Diri asks FG to obey court on $951m payment - Punch Newspapers

THE Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, has begged the Federal Government to implement Monday’s Abuja Federal High Court judgment ordering the payment of $951m as shortfall in oil derivation revenue to the state.This was contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Daniel Alabrah.

He said the money was owed the state based on the Constitution and the 13 per cent derivation principle. Diri, who said his administration was open to dialogue with the Federal Government to amicably resolve the matter, noted that constant litigations would not engender cordial relationship between states and the centre.

Hmm

Who would trust this man with nearly a billion dollars?

LoL ... pay ko, receive ni. What about accounting for what you have collected before now... Thief. Go collect am for Abuja.

Bayelsa being PDP state, Buhari government will drag legs in paying that $951.
