The Federal High Court in Port Harcourt has summoned the Rivers State to appear before it and justify why an interim order should not be issued to halt the proposed appointment of Sole s across the state’s 23 Local Government Areas.

Justice Adamu Turaki Mohammed issued the directive on Monday, April 7, 2025, in response to an ex-parte motion filed by the Pilex Centre for Civic Education Initiative and its Coordinator, Courage Nsirimovu. The applicants are seeking to stop the state government from moving forward with the appointments, citing concerns over potential threats to democratic governance in the state.

In his ruling, Justice Mohammed stressed the importance of due process and fairness in istrative actions. He directed that the respondent be served with a hearing notice and ordered to “show cause” why the interim injunction should not be granted. The matter has been adjourned to April 14, 2025, for further hearing.

During the session, the applicants’ legal representative, A. O. Imiete, adopted a written address in of the motion, urging the court to grant the reliefs sought. The respondent was absent from the proceedings.

The case, filed under suit number FHC/PH/CS/46/2025, has gained public attention amid mounting tension over the plan to replace elected local government officials with sole s. The outcome could have significant implications for local governance and the interpretation of constitutional provisions in the state.

Good decisions from the court of justice

Don't turn Nigeria into a lawless state temporal interest.

Nothing last forever in the Nigerian political space.

Tinubu and his co-travellers in NASS should enact a new law conferring power of immunity on the since they want to turn the constitution upside down.

he will not honour it, watch and see

If I was in the military it's a good time to plan a coup since we have an military government in Rivers. Don't tell me he is not he. If there

Make he no go think say immunity cover him. It covers only duly elected governor and his deputy. And not an illegal sole like this Iba (malaria)

Waste of time

Which court?

E be like say that Judge no dey fear Toonooboo and Obio-Akpor Hitler

helinues:
Waste of time

You can't understand. Justice will prevail even if it takes 20 years.

He is not above the law I blame Rivers people for not coming out to defend democracy in their state

If this becomes part of democratic practice then, it should be clearly stated what the sole istator can do.

Nigeria's democracy is in danger

Why is the man dismantling everything and erecting new political structures? Is he planning to spend more than 6 months?

He should be preoccupied with maintaining law and order. Appointment of LG s shouldn't even be part of it.

''Go to court" Which court. Court the justifies illegality?

Nigeria is a Lawless country
