My people, na serious matter dey wey we go gree talk today. President Bola Tinubu don open mouth yarn for governors, say if dem no gree release local government money as Supreme Court don rule, e go drop Executive Order wey go allow am pay dem directly.
Na the recent National Executive Committee meeting for Abuja, Tinubu take make dis warning wey get as e be. As e dey talk, e tell the governors say Supreme Court don clear am with finger: dem go gree give local councils their money make dem manage am. If una dey wait make am use knife cut cabbage before una go comply, no wahala. “I get the knife, I get the yam,” na so e talk.
As e dey para for the meeting, Tinubu carry him mind talk say, “I dey respect una, but if una no go follow for this matter, I go fit take action. If una no comply, you go see wetin go happen.” E dey refer to that landmark judgment wey Supreme Court carry come for July 11, 2024, wey clear say no be under anybody mata be local government money.
According to the court, e no go well if state governors dey collect funds meant for local governments. Na im cause di constitution talk say dem suppose dey pay local councils directly from di Federation Account. But na only dem sabi, where dem dey keep di money? na through those joint accounts wey dem don dey use scatter this one before now.
Tinubu don talk am, say ‘we gree comply, or else we go bring federal intervention to make things correct.’ Na wetin e dey talk be say di Supreme Court judgement na final bus stop and we gree follow am. Every kan governor go dey hear am, make dem no think say dem dey above di law.
Make we gree say this one na serious matter. Di whole country dey watch, and any governor wey wan do come wey go use di law anyhow, no be small wahala go follow dem. Na di same Nigerians go suffer am for ground. Na so di tin dey be!
