as insinuated in some quarters.
The governor, who spoke at a public lecture on ‘Taxing Powers in a Federal System’, held in Abuja at the weekend, said Rivers and the Federal Government are co-equal because they derive their lives from the Constitution. He said: “I have heard a lot of comments made that we are fighting the Federal Government. There is no desire or intention of the Rivers State government to fight the Federal Government. But you must remember that in a federal system, the states are not houseboys of the Federal Government.
“They both derive their life from the constitution because they have co-equality, and every level of government is entitled to have access to sufficient revenue so that it can carry out its own responsibility without subordinating its will to that of a superior authority.”
