 Dolly Parton returns to public eye to celebrate opening day at Dollywood     Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months to celebrate the opening day of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Friday. The country music icon reflected on the past year, a year after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, saying she is “doing good” and has been working to rebuild herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically after grieving and dealing with health issues that kept her from touring. Joined on stage by Dollywood president Eugene Naughton, Parton brought her trademark humor to the crowd, joking about rumors of a new husband while reaffirming her devotion to Dean. She also shared updates on her ongoing projects, including a new Broadway musical and her Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum in Nashville.

 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.

Tanimu Yakubu

Director-General, Budget Office of the Federation

Secretary, Implementation Committee on Executive Order 9
