A political activist in Port Harcourt, Rex Daniel Amerika has warned political detractors to stop castigating the judiciary and FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike.

Amerika gave this warning in a release he personally signed on Tuesday stating the deliberate attempt by the Rivers government to hoodwink the judiciary and damage the impeccable records of the FCT Minister.

Hear him;

“Maybe his men defected, yet the prerequisites of DEFECTION were not met?? Isn’t it obvious that the defection drama was only a smokescreen? A ploy to distract the power mongers and subject them to making mistakes??
Come to think of it:

“If they hadn’t played defection, they wouldn’t have secured enough grounds to impeach him, he wouldn’t have committed the blunder of presenting budget to a 3-man Forum.

” Not defecting, wouldn’t have pushed SIM to come all out and show his true Character to the World. The defection playlet was bait Sim into irreparable errors.

“Defection drama has cajoled Sim into the bad books of the Judiciary and President Tinubu

“Defection charade has put Sim in a situation where he could only survive by surrendering himself to the Law and EFCC

“Defection bruhaha has also put a number of Pro-sim detractors and partners in crime in the radar of the Police and EFCC via caretaker, and APP false election emergence.

“DEFECTION saga has opened the eyes of all Political fathers and kingmakers. To be thorough and not be dissuaded by outward cloke of decency.

” The fact that the defectees did not do due diligence in their DEFECTION as enshrined in the party constitution, only shows it was only a scam and sham with which to bewitch the Pro-sim Council of Lawbreakers. Emeka Beke said it all in the video below.

“I am only disappointed that vibrant young men, even old men would be easily bought by a few dollars to come off cheap to insult the Judiciary like their principal Sim does.

He explained:””You accuse the Judiciary of favouring Wike but didn’t accuse the Judiciary when the State High Court Entertained a matter of defection which was beyond their jurisdiction.

“Yet, no Wikematic came on National TV to call it a fraudulent Judgement, even though we know Sim paid heavily for that Judgement.

“You are also aware of the serial State High Court move to disrupt Federal High Court Orders, rulings and Judgements courtesy of a fat pay cheque.

“Let the pro-simites repent from hypocrisy and prepare for the brutal legal onslaught awaiting them.

“The Law is Supreme in any case and can never be blackmailed by subtle media piracy.

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has filed a lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged threat to arrest, detain, and prosecute him after his tenure ends.

The suit, filed by Sanwo-Olu’s lawyer, Darlington Ozurumba, was brought before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

During the hearing on Tuesday, Ozurumba informed the court that he had withdrawn the initial originating summons and replaced it with a new one.

He added that the anti-graft agency had been duly served with the updated court documents.

However, EFCC’s counsel, Hadiza Afegbua, stated that she had not yet seen the documents.

Justice Abdulmalik also noted that the proof of service was missing from the court file and adjourned the case to November 11 for further mention.

The originating summons, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/773/2024 and filed on June 6, contains seven questions and 11 reliefs sought by the governor.

Sanwo-Olu is requesting a declaration that, under Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution, “the plaintiff, as a citizen of Nigeria, is entitled to right to private and family life as a minimum guarantee encapsulated under the Constitution of the Republic of Nigeria, 1999 before, during and after occupation of public office created by the Constitution.”

He also seeks a declaration that, under Sections 43 and 44(1) of the 1999 Constitution, he is entitled to acquire, own, operate, and manage both movable and immovable property, including bank accounts, “as a minimum guarantee encapsulated under the constitution either before, during, and after leaving public office of governor of a state.”

Sanwo-Olu further argues that based on a reading of Sections 35(1) & (4) and 41(1) of the Constitution, any threat of investigation, arrest, or detention by the EFCC during his tenure is unlawful.

He contends that such actions would be unconstitutional and a violation of his fundamental rights to personal liberty and freedom of movement, as guaranteed by Sections 35(1) & (4) and 41(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

Additionally, the governor is asking the court to declare that the alleged harassment, threats of arrest, and detention instigated by political adversaries through the EFCC, based on what he described as false and politically motivated allegations of corruption, constitute an abuse of executive power and public office.

Sanwo-Olu further urged the court to declare the EFCC’s actions as an unwarranted interference with his fundamental rights to personal liberty, freedom of movement, fair hearing, and equal protection under the law, as guaranteed by the Constitution and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, CAP A9 LFN 2004.

The governor sought an order restraining the EFCC from harassing, intimidating, arresting, detaining, interrogating, or prosecuting him in connection with his tenure as Lagos State governor.

He also requested the court to issue an order prohibiting the commission from seizing his properties, international passport, or travel documents, or from freezing the bank accounts of either himself or his family members, in any way that would further violate his fundamental rights under the Constitution.

Additionally, Sanwo-Olu prayed for an order preventing the EFCC from inviting, arresting, or detaining him over matters relating to his tenure as governor. He emphasized the need for the court to protect his fundamental rights to personal liberty, fair hearing, private and family life, freedom of movement, and the acquisition of movable and immovable property, as enshrined in Nigerian law.
