The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has been asked to sack the recently appointed Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, retired.
While President Bola Tinubu was cited as the 1st defendant, the Attorney-General of the Federation, Vice Admiral Ibas, and Attorneys-General of the 36 states of the federation, were listed as 2nd to 39th defendants in the suit.
According to the Court document cited by ARISE Correspondent, the suit, filed by an Abuja-based legal practitioner, Mr. Johnmary Jideobi, is equally praying the court to set-aside as void, “all actions and decisions made by the Sole Administrator of Rivers State.”
The plaintiff further prayed the court to issue a perpetual order of injunction, restraining Tinubu, either by himself or his officers “from either removing, suspending or otherwise tampering with the tenure of the Governor and Deputy-Governor of Rivers State or any other State in Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, no date has been fixed for the matter to be heard.
