The Port Harcourt division of the Court of Appeal on Monday dismissed two appeals filed by Local Government Chairmen loyal to former governor Nyesom Wike.

The appeals, marked CA/PH/137M/2024 and CA/PH/145M/2024, were filed by Hon. Enyiada Cookey-Gam and six others, challenging the decisions of the lower court regarding the elongation of the council leadership tenure.

However, the Court of Appeal found the appeals to be without merit and consequently struck them out.
