“I sponsored one of the bills of the LG autonomy that was rejected. As long as I remain in the National Assembly, I will continue to return that bill.
“Local government is the bedrock of national development. We’ve not got it right that is why we are where we are. In the face of natural resources, bad management of our resources is the reason we are where we are.
“If not, we will continue to get things wrong. If you impose from the top to bottom, there will be a crisis. “When it was presented in the state, NULGE even came and protested at the National Assembly but in the end, the LG autonomy did not pass in the state. “The local government is locked. People can’t understand what democracy is all about,” Yusuf said.
“They kept quiet even when the National Assembly members were fighting for the freedom of the local governments,” Alabi said, adding that they will push the bill again.
