Ugochinyere: Rivers State council chair’s tenure ends despite Supreme Court ruling

A member of the House of Representatives, Rep. Ikenga Ugochinyere, has said that awaited Supreme Court judgement on local government autonomy will not affect the tenure expiration of local government chairmen in Rivers State on Monday.

Ugochinyere, who made this known on Friday, said that the tenure of Rivers State local government chairmen expires in a few days and no court can give them tenure elongation because it’s against the law and a treasonous act.
