Court declares Pat Utomi’s shadow government/cabinet unlawful

A Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order restraining Professor Pat Utomi and his associates from proceeding with their plan to establish a shadow government/cabinet in the country

Justice James Omotosho issued the order on Monday in a judgment on a suit by the Department of State Services (DSS).

Justice Omotosho declared the concept of shadow government/cabinet as unconstitutional and an alien concept to the nation’s presidential system of government.

The judge held that Utomi and his associates cannot hide under the right of association and to criticise the government to engage in unlawful activities.

He commended the plaintiff for filing the suit and held among others, that it was within the right of the DSS to take steps to prevent acts capable today threatening the nation’s internal security.
