“Consequently, only meetings situated with the provision of the constitution will be allowed as henceforth.

“By implication, all Ward Chairmen and executives are restricted to their respective Wards and to the local government to the extent of their involvement in the LG Executive Committee.

Any meeting outside the LG Executive meeting requires the express permission of the LG Executive through the LG Chairman, provided that no ward chairman shall operate outside his or her LG at all.

“Anambra State-wide meeting of ward chairmen is hereby dissolved and the meeting of ward chairmen in their LG requires permission from the LG Executive.”

“Similarly, the meeting of LG chairmen is equally dissolved. Subsequent meetings will require the permission of the SEC through the SWC.

“No position known as chairman of Ward Chairmen is recognised.

“All other bodies without constitutional roots are completely outlawed.”
