Responding to the ruling, Ibori, who claimed that he and those close to him were being persecuted, vowed to challenge the order in the higher courts.

He also added that Judge Tomlinson appeared to have cast aside any pretence of impartiality, while making the order, which he described as both “wholly unrealistic and unrealisable”.

Reacting to the issue, Sagay a former Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, said Ibori has a right to appeal to higher courts in the UK.

He said: “Yes, he has an absolute right to appeal the judgment. The judgment was from a High Court so he can appeal to the higher courts, that is the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

“He has two options and both can be exploited. He can appeal the judgment in London and defend any attempt at extradition in Nigeria.

N8,000 Is A Lot To Many Poor Families In Nigerians, Nasarawa Gov. Defends Tinubu’s Discarded Proposal

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has faulted Nigerians who are against the proposed N8,000 monthly palliative for 12 million poor households each by the Nigerian Government.

The proposal was criticised by many Nigerians who described it as too little to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal.

But Governor Sule while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Friday night said that N8,000 is a lot of money for many poor families in Nigeria.

He said, “We were sharing only N5,000 and believe me there were so many people that were waiting for that N5,000 every month. Indeed, there were some communities that were able to do some kind of contributions and they were able to do a lot in their various communities.

“So, N8,000 may not be so much money to some people, but it is a lot to so many other people who are from very poor families that don’t see N8,000 every month.

“So, the only thing is that let us identify those families.”
