**Are our local governments doomed to remain puppets of state governors?** On March 17, 2025, Otunba Abayomi Odunowo, National Chairman of the Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu Support Group (AATSG), made a powerful statement addressing alarming attempts by certain governors to obstruct the Supreme Court’s ruling on direct local government allocations. This isn’t just a legal matter; it’s about our democratic integrity and the future of local governance.
Odunowo emphasizes that governors rerouting funds intended for local governments is a direct affront to justice. We must rally together as citizens to ensure that those funds empower our communities. This is our chance to reclaim autonomy and foster transparency.
He calls on all pro-democracy groups and civil society organizations to unite for this critical cause. How can we ensure grassroots development if we allow local funds to be mismanaged under the guise of “joint accounts”? It’s time for us to demand accountability!
Share your thoughts on how we can protect local government autonomy and foster a truly democratic Nigeria. Let’s start a conversation!
