Former Senate President and the Chairman Board of Trustees (BOT), of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Adolphus Wabara, has expressed disappointment over Yesterday’s judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja which ordered the seizure of statutory allocations to Rivers State Government.
The former Senate President who described the judgment as judicial insensitivity and an invitation to anarchy, said that “the judiciary has failed Nigeria.”
Senator Wabara who spoke exclusively with Vanguard, warned that the outrageous court order is capable of cutting off Nigeria’s oil revenue” as youths in the state might be tempted to return to the creeks in response.
He further argued that if the judiciary had handled Rivers’s crisis “professionally abinitio, instead of dishing out conflicting intentional orders and judgements, Rivers State wouldn’t have been in this judicial mess.”
“But for these intentional orders and judgments, INEC would have conducted an election to replace the 27 lawmakers who have constitutionally lost their seats”, Senator Wabara fumed.
He further proclaimed :”These judges have gone haywire. Nigeria is gone! The judiciary has failed Nigeria. As far as I’m concerned, Nigeria is gone!
“Can they (judges) also give an order that the allocation meant for the judiciary be stopped?”
