LG Autonomy: Ex-Presidential Candidates View Apex Court Verdict Differently

While Adebayo was hopeful about the import of the judgement, Sowore and Sani were not optimistic about the attainment of the desired intention.

Reacting to the verdict, Adebayo, the 2023 presidential candidate Social Democratic Party (SDP), said “I fully endorse today’s Supreme Court judgement in FGN vs 36 States.

“States are mere post offices for mailing LG funds, and having been caught pilfering LG funds, they can be bypassed via direct payment. Governors have to be Governors of their States not Chairmen-General of LGAs,” Adebayo posted on his X handle.
