The chairmen announced their decision through a formal statement issued after their meeting in Ibadan over the weekend. The statement did not reveal the name of the new association or whether it will replace their current affiliation with the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON).
The communiqué, signed by Ibrahim Akintayo, the Public Relations Officer for the Oyo LG chairmen, stated: “At our general meeting on Saturday, 3rd August 2024, in Ibadan, it was agreed to establish an umbrella association to protect our people’s interests. This organization will be registered under Nigerian law and will include the chairmen of the local government councils as institutional members. The association will uphold the democratic principles of local government as defined in the 1999 Constitution and aim to deliver meaningful development at the local level.”
This move follows a recent Supreme Court ruling on local government autonomy, which came after extensive deliberation. The court ruled that local government funds should be distributed directly to the councils from the Federation Allocation Account Committee, rather than being managed by state governments.
Governor Makinde has expressed concern over the ruling and has set up committees to address the implications and plan the next steps.
