The Rivers State government has reacted to the new Federal High Court ruling in Abuja, which ordered the cessation of local government allocations, stating that the ruling was anticipated due to various developments during the court process.

Rivers state Commissioner for Information, Joe Johnson, on Wednesday , October 30 said;, “When the trial Judge refused to add the 23 Council Chairmen as parties, declined the State’s request to change its lawyer, and overruled our jurisdiction objection, it was evident, we saw it coming ” he stated.

Johnson revealed that the state government had appealed the decision, expressing confidence that the Court of Appeal would overturn the ruling.

Wednesday’s judgment by a Federal High Court in Abuja, ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to halt all payments to the state local government councils.

This comes as the power play between former Rivers governor Nyesom Wike and his former protege and current Rivers governor, Siminialayi Fubara, continues to exacerbate.
