Former Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council , Dr Doyin Okupe, has faulted Federal Government’s on its court case against states over local government autonomy.
According to him, in a true federal system, there are only two component units- the federal and the states. “Let the nation’s money be shared between the Federal government and the states. The Federal government asking for local government autonomy in a federal system is an aberration.“Then, the state government can decide to have as many local governments as it desires for grassroots development and fund it as they like,” Okupe said.
