This means that it was Tinubu that withheld the Rivers State allocations not supreme Court. Since the Supreme Court did not make any counter order before the allocations were released, they have turned to a rubber stamp SC. Every arm of government is now reduced to rubber stamp.

Good

Which budget is he operating? The same one the Supreme Corrupt Court directed CBN and AGF to withhold ?

With each ing day you find yourself at a loss as to how to understand Nigeria..

You cannot release allocation to a democratically elected Governor who is working with a budget ed by 4 lawmakers under the logic that "those 4 lawmakers only represent 12 percent of the state"

But you can release allocation to a man who is not even from the state , appointed by the President, without even one single lawmaker to make appropriation.


I need someone to help me understand this..

Surely the Nigeria Constitution never could have contemplated this absurdity.

Chai!!!

Time for choppings

The way I dey see this man so na only God know how many Olosho he go use Rivers allocation carry this night

See Igbo wailings

If Igbos no wail Wetin dem gain

Tinubu can be described as Pharoah

This is a suspicious move.

Under which budget? Mhen this is not democracy anymore, we are gradually missing tracks.

The same budget they faulted fubara for submitting it to few assembly will now be spent without appropriation by 1 man..
