Justnation:
Is this democracy or dictatorship? ,

let the rule of law prevail not the rule of force.

The newly sworn chairmen should be allowed to do their work unhindered.

3ice9ce:


Who will execute the order?
You see why Ekpa is using remote control on your parents?

Tochi3:
..useless IGP..instead of providing security to the legally local government committee members..while they carry out their constituted responsibilities.at their secretariat you are barring them together with wike's thugs from abuja..

..emilokan godfatherism will also fail in Rivers..

Sonnobax15:

So all the caretaker chairmen appointed by fubara,na street their own secretariats dey like this abi wetin dey xup?

NairalandForumo:


And if the dialogue doesn't work?

adioolayi:


Sincerely, it's a sad development...stripping the Governor the so called Chief security powers..and he can't even command State Commissioner of Police...na sad development

NairalandForumo:


You see why I am asking the question of what will the FG gain by closing the LG offices, because clearly Wike is not ready to back down, The governor has to have a plan B, he is in charge of the state.

Would the police be shutting down every new office he opens for the LG's?

When they are tired of staying in the old offices they would go by themsleves and might end up looking very stupid, they want a fight with Fubara where militants and police will begin to battle for the offices to declare maybe a state of emergency. .

That's why I said he should just open new offices and avoid that, this is like the person who took his friends to court for kicking him out of a whatsapp group and he won, they put him back in the group and all left the group for him and created a new one, the guy wanted to take them to court again

There are somethings people do you just ignore them and continue your life....

Peacecore:
Then he conducts election.

sylve11:


😆

Abeg give me link to this gist.

NairalandForumo:


No, rent new office spaces in all the local governments to continue their operations...

NairalandForumo:


No, rent new office spaces in all the local governments to continue their operations...

Peacecore:
What of the councillors?

Peacecore:
That's lawlessness. Police is trying to prevent breakdown of law n order.

Trimjos:


Mister, go and shut ur mother up. That's what he will do and nothing will happen. Nigeria police no big pass Rivers citizens

Trimjos:


Seun fergie001 justwise Dominique
Rule 2

NairalandForumo:


That is why the governor too should support them by going to rent new office spaces so that those who want to stay in the old ones can peacefully stay there, so there will not be fighting over the office space, when they are tired of occupying it without anything happening there, they will carry their legs and leave the place jeje...

Abi would they go and be fighting the governor in the new office spaces again, if they do then we now know who are the people causing trouble in the state after the governor left the place for you people and that also includes the police claiming to stop violence....

The police have no business in the new places too because there is no violence in the new place, in fact the police is supposed to arrest any person going to the new place to cause and that includes Wike and his men...

NairalandForumo:


Same with councilors, they do same for them...

NairalandForumo:


Even if he plans to conduct election, it will take months for campaign and setup and all that, would the state stay without LG chairmen for the period?

Peacecore:
Whose loyalists are the councillors?

NairalandForumo:


I don't really care where the loyalists come from, I'm not a Fubara supporter, my own is Wike should leave the state alone for Fubara, next time he will learn not to impose any candidate on the people, I want this to be a message to others who don't allow the people to vote their choices during elections, that is why I am also happy about Kaduna own...

Peacecore:
What happened to the perm secretaries?

BondRiv:
Very good. Now they are slowly waking up. Get Chijioke Ihunwo, Boma Goodhead, Asari Dokubo, Edison Ehie (wanted felon) and other miscreants and perpetrators of the mayhem in Rivers State arrested.

Peacecore:
The councillors are also Wike's loyalists and they can't follow the said caretaker committee to their bedroom for sitting.

Peacecore:
Whhat of the councillors?. So Tinubu may decide to tell apc senators to go to his private room and seat to pass any rule of his choice by creating false fight?

Peacecore:
Oga nothing like caretaker committee. Let him conduct election n test his popularity.

Amah70:
Wherever wealth is found, crisis of divide and rule gets induced in the area.
People in Rivers state were not originally know for thuggery.
In the SE zone, we see what looks like Igbos killing Igbos. But never in history did the phenomenon exist.
Nigeria at war with its people because of natural resources.

Return to True and Fiscal federalism under zonal or regional government system; we see these rumblings in Nigeria end.

aviara:


Presently, about 20 states in Nigeria runs local government council through caretaker committee. Wike also did the same. Fubara isn't the first and Rivers is not the only state doing this

eldoradoxx:
IGP speaking the mind of Wike. But the Governor has outsmarted them by directing all LGA Chairmen to relocate their offices temporarily to a new location within their Local Government Council. IGP and Wike can have the empty LGA Secretariats with no staff or access to funds to work with. Wike and FG should simply know that LGA are totally under the control of Governors and there is no way around it. No bank will allow any person not approved as Chairman by a Governor to have access to LG account. Its similar to how Ganduje and FG are wasting their time and energy in Kano. You cannot be Emir once the Governor does not want you even you like know the Chief Justice of Nigeria and all the Supreme Court Justices.

NairalandForumo:


Well, these are not senators....

NairalandForumo:


If the offices are locked, everybody will move to the new offices at least for now for peace to reign....

Peacecore:
Why can't Fubara maintain status quo pending any order from court or at least peace returns.
