What is happening in the country today as it relates to River State is an aberration, unknown to our Constitution and must be condemned by every discerning mind.
What we are witnessing in Rivers State is a brazen disobedience and disregard for the rule of law and our democratic principles. The decision to release statutory allocations to an appointed Sole Administrator, despite a standing order of the Supreme Court, is not just unlawful β it is a direct challenge to the authority of the highest court of our country.
The Supreme Court had explicitly barred the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) from releasing these funds until a properly constituted House of Assembly passes a valid Appropriation Act. Yet, we see a situation where this order is being ignored. This raises serious moral intentions, and questions of what is happening in Rivers State.
By disregarding the judgment of the Supreme Court, those involved are setting a dangerous precedent. The CBN and AGF, institutions meant to uphold the law, should not be complicit in this disregard for our judiciary. We cannot build a nation where those who swore oaths to uphold our constitution and obey the laws are doing the opposite.
This is about more than just Rivers State; it is about protecting the very fabric of our democracy, and our existence as a nation.
A country cannot function where the rule of law is trampled upon, where the separation of powers is disregarded, and where judicial decisions are treated as mere suggestions. If we continue this way, we are undermining the future of our democracy. We must choose to do the right thing β to respect the law and uphold the principles that bind us as a nation.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
The madness is thinking Tinubu would wait until 2027 or 2026 to start moving his pieces on chess board.
They just moved Wike right hand man in position. π
It is just dawning on me that what's happening in Rivers state with Sim Fubara, Wike and Tinubu could just be about the 2nd term election.
These people have started playing the long term game, make una open una eyes de watch wetin de happen.
@Coolverydarkma Wtf are you to speak to Ndigbo youths. Well in your defence you didn't spell it correctly not that I would have expected you to actually try.
Learning how to resist the lure of shiny trinkets is a life skill for Africans.
Inability to resist that lure is why our ancestors spent 3 entire centuries giving away the most precious thing in the world (humans) as part of a hideously weighted "trade" that left them weak and unable to resist colonisation.
That primal lure and their inability to resist it is why the place that was once famously called "White Man's Graveyard" became a pathetic British colony owned by a colonial holding company, and later a pathetic US neo-colony where US corporations use local kids for drug experiments without anybodyβs knowledge or consent.
Resist the urge to grasp every shiny thing placed in front of you.
That is the lifelong test of 21st century African civilisation.
