Wike loses At Appeal Court, As Appeal Court Faulted The Stoppage Of FAAC To Rivers State

By

The Appeal Court has faulted the ruling of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which ordered the seizure of Rivers State allocations, and set aside the controversial judgment.

In a landmark judgment on Friday, the Appellate Court said that the lower court does not have the requisite jurisdiction to entertain the case and make the orders contained in the judgment on Rivers allocations.

The court noted that the mere presence of the federal agencies in the case was designed to cloth the court with jurisdiction.

The court, therefore, struck out the suit in the lower court.

It said, “The Trial Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to entertain the suit. Suit is struck out, and all orders made therein are set aside for want of jurisdiction”.

Recall that Justice Joyce Abdulmalik had ordered the seizure of allocations meant for the State, and directed the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the State’s bankers not to release funds to the State, claiming that the Governor didn’t present the State’s 2024 budget to the proper House of Assembly.

But the Appeal Court, in its ruling, nullified the lower court’s orders, insisting that the court overreached itself, and didn’t have the jurisdiction to even entertain the matter.

The states were listed as Anambra, Cross Rivers, Lagos, Ogun and Rivers.

A report by a think-tank, the SBM intelligence has shown that only five states in Nigeria can survive without allocation from the federation accounts.

The states were listed as Anambra, Cross Rivers, Lagos, Ogun and Rivers.

It was noted that between January and October, 2024, only five states listed above could survive their fiscal needs without allocation from the federally distributed revenue.

In the area of Value Added Tax, it was further stated in the report that many states in the country earn more revenue from value added taxation than they actually generated.

For instance, it was noted that Imo State got 1715% of what it generated as Value added tax between January and October 2024, Abia, Cross Rivers, and Kebbi were all said to have received 700% of their contribution into the VAT pool.

Lagos and Rivers were Said to have received the lowest VAT allocation.

It was stated that Lagos got 16.76% VAT, while Rivers state got 22%.

The report argued that the proposed tax reforms by President Tinubu fail to account for the uniqueness of certain regions.

“In the Northeast, states received 244.6% of their VAT contributions. The highest was Bauchi which received 384.94% of its VAT contributions and the lowest was Adamawa which received 165.69% of its VAT contributions.

This could exacerbate existing economic disparities” the statement noted

“There have been disagreements over the new tax reforms. Northern state governors for instance argue that this reform would harm the economic balance of the region.”

There have also been calls for wider consultations before the passage of the bill is done by the Nigerian lawmakers.

The founder and chief convener of Nigerian Youths for Good Governance, Mr. Igbedion Macaulay, has called on President Tinubu to grant former Governor of Delta State, Nigeria Chief James Onanefe Ibori, Presidential pardon

Mr. Macaulay who is a community leader as well as a known figure in Ika community made the call in an interview with our reporter recently at his Agbor residence, describing Ibori as a man who has wielded considerable empathy from Nigerians especially Deltans

He emphasized that, Ibori was a product of political vendetta, adding that, he was still one of the best Governors, Delta State had ever had

Mr. Macaulay, while speaking further, reiterated the need why Tinubu should grant him presidential pardon, noting that, as a good human and material manager, he should be pardoned to enable him navigate as well as interface between the good people of Delta State and the government.

Stressing his emphasis, Mr. Igbedion, recounted Ibori’s numerous works while he was the Governor, claiming that, he was still the voice of the ordinary people

He maintained that the resource control was the reason oil producing States were enjoying enormous benefits just as he urged Delta politicians, especially Ovie Omo Agege to stick to this move of granting Ibori Presidential pardon.

Speaking on Erhiatake Ibori’s resignation from the People’s Democratic Party, the community leader described it as a good move, calling on other well meaning Deltans and Ika alike to support her to surmount whatever obstacles that may face her through the journey of impacting her Constituency through the All Progressives Congress, APC, Political platform

“ When I heard the news of Ibori’s Daughter’s exit from PDP, I was happy. They have said that they would declare her seat vacant, but we are waiting for them.”

Mr. Macauley hinted our reporter that, the constitution was clear on why members who are occupying elective offices should leave the Party, which he claimed was sighted in her resignation letter

“ The Constitution said that one can leave his or her political Party when there is a crisis in the Party. And this is true. Let them go and resolve the crisis in their Party first before declaring her seat vacant.” He added

In line with his avowed commitment to supporting and boosting trade and commerce in the area, the Chairman, Ika South Local Government, Engr. Jerry Ehiwarior, Tuesday, visited the ongoing Ika Trade Fair, at the Government Field, Agbor.

The Chairman, who was accompanied by some staff of the local government, expressed delight with what was going on there.

He said that the increasing economic activities in the area, especially the ongoing trade fair during the current festive season, was an indication that the government had been able to create the enabling environment for socio- economic activities to thrive.

He pointed out that, “it is good to see economic activities like this during this period of festivity. I am very proud of the various vendors displaying their goods and services at their various stands.”

While commending the organizers for being able to put the event together, and for achieving great success, he called on the people to come out and patronize those who are selling and rendering different services.

He commended the participants for their bold initiative by venturing into business, rather than waiting for increasingly scarce white collar jobs.

“I am very impressed with what I am seeing here. From my observation, almost all the participants here are young people who have decided to chart a better course for their lives. I have always said that government cannot do it alone. We need the support of our people. And we are ready to always support our people to ensure they are gainfully engaged,” he added.

The Local Government boss noted that such events remained avenues for business people to showcase their goods and services, and a leap in the right direction, adding that his administration would continue to play a vital role in ensuring that the area grows in socio economic activities.

The high point of the visit was the inspection of the various stands by the chairman.
