Now that Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has decisively defeated the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Munirudeen Oyebamiji, it is hoped that the federal government would release the withheld statutory allocations of the 30 local governments in the state.


According to recent data from the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC), the allocations have grown to the tune of over N250billion.

Following the February 2025 local government elections in the state, which were challenged by the ruling APC, the federal government withheld the statutory allocations meant for the 30 councils.

But the state government went to court to challenge the decision.

In the lead judgment delivered by Justice Mohammed Idris, the Supreme Court declared that the seizure of the allocations amounted to “grave breach of the 1999 Constitution.”

Justice Idris further held that “the hand of the federal government was soiled” by its decision to withhold the allocations and directed that the funds be “directly channelled to local government accounts.”

Though the court faulted the state government for initiating the suit on behalf of the affected local governments and consequently dismissed the suit, it also held that the federal government was wrong to have withheld the local government funds, adding that the action was in breach of the 1999 Constitution.

Despite this, the APC-led federal government and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), have ignored the court’s directive, and still holding on to the dismissal of the case.

Many thought that the action was taken in order to ground local government administration in the state and invariably weaken the government of Governor Adeleke.

Since the governor has again triumphed in the jrecently-concluded election, there is no point trying to frustrate the people of the state any longer.

The funds are essential to pay the salaries of primary school teachers, nurses and other health workers across the state’s 332 primary healthcare centres, local government employees, members of traditional councils, retirees, and also improve infrastructure in the state

Deal with the message, not the messenger.

Is what Kemi saying true or false? That is the question.

Thank you all.

To run from Atiku Abubakar's trouble.

Your igbo mod won't see this to remove but if I write exactly this thing and only change a name, my comment would be removed even before I post it.

I'm not even sure this one will stay

Alliswell248:

But you cant compare his achievement to that toilet washer you want us to vote for.
OLodo that was dashed philosophy, he even managed to get third class

If gaslighting ever had an annual award, you will win all categories easily with this post.

Let's disect your response to the OP one by one


For context, the OP is reacting to a recent conference organized by all ethnic umbrellas to discus on regional integration based on ethnolinguistic shared heritage held in Abuja recently.

The Ohaneze representatives staged a walk out because Ikwere people alongside other Rivers people alongside Anioma nation came to the conference under the PANDEF umbrella.

The Ohaneze representatives described the entire conference as a charade over the alignment of Ikwere, Anioma and other nationalities from Rivers aligning with PANDEF and thus expressing a desire to be captured under a future Niger Delta region.



So it seems but it never did because you Ibos are hell-bent on restarting your Biafra with the annexation of same SS into it.



No they haven't moved on and the war was fought primarily to annex the SS and SS people suffered the most from that conflict both from you the colonizers who went about genociding and terrorising them into submission and overzealous northern soldiers who were naive to know the distinction between the Ibo and SS minority people.



This statement applies more to you guys who have sown a victimhood toga since the very begining of the war to mask your evil deeds and greed .



If it ended and Biafra is dead and Yiu Ibos have moved on, why is there a clamour for Biafra allover again by your people with the very core motive towards annexing the SS all over again?

Stop gaslighting!

I am passing a message through you to your people that once bitten twice shy. No one will deliberately walk into slavery after been saved. That war of ego Ojukwu got you people into is your greatest undoing.

yarimo:
he said he want Igbo to concentrate in their 5 state. That's the purpose of this thread. Read and understand before rushing to quote

Igbos believe that the Niger Delta Minorities suffer from amnesia otherwise the thought of Ikwerres which land was partitioned and annexed by the Igbos like Europeans partitioned Africa would never cross their mind to have them exist in the same region or country.
Many Niger Delta people today celebrate the Civil War. The Civil War was the greatest undoing of the Igbos. To this end a stadium in Port Harcourt was previously called Liberation Stadium in commemoration of the freedom they got from the Igbos. When it appeared Igbos didn't read meaning to the name of the stadium Wike renamed it Yakubu Gowon Stadium to drive the point home. And if this isn't land enough Rivers State will declare a day to celebrate Gowon. No sane person will deliberately walk into slavery. It is time Igbos concentrate their efforts to the demarcations of their five states. It doesn't matter as they claim recently that an Ikwerre man is the president of their socio-cultural organisation. Joseph was an Israelite but became a leader in Egypt when they needed one.
It won't work.

Daguccizgreat:
Atiku rest. It's the turn of the south so your ambition is not achievable now.

OAFMods:
As the foolish Peter Obi din fail una de look for who to blame instead of owning your failure of not paying doctors over a year.

Imagine a foolish governor open for over 22 month n could not resolve an issue with doctors I. His own state n such a lunatic think he should be allowed to preside over doctors from the entire federation.

Na wa o.

If Atiku is mistakenly elected by the time he exhaust the reserve under the guise of paying subsidy.

Nigerians should prepare for $1=$5000 naira. (Poverty promax)

Atiku is 80 yrs and he has nothing to lose.
