The newly appointed caretaker chairmen, led by Mr. Fubara, were sworn in last week to take over the administration of their respective local government areas. However, they were met with resistance from the police as they were denied access to their offices. The police have cited a court order which prohibits the appointment of caretaker chairmen in the state. However, Governor Wike has dismissed this as a ploy by the opposition to disrupt the government’s operations.
The parallel secretariats will serve as temporary offices for the caretaker chairmen to carry out their duties until the court order is lifted. Governor Wike also assured the public that the government will take all legal actions necessary to resolve this issue. Many citizens have expressed their support for the government’s decision, stating that the police’s actions were unjust and undemocratic. They believe that the government has the right to appoint caretaker chairmen in the absence of elected officials. This development has caused tension in the city, with some residents fearing that this could lead to a clash between the government and the police. However, Governor Wike has urged everyone to remain calm and promised to handle the situation peacefully.
The establishment of parallel secretariats is an unprecedented move in the state, and it remains to be seen how this situation will unfold. But for now, the people of Rivers eagerly await the resolution of this conflict and hope for a smooth operation of their government. Stay tuned for more updates on this ongoing issue.
