A Federal High
Court in the FCT Tuesday declined to hear a suit challenging the
legality of funds deducted as security votes by the powerful and
influential Governors of Nigerian states and the Minister of the
Federal Capital territory (FCT).
Presiding Judge, Justice Adamu Bello, who made the ruling, said
the court has no jurisdiction on the matter before striking out the
suit filed by a legal practitioner, Chief Nkereuwem Akpan.
Some State Governors often deduct as much as N500, 000, 000
(five hundred million naira) about $3.4m monthly as security
votes. Because they are deducted from the treasury as security
votes, the governors expend the funds discretionally.
The Plaintiff had sued the 36 state governors, Minister of the FCT,
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as well as the
Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences
Commission challenging the legality of the deductions.
In his judgment, Justice Bello noted that the plaintiff had the locus
standi to file the case as a matter of public interest, but held that
the court had no jurisdiction over the major parties in the case,
being the state governments and the FCT listed as the 1st to 37th
defendants respectively.
The judge said his court could not adjudicate over matters
involving the states, adding that the presence of the EFCC and the
ICPC, which are agencies of the federal government, among the
defendants could not confer the court with jurisdiction because
they (EFCC and ICPC) are mere ancillary parties.
“There is no doubt that the FHC has been empowered to interpret
the 1999 Constitution as it affects the Federal Government and its
agencies.
“The 1st to 37th defendants are neither the Federal Government
nor its agencies.
“This court does not have the power to exercise jurisdiction over
37 out of the 39 defendants.
“I cannot assume jurisdiction over the main parties in the suit.
“The suit as a necessity should be struck out and is struck out,”
Justice Bello declared.
Plaintiff Vows To Appeal Ruling
The plaintiff apparently dissatisfied with the ruling told reporters
outside the court house that the suit will go all the way to the
Supreme Court.
“We are going all the way to the Supreme Court – as far as I am
concerned those monies are being misappropriated.
“If you stop security vote nobody will want to be a governor
anymore,” he said.
In the originating summons, the plaintiff outlined nine questions
for the court to determine, among which included “Whether by
virtue of the extant, sacrosanct and combined unequivocal
provisions of section 16(2), section 120 (and other relevant
provisions) of the 1999 Constitution Cap C 23, Laws of the
Federation of Nigeria 2004, any of the defendants have the power,
without lawful authority, to deduct monies from the statutory
allocation made from the Federation Account to each of the States
of the Federation or the Federal Capital Territory under the guise
of “Security Vote”.
He also asked the court to determine whether the policy of
security vote was recognized either by the 1999 Constitution or
any other law in the country.
The plaintiff also asked the court to determine whether, going by
the provisions of section 205(d) of the 1999 Constitution, “the
criminal deductions so made by the defendants is not fraudulent,
illegal, void and unconstitutional, and whether the 1st to 37th
defendants (governors and FCT minister) are not to that extent in
breach of their oath to office for bare violation of the
Constitution.”
The plaintiff said he was empowered by section 16 of the 1999
Constitution, and section 51 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007,
as a citizen of Nigeria, “to know the details of these gargantuan
and mind bogging deductions and expenditure tagged as
“security votes” and wantonly misappropriated and otherwise
illegally deducted by the 1st to 37th defendants from the
statutory allocations that went to each of the various states of the
Federation and the FCT from the Federation Account since May
29th 1999 till date.”
The court was equally asked to determine “whether the
defendants should not be compelled to return the monies illegally
deducted and misappropriated as security votes.”
He also asked the court to order the state governors and the FCT
minister to return to the treasury the sums they had already
deducted and collected as security votes.
Akpan further asked the court to declare that the EFCC and the ICPC
were in breach of their statutory mandate for failing to
investigate the security vote deductions made by the state
governors and the FCT minister.
He also asked the court to order the two anti-graft agencies to
immediately commence investigations into the security vote
deductions, and prosecute the governors and the FCT minister
once their immunities expire upon leaving office at the end of
their term or removal from office.

ROSSIKE: Yes, he is our Mandela. You don't need to be jailed for 27 years to be a 'Mandela'. Which other Nigerian president has expanded agriculture, fixed the railway, remodelled 22 airports, repaired thousands of miles of federal roads, transformed the power sector, banking sector, telecoms, construction etc, all within a space of 2 years? He is even better than Mandela sef.
