Labour Party, LP chieftain and former governorship candidate in Lagos state, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour has taken to his official X account to react after court stopped Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, from releasing allocations to Rivers State.
According to PUNCH, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday stopped the Central Bank of Nigeria from further releasing monthly financial allocations to Rivers State Government.
Reacting to the report, Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour said how can a sane group approach the court to deny their people allocation that will inflict pain on them.
He said It is so painful that the country is now in the hands of a party and people whose interest supersedes that of the state.
According to Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour;
“Explain to me how any sane group will approach the court to deny their people allocation that will inflict untold pain and hardship on the people? At such a difficult time, How can these desperate politicians pretend not to know that it’s the ordinary man that will be so badly hit by this decision? It is so painful that our country is now in the hands of a party and people whose interest supersedes that of the state. Who do not care that a state burns as long as their vanities are met, Who do not care how many companies shutdown or how many become poor, as long as they maintain their hold on power”.
