Obono-Obla wants to also know, “whether the Cross River State Bonds Development Law (supra) is constitutional in view of the fact that it did not pass through the fundamental requirements that a Bill should have been subjected to”.
Additionally, the human rights activist seeks to make four claims against the defendants in the matter; a Declaration that the Cross River State Bonds Development Law, Volume 4 of 2014 is inconsistent to the provisions of Section 120 subsections 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and therefore illegal, wrongful, unconstitutional , null and void, an Order striking out the Cross River State Bonds Development Law, Volume 4 of 2014 for being at variance with provisions of Section 120 subsections 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), an order of perpetual injunction restraining the 1st Defendant, their servants, agents and or privies from giving any legal effect whatsoever and or acting on the Cross River State Bonds Development Law (supra) and a final order of perpetual injunction restraining the 1st Defendant, their servants, agents and or privies from obtaining money or loan from any Bank or Financial Institution under the guise of the implementation or execution of the Cross River State Bonds Development Law (supra).
Hearing will be fixed in the days ahead.
