The Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) has threatened to go to court if the federal government further pay
any direct allocation to the state local government councils headed by
administrators.
The PDP in a statement issued on Tuesday by Prince
Bode Ogunmola noted that any further release of allocation to ‘illegal’ local
government administrators in the state would be challenged in court, describing
the kangaroo administrators as Governor Yahaya Bello’s conduit pipe to defraud the
people of the state.
The PDP observed that despite the billions of naira
accrued to the councils, percentage payment is still being paid, with no
visible development to show by the administrators.
The PDP in the statement said: “We advise the federal
government to release the allocation to only elected local government elected
officials henceforth, describing the continuous release of funds to the
councils as a recipe for a legal action that would cripple the administration
in the third tier of government.
The PDP stated that it is a constitutional matter not
to allow illegal administration order than elected councils to subsist as third
tier of administration, lamented that in almost four years the Bello’s
administration has continuously recycled the administrators, looting their
funds at the expense of payment of salaries and infrastructure development.
