A constitutional lawyer Prof Anthony Agbazuere has raised some garmane issues that could be exploited by the Rivers State Governor, Mr Sim Fubara .
Most important issues raised by him are:
1. The certified true copy of the so called judgment or pronouncement of the Apex Court was not out yet and by law it must be out within 7days after judgment or pronouncement by the court.
2. That Governor FUBARA acted in haste without the CTC by dismissing the duely elected LG chairmen and Councilors who won in that LG elections
3. That the Supreme court had no jurisdictions over Local government elections and the appeal on such elections are vested in the State Tribunal and ends in the State High court not even the Appeal Court and ones for National Assembly ends in the court of Appeals.
4. This one will shock you and Governor FUBARA must act on it very quickly.
The Constitutional Lawyer Professor Anthony Agbazuere made a revelation that the Speaker Martin Amaewhule can be charged for perjury which carry sentence of 14yrs imprisonment referencing his sworn affidavit in a Federal High court in Abuja where he admitted to defection from PDP to APC on December 13,2023 warning the Law maker to be truthful and law-abiding.
Hmmmm so I suggest the Governor of Rivers State must use the advantage now to take the Speaker to court prosecute him for Perjury.
Finally, the Constitutional Lawyer Professor Anthony Agbazuere concluded by saying that “the fact that the Supreme court made observations does not mean it has the legal to rule on matter. There are instances where Courts make remarks that are not enforceable. That is why the Certified true copy (CTC) of the judgment as assertion to determine the scoop of the rulings”.
