A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Olisa Agbakoba, on Saturday, slammed Nigerian governors, insisting they have paralysed the judiciary.
Agbakoba said the State governors do not respect the Nigerian constitution and have not shown that they are responsible for it.
He noted that governors seem to have retreated and do no more ‘than go to Abuja and collect.’
According to him, despite court judgement, the governors are yet to obey court orders in respect of financial autonomy, adding that they are looking for more power.
He said this during The Platform, a programme organised and hosted by the Senior Pastor of Covenant Nation, Poju Oyemade.
According to Agbakoba, “The state governors have paralysed the judiciary and they are looking for more power. They have not shown that they are constitutionally responsible because they are not obeying the constitution.
“The governors seem to have retreated and do no more than go to Abuja and collect. We want to see more action on the part of our governors.
“I am happy that Kayode Fayemi, my good friend, will be on because he is the Chairman of the Governors Forum, yet they are not obeying the constitution.”
Meanwhile, Agbakoba had last month written to Nigerian governors on the judiciary workers’ strike.
