Governor Siminalayi Fubara has directed Heads Of Local Government Administration to immediately takeover the running of all 23 LGAs pending the conduct of a fresh election by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commision (RSIEC).

This is a significant political development in Rivers State. Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s directive for Heads of Local Government Administration (HLGAs) to take over the 23 LGAs suggests a major shake-up in local governance. It likely follows the expiration of the tenure of elected local government officials or a legal/political dispute regarding their legitimacy.
