They denied you palliative during the covid19 the world most trying time...

They never made comments when we students were on strike for good 8months...

Fulani herdsmen killing, tinubu defended and asked where are cows...

They supported and defended buhari for the past 7yrs against the suffering masses...

Today, they suddenly turned the people's spokesperson...vote wisely

Vote OBI2023

Same way Ipob, unknown gun men have been killing your family since years and your Obituary doesn't see any reason to condemned them and you think that's reasonable enough?

Well the good news is that you guys are minority and as such your votes can't count.

Actually the Nigerian president is more than king he is the most powerful president is any democracy across the world.. thanks to your 1999 constitution .. he can issue an executive order to stop it..constitution give him that power.. but its not necessary in this case.. the injunction by supreme court is dead dead ab initio cos it was issued against FG and Not CBN.. CBN is the entity implementing the policy and any suit in that regards should commence at fedhigh court and should be against CBN not Fg the ruling is not binding on CBN.. the policy stands .. checkmate..they celebrated too early .. law is an ass..

Following sir... Very educating

Funny that the civil service organistations are now calling on Buhari to override a Court Order...when previously they were calling on him to follow court orders....

Strange.

(Personally, I am against the court order and regard it as flawed. But at the end, it's still the Supreme Court speaking, and she must be respected. Otherwise, anarchy. As said in the play 'A man for all seasons'...even the devil must be given benefit of law for our own safety)

Supreme Court and Executive Order 10: Matters arising,
By Reuben Abati

Premium TimesByPremium Times February 15, 2022

On Friday, the Supreme Court of Nigeria in a split decision voted 6-1 to nullify Executive Order 10 through which the Federal Government of Nigeria had sought in 2019, to give effect to Section 81 (3) and Section 121(3) of the 1999 Constitution, as altered by the 4th Alteration Act No. 4 of 2017, with regard to the financial autonomy of state judiciary and legislature which had been observed more in the breach by state governments and their Chief Executives. The Governors of the 36 states of the Federation had kicked against the Executive Order as an abbreviation of their rights under the 1999 Constitution. Collectively they elected to go to court, and hence asked the Court (a) to declare the Executive Order 10, unconstitutional and illegal; (b) compel the Federal Government to take up funding of capital projects for State High Courts, Sharia Court of Appeal and Customary Court of Appeal, and (c) refund to the 36 states a sum of N66 billion, being amount which they claimed to have spent on capital projects for the three courts in their respective states. To resolve the matter, the Supreme Court in addition to its panel of seven Justices invited five Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) as amici curiae (friends of the Court). On Friday, the court ruled 6-1 that the Executive Order 10 is ultra vires, unconstitutional, illegal, and therefore null, void and of no effect whatsoever. Their Lordships also resolved, 4-3 that the 1999 Constitution already expressly spells out the responsibility of the states and the Federal Government concerning the funding of the State High Courts, Sharia Court of Appeal and the Customary Court of Appeal, even if it is silent on capital projects. In sum, the Supreme Court rejected the request of the Attorney General of Abia State and 35 others with regard to the aforementioned (b) and (c) parts of their prayers.

Many commentators have so far tried to be diplomatic in their response to the ruling, but from the outcome as reported, it is not difficult to see that what the Supreme Court has done is to take a technical view of the matter and offer a strict interpretation of the Constitution, the powers of the President, the relationship between the states, and the limits of the Federal Government in the exercise of its powers as spelled out in the 1999 Constitution. Did the President of Nigeria actually act ultra vires? Justice Mohammed Dattijo, delivering the lead judgment declared that “This country is still a Federation and the 1999 Constitution it operates is a federal one. The Constitution provides a clear delineation of powers between the state and the Federal Government. The President has overstepped the limit of his constitutional powers by issuing the Executive Order 10. The country is run on the basis of the rule of law.” Okay. The law is what the judge says it is. The powers of the various tiers of government are defined in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of the 1999 Constitution pursuant to the doctrine of the separation of powers. Executive powers are vested in the President in Sections 5, 130, 132, 148(1), 151 such that in general, the President of Nigeria is one of the most powerful executives in the world invested literally with the status of a constitutional monarch. In Section 130 (2), he is actually described as “the \Head of State, the Chief Executive of the Federation and Commander-in-chief of the Federation.” The strong effect of the ruling by the Supreme Court in A.G. Abia and 35 ors vs. AG Federation is that there are limits to these powers, nonetheless.
Supreme Court in A.G. Abia and 35 ors vs. AG Federation is that there are limits to these powers, nonetheless.

