APC Applauds Supreme Court’s LG Financial Autonomy Decision

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed strong support for the recent Supreme Court decision affirming the direct allocation of monthly funds to local government councils from the federation account.
Led by Justice Emmanuel Agim, the court’s seven-man panel upheld the federal government’s stance that state governors do not possess the legal authority to dissolve democratically-elected local government councils at will and replace them with caretaker committees, as commonly practiced.
This ruling deemed the previous practice of channelling local government allocations through state governments as a form of misconduct.
Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, emphasized that this landmark judgment marks a significant step towards restructuring Nigeria since the return to civilian democratic rule in 1999.
It underscores the constitutional recognition of local government councils as the third tier of government, effectively dismantling the proxy system where state governments managed federal allocations meant for local councils.
The APC also credited President Bola Tinubu for his foresight and dedication to strengthening democracy by transforming local government councils into potential hubs for development and more efficient service delivery at the grassroots level.
Morka highlighted the historical importance of the Supreme Court’s decision in solidifying democratic federalism in Nigeria, anticipating that it will pave the way for further reforms aimed at enhancing the transparency and accountability of local government administration nationwide.

Kenneth Okonkwo Says Peter Obi Betrayed Him by Supporting Abure Group

Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.
Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.
“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”

“I’ll Keep Giving Tinubu Haters High Blood Pressure” – Wike Says

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.
According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”
He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.
