LG Polls: Stakeholder Urges Ex-Scribe To Contest
A stakeholder in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, Associate Professor Ben Ohia, has called on the immediate past secretary of the local government, Hon Job Vincent to contest for the forthcoming chairmanship seat of the local government council.
Ohia said this during a stakeholders’ meeting in Omoku, headquarters of the local government council.
According to him, since it was the turn of Constituency I to produce the next chairman of ONELGA the likes of Hon Vincent should be encouraged to run for the chairmanship slot of the council.
He described the former council secretary as a man with proven record of integrity, adding that the experience he garnered over the years in administration should be explored to improve the fortunes of the council.
Ohia also explained that “no chairman since the inception of the council had served for a second term, arguing that it will be an aberration for the current chairman of the council to talk of second term, when there was no such thing in ONELGA.
He further said Omoku was the only geopolitical zone that had not produced the council chairman since the inception of the LGA and called on the council chairman to respect the zoning system that has been respected by his predecessors.
Ohia said the people of Omoku whose turn it was to produce the next ONELGA chairman are solidly behind Hon. Job Vincent as he is tested and trusted administrator.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
