The Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has renewed his call on the Federal Government to release statutory allocations due to local governments in the state.
Adeleke urged the authorities in Abuja to heed the advice of the Nigerian Bar Association and other stakeholders who have declared the continued seizure of the funds unconstitutional.
Reacting to interventions by the NBA, the Council of Obas in Osun, and other civic groups, Adeleke praised their courage in standing up for truth and the rule of law.
The governor’s call in contained in a statement made available to newsmen.
He commended the NBA leadership for setting up a committee to investigate the Osun local government question and for demonstrating the rare courage to release the report which declared that there is no legal basis for the continuous withholding of Osun local government allocations.
Governor Adeleke welcomed the NBA’s clarification that his administration was not responsible for the removal of the All Progressives Congress council chairmen in 2022, noting that it was a court of law that ordered their sack.
