The Federal High Court sitting in Awka has slated May 22 for hearing on the suit filed by activist and politician, Dr. Ifeanyichukwu Okonkwo, challenging the prolonged undemocratic constitution of local government administration in Anambra State.

In suit no FHC/AWK/CS/90/2024, which he instituted through originating summons, the plaintiff requested nine consequential reliefs/directing orders, premised on the interpretation of the previous judgment of the court on the same matter in suit no. FHC/EN//CS/2005, delivered on September 26, 2006, by Justice A. L. Allagoa of the Federal High Court Enugu Division.

Listed as 1st to 8th defendants respectively in the latest matter are the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Governor of Anambra State, Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Anambra State, and Anambra State House of Assembly. Others are former governors, Dr. Chris Ngige, Mr. Peter Obi, and Willie Obiano, for themselves and on behalf of their transition chairmen and councilors, and Mr.

It was reliably gathered that the latest development has thrown the Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers into panic, as the majority of their members who were presented for appointment by unelected council chairmen, are afraid that the court may nullify their appointment. This was happening amid unconfirmed reports that the Secretary of the State Local Government Joint Accounts Committee cancelled cheques earlier issued to the 21 LG transition chairmen for routine expenses in the councils for May.

Meanwhile, the court will on May 22, commence hearing on the substantive matter, alongside an application by the plaintiff for substituted service on some of the defendants who have allegedly been evading service.
