In Nigeria, there’s a team of lawmakers, kind of like a group of people in charge of making rules. They’re worried about something. They think that another group, who like the big boss of the Federal Capital Territory (like the mayor of a big city), might try to stop money that usually goes to small towns in Rivers State, which is a place in Nigeria. This money is supposed to help the towns do things like fix roads and pay workers.
A man named Ikenga Ugochinyere talks for this team. He says if this money gets stopped, it might cause big troubles, like fighting over rules and who is in charge. He says there’s a plan set up by people who don’t like the rules and are trying to stop these small towns from getting their money using the courts.
The trouble might be because some people are unhappy about who won in recent elections to pick leaders for these small towns. These elections were held because the very important court, the Supreme Court, said they should happen.
Ugochinyere says this group, who are fans of the big boss, didn’t want the elections to take place. They wanted to mess things up so that it would go their way politically. He also found out that these fans think they can find judges who will quickly agree with them and stop the money.
Ugochinyere said that if the plan keeps going, his team will make sure everyone in Nigeria knows about it. They want to make sure the little towns get their money and can keep working properly.
He says the people trying to stop the elections and take the money want to create problems with the rules, which isn’t right and makes everyone upset.
He’s asking the big boss of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu, to step in and make sure that these plans don’t spoil the rules and peace in the country.
Finally, he hopes judges don’t get tricked into quickly agreeing with the group trying to stop the money. He wants them to think about the rules and not help in creating problems.
