 Setting the Records Straight on  Citizen Asar Michael Sesugh's  Death The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,  EFCC,  considered it imperative to clear the air on some recent incidents at its Makurdi Zonal Directorate,  Benue State.   Operatives of the Directorate arrested 26 suspected cyber fraudsters on April 28,  2026.  They were profiled and kept in custody for further investigations after obtaining a Remand Order at a Magistrate Court.  Shortly after their arrest,  specifically on May 4,  2026,  three of the suspects sought permission to use the lavatory at the Directorate's  Holding Facility and were permitted.   They cashed in on the opportunity,  broke the toilet's roof and escaped from detention.  Several efforts were made to re- arrest them to no avail.

 PRESS STATEMENT


Executive Order 9: Constitutional Fidelity, Not Executive Overreach


Date: 23 February 2026 | 


For Immediate Release


Commentaries suggesting that Executive Order 9 (EO9) amounts to the President “making law” misstate both the Constitution and the fiscal question at issue. EO9 does not create law; it enforces constitutional custody of Federation revenues.

Section 80(1) of the Constitution (1999, as amended) is mandatory. All revenues or other monies raised or received by the Federation shall be paid into and form one Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation. Public revenue cannot lawfully be retained, applied, or warehoused outside constitutional funds.

Section 162 complements this rule by requiring revenues accruing to the Federation to be paid into the Federation Account for distribution in accordance with constitutional allocation principles. The order of legality is clear: revenue must first enter constitutionally recognised accounts before it can be appropriated, shared, or spent.

EO9 operationalises these provisions in the oil and gas sector by directing direct remittance of petroleum revenues - including royalties, taxes, profit oil and gas, penalties, and related receipts - into constitutionally recognised accounts, and by tightening reconciliation and transparency across collection, custody, and reporting.

EO9 does not intrude into legislative competence. Section 60(1) preserves the procedural autonomy of the National Assembly; EO9 does not regulate legislative procedure, amend the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), or repeal any statute. It is an executive instrument issued under Section 5 to ensure faithful execution of the Constitution and applicable laws.

If any party disputes the constitutional validity of EO9, the judiciary remains the proper forum for determination. Pending any judicial pronouncement, the Executive is duty-bound to protect Federation revenues, uphold constitutional supremacy, and strengthen fiscal integrity for FAAC distributions, budget credibility, and macroeconomic stability.

 


Signed:

Tanimu Yakubu

Director-General, Budget Office of the Federation

Secretary, Implementation Committee on Executive Order 9
