Military administrators may soon be appointed to oversee Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.
At the expiration of the third tranche of emergency rule in the North-East on November 20, President Goodluck Jonathan is in a fix on the next line of action because of the increasing Boko Haram insurgency in the geopolitical zone.
Jonathan may seek both legal and security advice in the week on the options available to the government.
According to findings, the president had on May 13 sought the nod of the National Assembly to extend the emergency rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.
But the request was granted on May 20 by the two chambers of the National Assembly.By constitutional implications, the third segment of the emergency rule will end on Thursday.
According to investigations, the options available to the president are three. A senior government official said: “ These are ending of the emergency rule, another extension and a declaration of a total emergency with military administrators in charge of the three states. Let me make it clear that the constitution is silent on how many times the president can extend emergency rule in a state or any part of the federation.
