Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal high court Abuja has stopped the federal government from executing its plan to deduct $418million dollars from the bank account of the 36 states.

The Judge issued the restraining order against the federal government following an exparte application argued by counsel to the 36 states Jibril Otukepa and Ahmed Raji both senior advocate of Nigeria

While moving the application Mr Otukepa told the judge that the states would be completely crippled if the federal government should go ahead to deduct the huge amount from the bank accounts of its clients.

The federal government predicted the plan to deduct the $418million from the state account monthly as part of debts for contracts allegedly executed for the states.

After listening to the arguments of the 36 states Justice Ekwo ordered the federal government not to go ahead to make any deduction from the state account in respect of the purported court judgment until all issues relating to it are fully determined.

Court did not stop the states from gbese

No court of law can stop a lien when the debtor has not declared Bankrupt. The state should rather show willingness to pay on instalments

AllahIsShit:
Except that a lot of that money was spent on executing projects which the buhari administration ignored. States are owed money, not the other way round.

Then the states should do proper costing of work done and seek to offset their loans with it.

AllahIsShit:
The states are already submitting their claims, but the FG lacks the financial muscle to satisfy just 10% of what they owe the states, so the FG effectively has no leverage

The states have a good case then, they should follow it up to the letters.

Thanks for the clarifications, better you per day.

That's Nigeria for you. Just imagine
Did it not favour "them"?

States : utilize your money well.
Let the people you govern enjoy the basic amenities of life.
They are not asking for too much,
Just good roads, drinkable water, hospital, schools, Foods, low cost housings etc.
That is the basic thing your citizens need.

Citizens :
Y'all should stop shouting Buhari Upandan while your governors, local government chairmen, councilors continue looting your lives and the lives of your unborn kids right in front of you
Truth is not bitter, just that people are bitter to the truth.

Nuff said!

legendgalas:
Hold your governors for poor development not the federal

Don't mind them.
They have been blinded by Hatred and bitterness,
So they can never listen to sane minded individuals like you.
Even if a bench in their village market got broken, it is still Buhari they will be shouting!

A better Nigeria all around is all we want.
Nigeria will be great in our lifetime
No 2 ways about it.

God bless Nigeria.

budaatum:


I believe I got this from you.

Oh yes, you did!
We remembered when we posted it a while back.
Let us keep being beside the truth,
And posterity will judge us all.
God bless You Budaatum.
God bless Nigeria.

Once they settle, they will be considered

Lol

But why should the state owe monies and refuse to pay?

If the contractors are not paid, how are they gonna pay their staff? How would the companies grow? How would the economy grow?

State governors have been robbing their states with reckless abandon, knowing whatever they do, all they need to do to absolve themselves from reproach is to attack the FG. Ortom is most guilty of this. The only businesses flourishing in Benue state today are those owned by Oracle- Ortom's company.

It's a pity.

When they were plnning to get huge and humungous loan from the federal government, they didn't go to court, but time to repay, they are all running helter skelter, from one court to another.

We're waiting to see the reactions from our elfgee. Nevertheless, let's draw closer to God. Almost everything is working against the existence of humans. But with God, nothing shall be impossible. Know your God and let Him too know you.

States can rush to court to ask them to mandate FG to pay the bills they (states) used to execute federal project but also can run to court to mandate them to stop FG from collecting or retrieving money they used for project execution on be half of states.

Nigeria was a country

God have mercy on us

buhari is the best president both in APC and PDP

afonja
take yur place

APC change
PDP power to the veevle

THIEF dey thief THIEF

only if you understand.

How can loan deductions be "unlawful"?

Lol!!!

Lol
This is probably the most corrupt government ever in the history of the country
At the end of the day,they act like saint fighting corruption but all they do is arrest youths that are into crime......
Yes what they are doing isn’t right but are the government helping situation either
You just can’t wake up one morning and read good news about the country
You can’t predict to get the same thing you got with 10 naira the next day!!!
This country na wa!!!!

.

Useless govt of self serving THIEVES

Na waa Ooo..
..
What's all these unconstitutional activities going on in this country sef??
..
Why are these authorities over-stepping their boundaries?

PDP states governors want to rescue Nigeria from APC, after collecting loans and bail out from APC federal government.



If other states can't pay, Benue must pay. Ortom cannot be taking money from a Fulani terrorist president.

poor reporting once again. Why cant the article state the nature of this contract?
The contract relate to a purported consultancy services rendered by this agents to recover over-recovered Paris club loans from FG on behalf of state and local governments. Why two tiers of Nigerian government will need a private consultant to do this is beyond me. and the identity of this contractors is also cause for concern.

Former thread on this.

Money that has end up in governors pockets.if they are not bankrupt should be compel to pay their debts.imagine some starts cannot pay workers salaries, pensions, bursaries,no infrastructural development yet they dnt have money, where is d money at?

Except that a lot of that money was spent on executing projects which the buhari administration ignored. States are owed money, not the other way round.
