JUSUN President Comrade Marwan Mustapha Adamu who reacted to the prompt intervention of Adoke, instructing the Acting Chief Judge of Adamawa State to obey the judgment that installed a new governor for the state, accused him on being silent on a court order from same court granting financial autonomy for the judiciary.
Adamu said it is unfortunate that since January 13, 2014 when the Federal High Court, Abuja delivered a judgment in favour of JUSUN, the minister has failed to give an order instructing the Accountant General of the Federation to comply.
“We appreciate the directive by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice to the CJ of Adamawa State, instructing him to comply with the judgment of Federal High Court Abuja.
“We also want to say that since the Minister of Justice has just woken up to his constitutional responsibility on the Adamawa governorship crisis, he should also replicate same on the judgment that was delivered by the same judge on JUSUN’s case against the governors on financial autonomy of the judiciary as the chief law officer by giving the Accountant General of the Federation directive to comply with the court judgement.
“We are hoping that he instructs him to that effect as soon as possible, because since January 13 till date the Accountant General of the Federation is yet to comply with that judgement especially as regards to the provision of Section 162 Sub 9 of the 1999 Constitution as amended.”
