JUST IN: Osun State Sues Federal Government Over Withheld LG Funds!
Osun State has dragged the Federal Government and the Attorney General of the Federation to the Supreme Court for allegedly withholding local government allocations for February, March, and April 2025.
The state is demanding:
A declaration that the FG has no right to withhold funds meant for democratically elected LGs.
An injunction to stop future withholdings.
Osun claims the withheld funds are crippling essential services like education, healthcare, and local development.
Meanwhile, there’s a brewing political storm: the APC is questioning the legitimacy of the February LG elections, while the PDP insists the councils are validly elected.
The Supreme Court is now set to decide a major case on local government autonomy and constitutional rights.
What’s your take? Is this about law, politics, or power?
