In an interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Sunday, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Uwemedimo Nwoko, said he wants the appellate court to make its decision very clear to avoid “speculations and conjectures in the matter.” “That would appear to be the case, but as we are talking now, we have gone beyond that point. The governor has inaugurated caretaker committees at the expiration of the tenure of the last local government administration. Having done that, anybody that wants to challenge him will go to court.

Mr Effiong backed Mr Nwoko’s submission that the court should clarify the issue and bring some stability to its decision.On the importance of the anticipated verdict, Mr Effiong said the appeal would go either way but either side that is not satisfied with the appellate court verdict can approach the Supreme Court.
