PDP cautions FG on LG autonomy, warns against creating “another bureaucracy

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed concerns over the Supreme Court judgment granting autonomy to local governments, warning that the Federal Government’s attempt to create another bureaucracy could lead to trouble.

“We are reviewing the judgment and we believe that the matter is not yet settled,” said PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, at a world press conference in Abuja on Sunday.

“We emphasize the importance of addressing issues of this magnitude through dialogue rather than through the courts”, the PDP spokesman said.
