Why Governors are against local government autonomy – APC chieftain, Ajanaku
Ajanaku, who addressed journalists in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital on Monday insisted that the main reason was corruption.
“The main reason they are stubborn on the issue is corruption and no human feelings, no consideration for the masses”, he said. “Oyo State is our territory and Ibadan is our home, we can’t afford to fold arms and allow some individuals to destroy our land which everyone in Nigeria testified to as the most peaceful and accommodating state in Nigeria. All the parties involved should wait for the ruling of the competent court and obey every order granted by the Judges. Whoever disobey court order will be held responsible and pay for his foolishness in a painful way irrespective of his political affiliation or status.
“Let me also add this, that the system we adopted in the administration of local government councils in Nigeria responsible for underdevelopment and retarded growth in the grassroots and by extension affected the macroeconomics and GDP in Nigeria. This is not peculiar to Oyo State alone, what kind of development are we expecting in a situation where governors had already pocketed the activities and management of local government councils.
