The Peoples Democratic Party in Edo State has condemned the suspension of 18 local government chairmen and their deputies by the state House of Assembly. The party described the suspension as unconstitutional and illegal, citing the recent ruling of the Chief Judge of Edo State and the Supreme Court's decision affirming local governments' autonomy.
“The illegal suspension is a blatant disregard of the recent ruling of the Chief Judge of Edo State, Justice Daniel Okungbowa, and the Supreme Court’s decision, in a suit filed by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, which affirmed the autonomy and independence of local governments as guaranteed under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
