Twenty-one out of the twenty-three former local government chairmen in Rivers State have vowed to resume office on Monday, March 3, 2025.
The affected local government council bosses argued that based on the Supreme Court judgement of Friday, 28th February, 2025, their tenures have been extended after the apex court recognised the Martins Amaewhule-led legislature as the authentic House of Assembly in the state.
The decision of the local government chairmen was conveyed in a viral video on social media by the former chairman of Ikwerre local government area of the state, Samuel Nwanosike.
