All 23 local government chairmen in Rivers State sacked.
State Executive council dissolved.
Speaker of the state house of Assembly changed.
Governor Simi Fubara of Rivers State has sacked all 23 Local Government Areas Chairmen of the state. The development followed an ongoing plot to sack Fubara and his deputy by the Rivers State House of Assembly.
However, Fubara in what can be described as a preventive measure, sacked appointees loyal to former governor Nyesom Wike, including the local government chairmen. The sack of the chairmen was preceded by the impeachment of the Rivers Assembly Speaker,Martin Amaewhule, who was promptly replaced with Ehie Edison on Monday.

The impeachment plot, which is reportedly orchestrated by Wike, has been greeted with many reactions and events.
First, the state assembly complex was gutted by a mysterious fire on Sunday night. Early Monday morning, a heavy security architecture assaulted the governor by pouring him water and firing canisters at Fubara and his supporters who were trying to access the complex. As of press time, supporters of Fubara had taken over major areas in the city while declaring solidarity for his administration.

A new sheriff is in Town...

This conforms that SIM is gone
Thus action is akin to grasping for breathe

So so sorry @ Nwodosis

SIM now has full network!

has the Supreme Court not ruled that it is illegal to sack LGA chairmen?

Hahahaha dude is now using his executive power properly

Rivers State House Of Assembly (8 members loyal to Governor Sim) suspends Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Chibuzor Amadi.
The House also impeached the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule and appointed Ehie Edison as the new Speaker.

Politics is sweet

Wike is being pounce
He'll be clipped eventually by Fubara

It has on several occasions. the governor is making it difficult for this thing to be resolved politically.All his reactions are emotional and lack political strategy.He has election petition case at the appeal court,i don't know this can be resolved.

Great

Lol, as if you are not in Nigeria ..

They will go to court, they won’t see judgment till 2028

Politics is not for the faint hearted.
Ambode will always be a Case study on how not to be a politician.
Politics is all about ruggedity and wisdom entangled together.
Shout out to Obaseki, Sullivan Chime etc.
Mr. Simi should buckle up nd now that d fight is just starting.
Is either u nail the Godfather completely or he destroys u.
Wike too should be careful on d kind of fight he picks coz d very moment his influence in Rivers state is cut down or taken away,then APC will cut him off.

Thunder fire fraudulent SC

Forget supreme court for now we don't have functional judiciary yet .

Sim is not guaranteed a win either, but it is better to fight going down than not to fight at all and be removed like a chicken like Ambode.

He can't win with just 8 loyal members. He needs more on his side.

The judiciary have told us they are for sale.

So we will pay them billions in bribe and tell them Iook for technicalities to deliver in our favour, just like you and Tinubu did.. Rivers have the money.

We're they not elected?

Una political calculation is funny.

So Wike will then handover Rivers to Amaechi camp to pepper Sim?

I thought they were elected and as such no governor has the power to sack them?
Anyway,impunity in Rivers didn't start today.
Impunity,unrivalled electoral rigging,massive corruption,thuggery and cultism are the hallmarks of Rivers State politics since 1999.

SIM don already dey score own goal, you don't have the powers to sack elected LG chairmen. Instead of to dey gather sympathy, una dey gather more enemies.

Governor Obaseki laughs at you

That’s the right thing to do since the governor is in charge

They are not elected but appointed so he has powers to sack them

sacking appointees will worsen issues

Overtake Don Overtake Overtake!

This guy is gone

Sack all appointees of wike and install your own. Empower them with enough money to do the job for you.
