Court Declares Pat Utomi's 'Shadow Government' Illegal in Landmark Ruling
The Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled the establishment of a 'Shadow Government' by Professor Pat Utomi as illegal and unconstitutional. The court's decision came following a suit filed by the Department of State Services (DSS) seeking clarity on the legality of creating a parallel structure outside the constitutional framework.
Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgment, prohibiting Utomi and his associates from proceeding with the proposed shadow government, describing it as an alien concept in Nigeria's presidential system. This ruling highlights the importance of adhering to the constitutional provisions and the limitations on parallel governance structures in the country.
