A State High Court in Portharcourt has granted an
order preventing the Sole Administrator from resuming his duties in Rivers
State pending the determination of the substantive suit.
The suit was filed by Hon. Edison Ogaranya, former
Chief of Staff to the immediate past governor of Rivers Rivers, His Excellency
Similaye Fubara. Edison argued that the presidential pronouncement of State of
emergency in Rivers State is unconstitutional.
Justice Danagogo, in his wisdom, granted the prayers
of the former chief of staff to suspended governor Fubara and urged all parties
to maintain the status quo.
