A new twist has been added to the tussle of who occupies the 22 local
government secretariats in Rivers state following a judgment by the
National Industrial Court, sitting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state capital to reinstate the All Progressives Congress LG chairmen sacked by a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt in Rivers state.
The National Industrial Court ordered the reinstatement of the elected 22 local Government and ordered the Inspector
General of Police to provide security for the chairmen to get back
their position. The case was then adjourned till October 5, 2015.
It would be recalled that last Thursday, Justice Lambo Akanbi of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt sacked the 22 duly elected LG Chairmen and councillors.
It is not clear if the IGP who had barely 36 hours ago provided security for the 22 local Caretaker
Committee Chairmen, CTC, appointed and inaugurated by Governor Nyesom
Wike Chairmen to assume office on Saturday July 11, will do same for the
reinstated chairmen.
