The governor, who spoke through the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, Professor Zacheus Adangor at a public lecture on Taxing Powers in a Federal System in Abuja insisted that Rivers State and the Federal Government are co-equal as they derive their powers from the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
According to the Governor, Rivers State is not a cash cow to the Federal Government and would continue to pursue what is right and legitimate within the ambit of the constitution.
The Governor also expressed displeasure over comments making the rounds that the State is in a fight with the Federal Government.
