| Federal Lawmaker Sues President Buhari Over Bailout by kriztovar(op): 2:16pm On Jul 16, 2015 |
A member of the House of Representatives in
Nigeria has sued President Muhammadu Buhari
for granting a bailout to states, insisting that
the decision was ‘unconstitutional, null and
void’.
Honourable Igariwey Onwe filed the
case with the Abuja High Court on
Wednesday.
He is seeking to establish, whether
the President can, by way of fiat,
call for the appropriation and
disbursement of public revenue
from the distributable pool account
to the Federal, State and Local
Governments, without prescription
from the National Assembly.
President Buhari had recently
approved a 400 billion Naira bailout
package to enable states pay
salaries to their workers.
Joined in the suit alongside
President Buhari are the Attorney
General of the Federation and
Minister for Justice and the Federal
Ministry of Finance.
Others are the Revenue
Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal
Commission, the Accountant
General of the Federation and
Auditor General of the Federation.
