Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, on Tuesday met with heads of security agencies in the state.<\/p>\n

The governor convened the meeting to address the crises in some local government secretariats in the state.<\/p>\n

The state has been gripped by tension arising from the expiration of the tenure of the local government chairmen.<\/p>\n

Fubara had earlier on Tuesday directed the 23 local government chairmen in the state to hand over to heads of administration of their various councils.<\/p>\n

He gave the directive after the council chairmen refused to vacate offices and claimed their tenures had been extended by six months.<\/p>\n

The governor, who addressed journalists after the meeting, said the meeting was to devise effective strategies to prevent further invasions of local government offices.<\/p>\n

He warned the chairmen against unlawful attempts to return to their positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must respect the rule of law and the democratic transitions that uphold our governance structures,\u201d the governor stated.Balanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.<\/p>\n