By seeking to enforce and extend Section 121(3) of the 1999 Constitution, the President, in other words, encroaches on the right of state governments to receive money from the Federation Account on behalf of the state judiciary and legislature and transmit their share to them. Thus, the Federal Executive overreaches itself when it assumes it has the powers to strengthen Section 121(3) through what amounts to additional legislation. It is the duty of the legislative arm of government to make or amend laws under Section 6. EO 10 further amounts to an interpretation of the law by the Federal Government and that Executive arm of government acting as adjudicator. The powers in that regard belong to the judiciary under Section 6. So, while the EO 10 would have protected the judiciary against the rascality of state Governors riding roughshod over the judiciary and the legislature at the sub-national level, and the judiciary would have been a beneficiary of the order, their Lordships looked beyond benefit to the judiciary and took a strictly purist and technocratic view of the law. It would be wrong to assume that the judiciary has ruled against itself. If the Federal Government is allowed to overreach itself and the President permitted to usurp the functions of the legislature and the judiciary, that would be a prescription for anarchy and an endorsement of dictatorship..

Tinubu can not win a single polling unit even in the SW without vote buying, he is so used to vote buying by thiefing two bullion van during last election

All is fair in war

Most cherished democracy my foot. I must say that Military regime is better because this their democracy is worst as it has concentrated wealth in the hands of the few people.

It's affecting those that want to rig the election

They are the very same People who were complaining that Buhari doesn't obey Court orders


Don't mind them they only want to destabilise Nigeria so Elections won't hold

They don't care if the masses perish from hunger

Very Selfish People

Anything to cut afonja Tilumbu to sizes is highly welcomed.

Atiku is likely to win this election

If Obi holds strong in SE & SS, Atiku has no path to victory. Obi is eating up traditional PDP votes

Buhari should just ignore them

FINITO!!! Supreme Court order is just academic nonsense!

Emefiele is already being guarded by Presidential Guards, who will enforce Supreme Court wishes? Elrufai? <tcheeeew!

To someone like you, everything is politics. The guy who stripped himself naked in the banking hall out of frustration is Tinubu or any other politician? The woman who did the same na Tinubu's daughter? Are you aware of many ATM/banks that have been attacked? People could not get cash, used transfers not going, Internet banking, apps etc are failing, yet u believe you are punishing politicians who can still access cash while in their bedrooms.
It's when someone like becomes a direct victim of the unfortunate situation that you begin to cury sympathy from the public.

Na so o. The situation will even make rigging more possible because the people are very much impoverished. The insensitive decision of the federal government and its intended purpose has totally been defeated. Cashless policy should not be "kill them policy"

Below is what the Supreme Court held:

In his ruling, the Justice revealed that after careful consideration of the motion exparte, this application is granted as prayed.

“An order of Interim Injunction restraining the federal government through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) or the commercial banks from suspending or determining or ending on Feb. 10, the time frame with which the now older version of the 200, 500 and 1,000 denomination of the naira may no longer be legal tender pending the hearing and determination of their motion on notice for interlocutory injunction.”

These are the very same People who always accuse Buhari of not obeying Court orders

What exactly is their Problem?

Old Naira: Override Supreme Court’s judgment, invoke Executive Order — CSOs tell Buhari



https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/02/old-naira-override-supreme-courts-judgment-invoke-executive-order-csos-tell-buhari/

Vanguard is a well known propaganda newspaper since Jonathan's era. Is there any central body coordinating Civil Society Organizations in Nigeria? In Abuja, group of people come together to form a body that is not recognized by major CSOs. They organized an award ceremony, it was a flop.

Nigerians forget so easily the roll Tinubu played in the removal of president good luck Johnathan...

Black mailing him... He knows he his going no where .. Now he want to apply the same antic against FG..

Banks are hiding money, he pretend as if the policy is the problem....in a sense country Tinubu would have been disqualified because he feul the killing and burning of banks with his statement at abeokute...


The must interesting thing is that El-rufia with his PHD degree lost it when he attacked the northern elders... That was a total handing over of Victory to opposition... PDP or LP...

Northern are very angry with that statement..
Tinubu insulted Buhari and he lost kastina state..

El- rufia insult the northern elders and lost the North...

Watch the on folding of this in the last week to election...

what suffering? I don't have enough cash too but saying I'm suffering is just a joke taken too far.

I'll rather endure this period where politicians have little cash to influence the will of the people than allow some corrupt politicians buy their way to lead us. This one na time, Nigerians are just impatient.

Is money not flowing? Throughout this week, I've not bought airtime via paper but bank transfer. Buying fuel, POS, for groceries, enter the mall and use your 🏧.

The little cash at hand you need for this few period is also available in the #100 notes which isn't affected by the policies. I have close to #1000 on me now and all are #50 and #100

What about the money the CBN gave banks and they sold it out, diverted some and the politicians hijacked the others. Sterling bank in Abuja kept and refuse to give out over #200m given to them. Is that CBN's fault too

It is CBN fault.

Elrufai the chamelion have succeeded in turning buhari against Tinubu in an election cycle, I pity Tinubu that is dancing along, knowing fully well that elrufai is a snake, a snitch and an unreliable person, now they have dare buhari, he may allow them to have their way during the primary, but this time, Tinubu I really pity you.remember osun election,

U sound like u live in an urban city. Well more than half of the local governments in Nigeria dont have banks and no presence of network provider. So get small sense

That is the best idea so that BAT soldiers with their illicit fund will cry better
