Former Vice President of Nigeria and 2023 Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has applauded President Bola Tinubu for his role in securing local government autonomy.
This comes after Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling in a case initiated by the Tinubu administration.
Taking to his X handle, Alhaji Abubakar expressed his approval of the Supreme Court’s decision, stating that it is a victory for the people of Nigeria.
Atiku highlights the importance of local governments in Nigeria’s development and calls for fiscal autonomy to include revenue from local sources.
He criticizes states for hindering local councils from generating revenue and praises the Supreme Court’s verdict as a milestone for local governance in the country.
