Crisis In Rivers State As Militants, Youths Vow To Take Over Council
“The caretakers should be ready to host boys on Wednesday, Nwanosike wait for us. I have volunteered to come to the Ikwerre Local Government Council on Wednesday. You will learn how to respect elders, authority and number one citizen,” the statement added.
The Chairperson of the Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, Samuel Nwanosike, had said Governor Siminalayi Fubara lacked the power to constitute caretaker committees for local government councils in the state as a consequence of the Court of Appeal ruling in Port Harcourt, Friday.
Mr Nwanosike, an ally of former Governor Wike (now FCT minister), on Saturday, said Governor Fubara could not replace him and his colleagues at the councils with a caretaker committee. He predicated his argument on the ruling of the Court of Appeal.
