‘No Election, No Allocations’- Reps On LGAs
  • July 10, 2024
  • Unity Times
House-of-Reps (1)

The House of Representatives has urged the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation, and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to withhold allocations from the federation account to local government areas in the country that are run without elected officials but caretaker committees.

This followed the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Hon. Ademorin Kuye (APC, Lagos) and Jonathan Gaza Gbewfi (SDP, Nasarawa) at plenary on Tuesday.

Moving the motion, Kuye expressed concern that the dissolution of democratically elected council officials directly contravened section 7 of the Nigerian Constitution and the Supreme Court pronouncement on such matters.

“Worried by the increasing number of states acting with impunity and constitutional disregard as about 21 states governors are currently running councils with caretaker committees.

“Dismayed that this impunity and constitution disregard is a deliberate effort to upstage democracy, shrink the development potential of local councils, enshrine lack of accountability and limit transparency in local governments and the state as a whole,” he added.
