The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has mocked former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the Chairman of the party’s Governors Forum, Bala Mohammed over the Supreme Court judgement against Rivers State government.
Wike wondered if Atiku and Mohammed would continue to hail Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers for disobeying court orders like they did in the past following the Supreme Court judgment.
He was reacting to the Supreme Court judgment that ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Accountant General of the Federation to stop allocation to Rivers State government.
The Supreme Court ordered that the ruling would be in force until Fubara stops all his illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional activities.
It directed that funds would be released to Fubara’s government when a lawful Appropriation Law is enacted under the Martin Amaewhule Speakership.
In a judgment on Friday delivered by Justice Emmanuel Akomaye Agim, the Supreme Court also ordered the 27- members of Rivers House of Assembly to resume function immediately.
However, Wike said the judgment was an indication that the impunity in Rivers State must stop.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja, Wike said: “This are some of the things we see in this country, when you say something people will start to carry blackmail and would fall trap to that.
“For me, it’s happiness for Rivers people and Nigerians that yes this impunity must stop, enough is enough. You are aware when the issue of local government came up, a governor elected who has taken oath to abide by the constitution, came out to say that it’s a corrupt judgment.
“But we thank God, today the apex court had said it all, go back you have no budget; Central Bank and Accountant General, you can’t continue to release money when there is no government.
“Until you present your budget to the appropriate assembly, which is the 27 members, no money should be released.
“You refused to follow the electoral act in terms of conducting the local government election, what was the issue? INEC don’t release voters register if you don’t comply with court given order, you said no that you won’t obey and Nigerians were clapping.
“People like Atiku were hailing that yes you have done well, I hope they will also hail him today? I hope the Chairman of PDP governors forum will also hail him today?
“The Supreme Court has said enough is enough, we must not truncate our democracy. If they had allowed this, one day one member would constitute an assembly and there is nothing you can do.”
