For press conference wey dem hold for APC secretariat wey dey Osogbo, the ALGON Chairman, Mr. Abiodun Idowu, don make am clear say since dem come into power for February 2025, nothing fit make dem divert any fund. Dem say na wahala wey state government create dey cause local government workers to dey gree stay house from February 2025 till January 2026. E be like say dem no wan make things dey run smoothly.

Idowu don talk say as e be, the local councils no get choice than to open operashun bank accounts for their money matter make dem no break down completely. Dis one no be joke o! E take dem over seven months, but dem follow all the financial laws wey dey ground, and na UBA dey help dem for dis matter. E be like say dem dey fight for the financial independence of local governments wey the constitution don guarantee.

Moreover, the man no gree rest, he no wan lie down for ground as he dey accuse the state government of wahala and court cases wey don enter Supreme Court just to make local councils dey suffer after the Supreme Court don talk say local governments fit manage dem own money. He even talk say dem don start to pay all those money wey dey cause backlog. Traditional rulers don start to receive their statutory allocations, and salaries for local government workers dey process too. Na wah!

He still emphasize say any penny wey dem dey spend na from the legislative arms of the councils; na so law dey work. Dis is важно — our leaders dey try maintain order for the grassroots level.
