Newsbrief: Withholding of Osun LG Funds ‘Highly Political’ — Ozekhome
Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Mike Ozekhome has described the federal government’s withholding of Osun State local government funds as “highly political,” urging Attorney-General Lateef Fagbemi to provide proper legal guidance to President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking on Channels Television, Ozekhome criticized the AGF for recommending funds be released to sacked APC officials, stressing that Osun’s duly elected councillors and chairmen should receive their allocations without delay. He cited past Supreme Court rulings affirming that the federal government cannot withhold legitimate local government funds.
Osun State maintains there is no legal or political basis for the withholding, referencing the February 22 local elections and a June 13 Court of Appeal ruling upholding PDP officials.
