The office of the accountant-general of the Federation (OAGF) has pledged to release financial allocations to Rivers State following an appeal by the state government. This was disclosed by Bawa Mokwa, director of press and public relations at the OAGF on Saturday, November 23, 2024.This is coming barely 24 hours after Mokwa said the OAGF had withheld October payments to the oil-rich state in compliance with a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court judgement on October 30, 2024.Recall that Justice Joyce Abdulmalik ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to withhold further Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) payment to the Rivers State government following a lawsuit by the lawsuit by the Martin Amaewhule-led faction of the Rivers State Assembly. Fubara appeals judgement However, in the appeal filed by the Rivers government on Friday, Governor Siminalyi Fubara prayed to the appellate court to set aside the lower court’s judgement, which he said was issued in bad faith.The Governor also sought a stay of execution and return to the status quo, which was granted by the appeal court.Following the latest twist, Mokwa said the OAGF would abide by the decision of the appeal court which overrides the previous order. “We are going to obey court orders. Yesterday, after a report that the state would not be paid, the Rivers state government sent a notification of appeal to that effect.“So, logically, we are going to obey court orders. The notification depicts that there is a stay of execution, which means we will maintain the status quo. It means the state will be given allocation,” he said.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari was laid to rest on Tuesday, July 15, at his residence in Daura, Katsina State, drawing an emotional close to a chapter in Nigeria’s political history.

The late President’s body arrived in Nigeria from the United Kingdom earlier in the day and was received with full state honours at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport, Katsina.

President Bola Tinubu, who flew in from Abuja, arrived at 1:42 p.m. and was on hand to personally receive the remains of his predecessor.

A guard of honour was mounted for the Commander-in-Chief, shortly before the Nigerian Air Force plane transporting Buhari’s body touched down at 1:51 p.m.

According to family sources, the body was first taken to Buhari’s Daura residence, where his immediate family and close relatives offered a private farewell.

A few solemn moments were observed before the casket was moved to the community’s central prayer ground for the final rites.

“It was a dignified and peaceful farewell,” a family member told reporters. “We are grateful he returned home and was buried according to his wishes.”

Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s President from 2015 to 2023, died in a London hospital on Sunday, 13 July 2025, after a prolonged illness.

His passing triggered tributes from global leaders and Nigerians across political divides.

In a brief remark at the airport, President Tinubu described his predecessor as “a patriot who loved Nigeria till his last breath.”

Security was tight in and around Daura, as thousands gathered quietly to witness the late leader’s final journey.

Traditional rulers, senior government officials, and members of the armed forces were present to pay their respects.

The former military ruler and two-term civilian President is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
