Supreme Court Voids Buhari’s Executive Order 10, Dismisses State Govs’ N66bn Suit Against FG

The Supreme Court has declared as unlawful and unconstitutional the Executive Order 10, EO10, issued by President Muhammadu Buhari on the funding of State Judiciary and Legislature.

In a split decision on Friday, the majority of the court’s seven-member panel agreed that the Executive Order was inconsistent with the 1999 Constitution and therefore null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
