In Rivers State, the legislative body, led by Martin Amaewhule, is furious over the continued occupation of office by Caretaker Committee Chairmen (CTC) despite a Supreme Court ruling that declared their positions illegal. The lawmakers are not just annoyed, they are calling for arrests.

Why It Matters

In a state where one controversy leads to another, it’s almost a wonder any peace exists. But then again, which Nigerian state can honestly claim tranquility?

Recently, the apex court delivered a judgment in a high-profile case involving the Attorney General of the Federation and the Attorneys General of all 36 states. The verdict was crystal clear: Caretaker Committee Chairmen are illegal.

During Monday’s plenary session, House leader Major Jack presented the Certified True Copy of the Supreme Court judgment. He laid it before the speaker, underscoring the court’s decisive stance.

What They Are saying

Ignatius Onwuka, the Chairman of the House Committee on Local Governments, was up next with alarming news. He reported that CTC Chairmen continue to operate as if the Supreme Court’s ruling were mere suggestions.

“These impostors are parading themselves as caretaker committee chairmen and members in the 23 local governments,” Onwuka stated. “Mr. Speaker, this is troubling. Our House amended the Local Government law to ensure only elected officials run local government affairs.”

Onwuka didn’t mince words. “These impostors are going around local governments, harassing innocent men and women, and imposing levies and rates. We felt it necessary to bring their activities to your attention.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Ofiks Kagbang, representing Andoni Constituency, accused Governor Fubara of fostering disorder.

He said, “The governor is inviting anarchy. The Supreme Court says no caretaker committees, yet Mr. Governor keeps them in place, letting them collect levies and rates. Isn’t that anarchy?”

Bottom Line

The Assembly members voted, and Amaewhule issued a stern directive: the police must arrest any caretaker committee chairman found still parading around. He also tasked the chairman of the House Committee on Information to inform the public of their decision.
