Channels TV is now reporting that a member of the House of Representatives in Nigeria, Honourable Igariwey Onwe has sued President Muhammadu Buhari for granting a bailout to states, insisting that the decision was ‘unconstitutional, null and void’.
Hon. Igariwey filed the case with the Abuja High Court on Wednesday and is seeking to establish whether the President can by way of fiat, call for the appropriation and disbursement of public revenue from the distributable pool account to the Federal, State and Local Governments, without prescription from the National Assembly. Our President Buhari recently approved a N400 billion bailout package to enable states pay salaries to their workers.
Joined in the suit alongside President Buhari are the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister for Justice and the Federal Ministry of Finance. Others are the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, the Accountant General of the Federation and Auditor General of the Federation.

This Honorable is a dumb-ass, racist, illiterate and a stupid school boy that should be sent back to his village farming instead of him constituting nuisance in the national assembly. If a state is in distress and the federal government is capable to rescue the situation, wot is wrong with that!!! or is it the Americans we should go and call to come bail the states out. Muron honorable i know is wish is make buhari carry the N400 billion give only him, I sorry for pple wey vote the onyiara oloshi honorable sef lol
