Adamawa State Drags FG to Supreme Court over Alleged FAAC Deductions | #Politicsnigeria

The Adamawa State government has filed a lawsuit against the federal government at the Supreme Court, challenging alleged unconstitutional deductions from the Federation Account.

The state seeks a definitive interpretation of Section 162 (1), (2), and (3) of the constitution, which governs revenue distribution among all tiers of government.

According to a statement released by Humwashi Wonosikou, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, on Wednesday evening, the state government insists that the entire sum in the Federation Account must be distributed without deductions, except as permitted by law.

The government emphasizes that the president must strictly comply with the Constitution in managing and distributing revenue.

The Adamawa State government argues that all revenue collected, except those exempted by the constitution, must be paid into the Federation Account for distribution to all tiers of government.

The state seeks a declaration from the Supreme Court that any deductions or withholdings made without constitutional backing be declared unconstitutional.

The government stresses that the federal government’s discretion to manage revenue is limited to only what is expressly permitted by the Constitution. Adamawa State seeks a strict interpretation of the constitution to ensure that revenue distribution is conducted without arbitrary deductions or withholdings by the federal government.

I believe in the unity of our nation and trust that the Supreme Court will make a fair ruling that will benefit all Nigerians and move our country towards a brighter future.

I applaud Tinubu for standing up for the FG and defending them against these allegations.

Looks like Adamawa State is tired of playing Where's Waldo with their share of FAAC funds.

Wondered why it took so long for one of the states to file a suit.
Over the last year, Tinubu withheld more than N5T.
Sooner or later, someone will ask questions.

-Lord

Good Luck.!!

What is Adamawa's contribution to the Revenue generation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? Let's start from there.

Some States that have every right to complain if their FAAC reduce are:

Lagos - 1.01B as at 2023
Rivers - 220B
Ogun - 210.25B
Delta - 95B
Kaduna - 89B
Imo - 83B
Oyo - 83B
Edo - 60B
Osun - 48B
Anambra - 48B
Akwa Ibom - 47B
Kwara - 41B
Kano - 40B


Adamawa's contribution is 20B and they are still complaining If this regional thingy comes through, all these states go hear am ehn!!!

He will still do 8years straight. And you will still be wailing

Bmaster:
it seems Tinubu wants to have his Revenge.but to think again,that Atiku drag tinubu and Chicago university has nothing to do with the people of Adamawa State oo

This has nothing to do with this topic

Adamawa state government should be thinking outside the box.

Have they ever thought a time will come when they will not be receiving federal allocation.

When we are ready for the real change, we will restructure the economy and polity. We will devolve power from the central back to the regions and by extension, the states.

See Liability wey dy complain

What is your contribution to Nigeria economy with that your poor IGR, you want to feed fat on Niger Delta oil money.

His Excellency, president Tinubu should pls quickly implement this regional government thing.

Ogun has more companies cos it shares boarder with Lagos state.

SocialJustice:
How is Ogun contributing so much?

State government should sue FG to court for, FG don't have right to collect internal revenue in state and now share it to state government is against the constitution,
