Forty eight hours after a Port Harcourt High Court reinstated Timothy Nsirim, the Chairman and 17 Councillors of Obio-Akpor Local Government Council, Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, avoiding legal traps, has now formally dissolved the Council, with effect from 28 November.

In a Government statement announcing the dissolution and endorsed by Mr George D.N. Feyii,Secretary to the Rivers State Government,SSG, and made available to P.M. NEWS at about 10.45pm, the Governor carried out the dissolution in exercise of the powers conferred on him by the Rivers State Local Government Law, 2012.

According to the statement, the Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Council is hereby directed to handover to the Head of Personnel Management of the Council immediately.

Justice Iyayi Lamikanran had invalidated the earlier dissolution of the same council because due process was not followed, by appointing a caretaker committee to take over the affairs of the council.

Now, Governor Aamechi has avoided the legal booby trap by asking the management of the Council to hand over to the Head of Personnel Management instead of a Caretaker Committee.

The Rivers State House of Assembly, had in April 23 2013,suspended the Chairman, Vice Chairman and the 17 councillors of Obio Akpor Local Government Area over allegations of abuse of public funds and breach of security.

The House, which also froze the account of the council, called on the state government to immediately appoint a Caretaker Committee to run the affairs of the council until investigations into the allegations were concluded.

Mr. Nyesom Wike, minister of state for education, was former two-term chairman of the council.

“’The councils, as it is presently constituted can not be dissolved without the approval
of the two-third members of the state House of Assembly ." So, where does he derive the power?

THE TRIAL JUDGE IN THE CASE THAT REINSTATED THE CHAIRMAN IN HER RULING MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS THE RIGHT TO DISSOLVE THE LGA EXCO

If GEJ reacts now, APC dogs will attack.

Fvck it, it's time GEJ puts a leash on this man Ameachi... Time for GEJ to use his executive orders and powers and frustrate him, there are ways to do so. He's biting more than he can chew, enough of this arrogant man.

He has the right to do so, question is, can he do it by himself or with 2/3rds of the STATE ASSEMBLY.

For instance, The president of Nigeria can go to war with a nation, but the fact is can he actually do it successfully without authorization from NASS? Besides, she has her own opinion and I doubt she's a federal judge to decide on Constitutional issues like this.

this is not impunity.
Wole soyinka is asleep
APC e-rats will sing a different tune now

but just wait until patience react and you will hear the champions of democracy giving us tutorial

What can he do? Cease their Federal Allocations - Tinubu did even better without it under OBJ.

State Of Emergency? Will not work. Jonathan personally argued that a State Of Emergency does not involve removing a Governor and other elected Officials

Nah man, there are underground work that will frustrate Amaechi... When the Chairman has power from above backing him up, who will bow? Do you think Rivers Citizens are pleased with his actions?

APC members act. PDP blow hot air and propaganda.

Rivers State is the heartbeat of Nigeria. Pray tell, Amaechi would not reactivate a militant sect with billions at his disposal.

Really? Militants are the disposal of who? Same militants that were dealt with during OBJ regime abi? Who intervened and negotiated on their behalf?

He should be lucky that GEJ is a cool level headed president, if not, let me know how many militants want to die for something so stupidd when the shitt hits the fan.

Amaechi is far far more popular and accepted among rivers people than Jonathan, with exceptions of Wike's GDI members whom are paid to do what they are doing and you ibos living in PH. How many governors in Nigeria can trek 4 km barefooted in their state without security?


Amaechi is in firm control of the state. The rivers state indegenes are wiser now; they are only interested in who is bringing dividend of democracy to them. You can only hear "Amaechi is betraying his brother" from ibos and no one else.

I'm in rivers state and well grounded to tell you that, Jonathan can not do anything to this guy. so, lets not argue blindly.

Amaechi is the leader of Vikings here, and if only you would understand what I typed.

Ewaste, I consider your ogogoro comments acutely silly. Please stop acting dumb.

Thanks.

PDP, cry me a river! And stop beating that okporoko chest of yours. Amaechi wants what is best for his people and not to be anybody's tool. You guys have been oppressing a very productive man.

Like Oyinlola/Tukur/pdp national secretaryship, like Nsirim/Amaechi/Obio Akpor chairmanship! Good move! Feed them with their own medication!

lolz . . We know who the real cry babies are when Wike pricks Amaechi with that his needle again.

Shebi him don kawa comot for PDP, na to kawa park comot from Rivers Remain .

Yes Amaechi want the best for his people by buying a private jet with Rivers State money and giving himself a reckless life pension package with the active connivance of his pliable State Assembly.

You got jokes . .
