Nigerians on social media have reacted to the Abuja Federal High Court's decision to stop federal allocation to the Government of Rivers State.
reported earlier this morning that the Federal High Court in Abuja stopped the Central Bank of Nigeria from further releasing monthly financial allocations to the Rivers State government. The court held that the receipt and disbursement of monthly allocations since January this year by Governor Siminalayi Fubara is a constitutional somersault and aberration that must not be allowed to continue.
recalls that the Court of Appeal in Abuja had dismissed an appeal filed by Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers to challenge the lower court judgment affirming the Martin Amaewhule-led Rivers House of Assembly. A three-member panel of justices, led by Justice Oyewole in a unanimous judgment, affirmed the January 22 judgment by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, nullifying the passage of Rivers State’s N800 billion 2024 budget by four members of the House of Assembly.
recalls that Justice Omotosho had, on January 22, set aside the Rivers’ N800 billion budget passed by five members of the House led by the Edison Ehie-led faction. The panel, which dismissed the appeal, consequently ordered Governor Fubara to resubmit the budget to the Martin Amaewhule-led Assembly.
