara State High Court.

1. They dont have jurisdiction to hear the case, he should have approached the Federal High court

2. The power to make or ammend the law governing Local Govts resides with the state Assembly.

3 . The appeal will reinstate the amendment and reprimand the state court.


Wike Leads, We The Rivers People Follow.

Its just like extending the tenure of a governor or president

lol from fubara will be impeached,to he won't win election in 2027 .

now this,when will APC losers accept that Rivers state no be Lagos.

These 23 LGA Chairmen dem mumu nó be small.
You requested for 6 months extension through the House of Assembly out of the many years that they could have extended their stay.
You have the Federal might, and their lord and personal savior in Abuja and all they could request was a paltry 6 months extension.
Why didn't they request for 100 years considering the Federal might and Wike the super minister?
So they are afraid to stay without job for 6 months while their principal Wike refused to pay Pension and Gratuity for many years.

If I am a brother to these shameless LGA Chairmen and HA , in fact I disbrother, all of them.

Its like Dangote gave you an open cheque and you demand was N6000 to buy garri.

Tuffiakwa 😁😁😁

Posterity is against Wike ,his 8yrs was full of deceit and propaganda, acting god ,glory has left him

Nwikpo decapitated.

This is how you foolishly follow the crowd without knowing where they are going. A simple article to read, you can't but jump into conclusion as usual. Let me explain to you what's written in there.
Your supper law makers would have amended the existing law to achieve their target, but they instead enacted another one contrary to the existing one.
As for jurisdiction, the state high court you said lack jurisdiction? Maybe you are just throwing out words without actually knowing their meanings.

only if that law is consistent with the law of the FRN and by the constitution of the FRN...any law that is not consistent with the law of the federal republic is null and void abnitio

Wike keep losing ground daily in River State while Fubara keep gaining ground.
After the end of their tenure, put caretakers in charge.

Next is party structure

Useless stupid foolish greedy Nyesom Wike can go to hell

BATerian Agbados can make him governor of Lagos State if they wish.

South South is not Lagos
.

Wike should go on exile

Fubi 14
Nwaike 0
Gbegiri speculators-0

It's like the president or the NASS ing law to extend the tenure of a governor or extend even the tenure of the president himself.

The court of appeal is still in Rivers State. So, wetin go come happen? Abeg shift.

JUNE 18TH... #WearYaJims..

Fubara is wasting time. This is an opportunity to sack all LG chairmen in Rivers and appoint his loyalists as caretaker chairmen…if he doesn’t know how to starve state legislators of funds and chase them out of the state, he should ask otunba gbenga daniels or chimaroke nnamani for a template afterall the current state of emilokan lawlessness is the most appropriate and golden time in Nigeria to engage in civil lawlessness as all the institutions including judiciary are now dead or open to highest bidder courtesy of tinubu’s example
