 Politics › Rivers Will Receive Federal Allocation Despite Legal Battle – FG by EtteP(op): 8:25am On Nov 23, 2024 |
The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation says it will adhere to court orders regarding the disbursement of federal allocations to Rivers State, following recent legal controversies surrounding the state’s financial entitlements. Speaking to The PUNCH on Friday, the Director of Press and Public Relations at the OAGF, Bawa Mokwa, said, “We are going to obey court order. “Since there is a notice of appeal, the notice of appeal has overridden the earlier court judgment. So far, it is a court order that we will obey; if there is a notice of appeal, Rivers will be paid.” The assurance comes amid a Federal High Court ruling on October 30, 2024, which directed the Central Bank of Nigeria to withhold further monthly allocations to Rivers State. The court ruled that Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s presentation of the 2024 budget to a four-member House of Assembly was unconstitutional. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, who delivered the judgment, stated that since January 2024, allocations received and spent by the state were based on an illegitimate budget, describing it as a “constitutional aberration.” The ruling raised questions over the legitimacy of the State House of Assembly’s composition and its authority to approve budgets. The judge contended that the governor’s actions ignored constitutional requirements for budget approval by a fully constituted House of Assembly. Delivering judgment in suit FHC/ABJ/CS/984/2024, Justice Abdulmalik declared that decisions made by the four-member Fubara-backed Assembly were void, referencing prior rulings by the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal that had annulled its authority. The ruling also held that Fubara’s actions violated Sections 91 and 96 of the 1999 Constitution, and warned that any continued bypassing of legislative processes constituted an affront to the rule of law. The court’s decision followed a suit filed by the State House of Assembly faction led by Martin Amaewhule, challenging the legitimacy of the four-member faction loyal to Fubara. The Amaewhule-led Assembly had earlier declared in July that all state expenditures would be halted until the governor resubmitted his budget to the legitimate legislative body. Justice Abdulmalik denied a request to stay the proceedings, dismissing the application as “frivolous and vexatious.” She also refused to recuse herself from the case, rejecting the defence’s allegations of bias. However, the Rivers State Government swiftly filed a notice of appeal against the ruling. Source: https://punchng.com/rivers-will-receive-federal-allocation-despite-legal-battle-fg/?

| Politics › Rivers APC Reacts To Wike, Fubara Fight, Arson Attack At Assembly Complex by EtteP(op): 4:38pm On Oct 30, 2023 |
The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has condemned in very strong terms the destruction of public assets at the State Assembly complex. DAILY POST reported that there was an arson attack on the chambers of the state assembly on Sunday night. The APC, the opposition party in the state, described the development as a desecration of the legislature. A statement signed by Darlington Nwauju, spokesperson of the Rivers APC, warned political actors not to jeopardize the fragile security of the state because of their political greed. “We had warned Rivers people of the 3rd term ambition of the immediate past Governor, Nyesom Wike and the unpatriotic agenda to continue to emasculate the state and keep our people perpetually in poverty with the “consolidation of a convoluted economy powered by merchantile distribution of state resources”, the statement said.

| Politics › Akpabio Won Free, Fair And Square, Kalu Declares by EtteP(op): 11:52pm On Jun 28, 2023 |
The Senate Majority Whip in the ninth Senate, Orji Kalu, has said that the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, won the contest in a free, fair and credible manner. The former Governor of Abia State was reacting to media reports that some unnamed 22 Senators of the All Progressives Congress were planning to leave the party for another opposition party because of the outcome of the Senate election. Kalu, who spoke on a recorded video through his verified Facebook account, said, Let me be honest with you, the election in the Senate was very transparent. Senator Akpabio won the election. It was free, it was fair. ” I congratulate the Clerk of the National Assembly, I congratulate the Clerk and all the Staff of the Senate. You know I cannot lie against my conscience. Akpabio won the election hands down.” “There was no controversy about who won the election. If there is anything other person wants to say, that is their business. Akpabio, to my conscience, to my seeing and to my honour, won the election and we have since congratulated him,” he stated. Speaking further, Kalu, who also aspired for the office of the President of the Senate, said, “There are no two Senates in the history of the Senate. There is only one Senate. On June 13, we decided to have one Senate. “There are no pro and anti-Akpabio Senators. Even Senator Abdulaziz Yari, understands we have to work with Akpabio. He is the Senate President. We have congratulated him and I am using this Sallah period to appeal to our people to come together and work as one Senate,” he declared.

