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.
Nigerian Politician and former candidate of presidency, Peter Obi calls out Nigerians for support to better the country.
The politician recently opened a Tik tok account and then shares a tweet on his official X page. He shares that the public should support him in order for him to achieve his goal.
“This is my official and only TikTok page. Kindly join me towards building a new Nigeria that is possible.”
The Tik tok app is a social media platform filled with billions of users and targets the next generation, youths.
