Beautifulday:Okay let's agree that Tinubu has pocketed Lagos according to you right? So what about the other 35 states that aren't pocketed by anybody, why are they yet to catch up with Lagos in terms of visible development. Why are they not overpopulated like Lagos State? At least a pocketed state ought not to be overpopulated. |

akpumping7720:To enlighten people like you is impossible. Osun state will do better with the resources of Lagos state than Lagos is doing recently. Lagos was the capital of Nigeria before. It host the nation international seaports and airport and it's has two borders with other nations. It's a pity you people don't know what Tinubu has done to Lagos treasury |

The Nigerian President does not have "sole jurisdiction power" to unilaterally or arbitrarily direct the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or move unclaimed funds, as executive directives must still operate within the bounds of the 1999 Constitution and existing statutory laws like the Finance Acts and the Proceeds of Crime Act. Constitutional and Legal Realities 1. Separation of Powers: The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) does not grant the President sole or absolute jurisdiction over public or private funds. Executive authority must be exercised in accordance with the Constitution and extant Acts of the National Assembly. 2. Statutory Trust Funds: Unclaimed dividends and dormant account funds are regulated by specific legislative frameworks (such as provisions relating to the Unclaimed Dividends Trust Fund and Dormant Accounts Trust Fund under capital market and banking laws). Moving them requires compliance with or amendment of those governing statutes, not merely an executive pronouncement. 3. The Requirement of Due Process and Court Orders: As clarified by the administration's own briefing on the NELFUND funding directive, funds subject to ongoing litigation or legal challenges are strictly excluded, and relevant ministries and the Attorney-General of the Federation must establish a legal and operational framework rather than executing arbitrary seizures. 4. Protection of Private Property: Section 44 of the Nigerian Constitution guarantees the right to private property and prohibits compulsory acquisition of any right or interest in property without prompt compensation and due process of law. Private citizen funds held in dormant accounts or unclaimed dividends cannot be arbitrarily confiscated without proper legal mechanisms or statutory trusteeship provisions. fergie001: |
