Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has cautioned the judiciary against exacerbating tensions in Rivers State following a recent court ruling that halted local government allocations in the state.
Atiku, a prominent Nigerian political figure, warned that such judicial actions could “set Rivers on fire,” potentially heightening political and social unrest in the region.
His comments reflect concerns over the federal intervention in state governance matters and the potential implications for stability within Rivers, a state already marked by strong political dynamics.
Atiku urged the judiciary to consider the broader impact of its decisions, stressing that withholding local government allocations disrupts essential services, salaries, and community development projects.
He emphasized that this could escalate existing challenges and erode the public’s trust in government institutions.
His statement underscores calls from various political leaders to allow state governments greater autonomy, especially regarding the management and allocation of resources, which is vital to maintaining peace and stability at the grassroots level.
