Rivers State Appeals Federal Court Ruling on Local Government Allocations Halt
The Rivers State government has responded to the Federal High Court’s ruling in Abuja, which ordered the suspension of local government allocations.
Commissioner for Information, Joe Johnson, indicated on October 30 that the state anticipated the ruling due to developments during the trial, including the refusal to allow the 23 Council Chairmen to join the case, the denial to change the state’s legal representation, and the dismissal of jurisdiction objections.
Johnson confirmed that the state has filed an appeal, expressing optimism that the Court of Appeal would overturn the decision.
The Federal High Court’s order directs the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to halt payments to Rivers’ local governments, amid ongoing tensions between former Governor Nyesom Wike and current Governor Siminialayi Fubara.

Isaac Fayose Criticizes Government Over Taxation and Insecurity
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
