Club 401: Seems Like Some People Are Tired of Gov. Wike's 'Jamboree'


Listen Later

A group under the aegis of CLUB-401 dragged the Rivers State Government in Nigeria to court over the building of multi million naira homes for Judges in the State.
CLUB-401 in the suit filed at the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt, Nigeria said the action of the Governor is bad precedent, because it violates the rule of Separation of Powers as enshrined in Nigeria's 1999 Constitution.
The group also questioned the purchase of vehicles for members of the National Assembly, building of hostels and auditorium for the Nigerian Law School in Bayelsa State, building of quarters and offices of Federal establishments and hosting of conferences for professional organisations; all with Rivers State funds.
The suit is also asking the Court to make declarations the Governor Nyesom Wike should stop spending funds that are not appropriated for in the budget on thing that have no economic value for Rivers State.
Attorney General of Rivers State, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly and the Council of Legal Education of Nigeria are all defendants in the matter.
