The
National Industrial Court sitting in Yenagoa has granted an interim
injunction restraining Rivers State Governor, Mr Nyesom Wike and the
State House of Assembly from dissolving the 23 local government councils
in the state.
The court, presided over by Justice James
Justice Agbadu-Fishim, also restrained the Attorney-General of the state
and agents of the state government from dissolving, suspending,
sacking, terminating or in any manner whatsoever interfering with the
tenure of office of the council bosses.
The
local government chairmen in Rivers State had vowed to resist any
attempt by the state Governor, to dissolve the council bosses in the
state.
The council chairmen, who were elected on May 23, 2015,
warned that they were ready to begin a regime of resistance to the state
government, should it go ahead to dissolve the councils.
