The African Action Congress, (AAC) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore, has opined that the Supreme Court judgment granting autonomy to local governments would not make any difference.
According to him, the judgement would remain ineffective as long as state governors control the electoral machinery of the local government.
He argued that if governors are allowed to continue rigging election they would end up placing their minions in power and the Supreme Court judgment would remain ineffective.
Speaking via his X account, he wrote, “As long as Nigerian state governors control the State Electoral machinery, ruthlessly rig Local Government elections and install their minions (minimes) in the LGAs, the Supreme Court ruling would remain ineffective!
“And at any rate, any time @officialABAT is seen around control of funds, run, please run!”
