Osun Drags FG To Supreme Court Over Withheld Council Funds The Osun State Government has sued the Federal Government at the Supreme Court over the alleged unconstitutional seizure of local government allocations since March 2025. In the suit filed by Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and Musibau Adetunbi (SAN), Osun is asking the court to compel President Bola Tinubu’s administration to release the withheld funds meant for its 30 local councils, citing subsisting judgments that upheld the February 22, 2025, council elections. The state argued that the Attorney-General of the Federation lacks powers to block allocations or disregard court rulings. It is also seeking a perpetual injunction to stop future seizures of council funds. Osun insists that the Federal Government’s actions undermine Section 7 of the Constitution, which guarantees democratically elected local councils, and warned of a threat to grassroots governance. #OsunState #SupremeCourt #LocalGovernment