| Science/Technology › Deadliest Snakes In The World. by EtteP(op): 10:34am On Jun 27, 2023*. Modified: 11:21am On Jun 27, 2023 |
1. Saw-scaled viper (Echis carinatus) When discussing venomous snakes, deadly could mean one of two things. It could either mean the snake that kills the most people, or it could mean the most highly toxic snake - the one that is most likely to kill you if it bites you. These can be very different things, as those with the most potent venom are not necessarily the most common, commonly in contact with humans, aggressive, or bold. The snake that is thought to kill the most people annually, and therefore the world's deadliest snake, is the saw-scaled viper, a particularly aggressive species found in the Middle East and central Asia. It is this aggression, as well as its presence in densely populated areas, that determines its deadliness, making it responsible for an estimated 5,000 human fatalities per year in India alone.

These people have made up their minds to completely destroy the public university system. Is this what a professors takes home in the universities that their own children do attend? 342,000 per month (less than $1,000) after about 20 years in service, and so many promotions. This is just the end of the public university in Nigeria. 7 Likes 3 Shares

| Politics › Igbo President Will Emerge After Tinubu’s Tenures ― Idimogu by EtteP(op): 1:18pm On Jul 23, 2020*. Modified: 1:35pm On Jul 23, 2020 |
Hon. Jude Chukwuemeka Idimogu, representing Oshodi/Isolo Constituency 2 in the Lagos State House of Assembly has assured south easterners of the presidency after Bola Tinubu’s two-term tenure as president. Idimogu, who was recently elevated as the Apex Leader of the Ndigbos in Lagos State, made this known in an interview with journalists recently held in Lagos. He told his fellow Easterners that power is not served to allocate; hence, they must all struggle to achieve it. By the time Tinubu is through with his two-term tenure, he would look at how he could support the South East. The People of the South-East should know that positions are not just given, they must struggle for it, and that they were not struggling enough. Also, South-East should know that they must work in tandem with other tribes, they must collaborate and that is the only way they can get it. Either they work with the South West or the North. The leaders of the Yorubas in this state would continue to control the state. The Ibos should fall in line with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC in Lagos State and it shall be better for all of us. Once you support the party, you will get something,” while promising that 70% of the Ibos in Lagos State would vote for the APC in 2023,” he said. He said that time had come for the Ibos to be more interested in politics and support the party in power. The lawmaker declared that the South Easterners were being mobilised to support the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he said could give them better chances politically. We have started already, the train has left the station. We have been visiting all the local governments in Lagos State to tell the Ibos that things have changed. Once you support the party, you will get something,” while promising that 70% of the Ibos in Lagos State would vote for the APC in 2023,” he said. Today, APC is the party that is ruling in Nigeria and they rule in Lagos State. Instead of us to protest that we are being marginalized, thank God, the word “marginalized” is no longer being mentioned, I don’t know what happened. If you say somebody marginalises you, do you marginalise yourself? Today, it is my joy that by the grace of God, He has put me in a little higher level in Lagos State politically. It is my duty to go round and tell them that we will gain a lot when we are fully involved in politics,” he said. Idomogu explained further that a typical Iboman is a businessman, and that they are not concerned about the government. He said that Ibo men are more concerned about making money unlike Hausamen, who he said to carry their transistor radio all about and listen to the news, This, he stated was why Ibo people are seen everywhere in terms of business, and trading every day, adding that an Ibo man goes out in the morning and comes back late in the night. If you look at it, the South West is more prepared for the presidency in 2023 and we are believing that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has a better chance,” he said.
