Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Timi Frank, on Saturday, condemned the Supreme Court judgement that ordered the withdrawal of monthly allocation to local governments in Rivers State.

Frank who rejected the judgment and described it as criminal usurpation of allocation rightly belonging to Rivers people, called on Nigerians and members of the international community to hold President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, responsible for any breach of peace and anarchy that may arise from the people’s anger over the gross miscarriage of justice.

Frank who made these assertions in a statement in Abuja, said: “From the illegal judgment which came out from the Supreme Court against the Rivers State Government, the whole world knows that this is the most fraudulent judgement ever delivered in the history of Nigeria.

“How can the Supreme Court give this kind of anti-truth, anti-God, inhuman, anti-justice and compromised judgement that is obviously meant to give the opposition APC the leeway to take over Rivers State?

“This is a clear indication that the Supreme Court under Justice Kekere-Ekun has no capacity to reform the judiciary but rather arresting justice and selling it to the highest bidder.

“Besides, it is clear that all the justices that heard this matter merely ruled in favour of their paymaster notwithstanding the interest of the people and the need for peace, stability and development of Rivers,

“However, we are not surprised by the ruling especially when we know that the judiciary is the biggest beneficiary from the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike right from his days as a governor to being the Minister of the FCT.”

The political activist who is also the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) Ambassador to East Africa and the Middle East, added: “So any case that involves Wike’s interest in any part of Nigeria, they must definitely rule in his favour.

“But we warn the CJN to know that this judicial rascality, which is now the order of the day in the country under her watch, will set Nigeria on fire ans plunge the country into avoidable anarchy.

“We make bold to say that everybody knows that the suspended 27 lawmakers from River State, illegally defected from PDP to APC and despite this kangaroo judgement, they are no more members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

“By giving order to withhold the local government allocation to Rivers State is to weaken and undermine the Siminalayi Fubara’s administration and using the order of court to starve the people of Rivers State that voted Fubara to power.”

He lamented that despite the judicial overreach, and attempt to foist illegality in Rivers State, President Tinubu sees noting wrong with the affront on democracy in Rivers and by extension, Nigeria despite purportedly claiming to be a defender of democracy.

He accused the present administration, led by Tinubu of plotting to take over Rivers State at all cost, by empowering the illegitimate and suspended lawmakers through the courts to impeach Fubara.

He however urged the Rivers people, despite the broad day judicial robbery, not to give up the struggle but to stand strong and mobilise necessary support for Fubara who is fighting to save Rivers’ common wealth and defend the nation’s constitution.

I don't understand what all this noise, just present the 2024 budget to the authentic house Assembly members and the allocation will be released. Just do the right thing according to law case close

Thos judgement will no doubt bring lots of problem to the Oil region of the state.
This is obviously caused by the greed of a single individual. The consequences economically will be hradh to the nation.
As an Ijaw Man, which constitutes the majority will certainly not take it lightly.

Tinubu kwa...

How?

Be like say guyman don dey cash out for rivers ooo.see cheeks abeg

More more more🤗🤗🤗

Before the State start to feel the impact of zero allocation, Fubara should obey the law or be impeached immediately before the State begin to feel the pains of zero allocation

There was no unrest in Rivers State when the supreme court affirmed Gov Fubara as governor of Rivers State so there won't be unrest in Rivers State now that the supreme court affirmed Amaewhule as speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly.

If he disobeys the supreme court again Rivers people will disobey the supreme court that affirmed him as our governor by not accepting him as governor of Rivers state simple. That madness is in all Rivers people.

If governor Fubara allows them,he is a coward,the same Supreme Court should stop FG from exploring and exploiting Rivers resources.

I am not a Wike or Tinubu fan.
But truth be told.
On the context of River's state politics,
Fubara have been misled.
Those who misled him are now dieing one by one. e.g E.K Clark.
He should retract his steps before is too late.
NIGERIA politics is not the same as what you read in our text book's.

What are you waiting for?

All these intimidations and blackmailing should stop, Rivers state is just one the states of the federation and operating under the same federal law.Metioning president name will not change the supreme court judgements

Mr President has tried his best to reconcile the warring factions at the initial stage but they choose to go for court process.

What I'm expecting any lovers of Rivers state now is to find how the governor will reconcile with the law makers so that Rivers state will be peaceful in order for Rivers state people to enjoy benefits of democracy and good governance.

This man talks carelessly.

They'll incite violence with their rhetorics. When the fight start now, they run abroad with their families.

It was this same kekere ekun that destabilised imo state after making uzodima governor someone that took fourth position in an election nigeria currently doesn't have any judiciary under her watch. Whoever wants to defeat tinibu in 2027 presidential election better do it clean and clear if not this woman will definitely upturn that victory with technicalities.

The same justice kekere ekun gave judgement in imo gubernatorial tussle where we saw someone who came fourth position declared winner.
The anticidents proves that there is no hope for reforms in the judiciary.

Anybody wey wan die, make he start unrest nah
