A former Governor of Osun State, Chief Bisi Akande, has described as arrant nonsense the idea of independence for local government areas in the country.

Akande spoke in his Ila Orangun residence at a press conference held to mark his 81st birthday anniversary on Thursday.

He said apart from the central government, ‘‘the only tier of government recognised is a federating unit.’’ “When you talk of local government autonomy, you are talking about another tier of government. So, one must be abolished.”, Akande said the position of the Federal Government bordered on law.

Akande faults call for LG autonomyAnd you claim to be a federalist sir? Àwọn bàbà alajẹ bá ńu 🙄 The reason LG seems to be doing nothing as their allocations have been taken over by state govt. Does the constitution not provide for the autonomy of the LG? Lemme visit 1999 constitution (as amended) again.
