After the Supreme Court on Thursday which declared that it's unconstitutional for state governors to hold funds allocated for local government administrations, the pan-Yoruba socio-political association, Afenifere, has condemned the judgment that granted total financial autonomy to the local governments in Nigeria.
Recall that the court further declared that a state government has no power to appoint a caretaker committee and a local government council is only recognisable with a democratically elected government.
Afenifere, in a statement on Saturday, by its leader and the National Public Secretary, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, and Prince Justice Faloye, described the apex court judgement as a mere judicial conspiracy.
The statement was titled ‘Tinubu and the grand conspiracy against democracy and true federalism in Nigeria.’
The group also alleged that the ongoing administration of Tinubu had been practising a unitary system in some of its policies since its inception. It maintained that the only way forward for the country was to practice true federalism.
