In a statement via his official X account, Sowore criticized the judiciary’s ruling, stating, “As long as Nigerian state governors control the electoral machinery, rig local government elections, and appoint their loyalists, the Supreme Court’s decision will lack practical effect!”
Meanwhile, Doyin Okupe, former Special Adviser to ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo, also voiced dissent, labeling the Supreme Court’s ruling on local government autonomy as incorrect. He argued that local governments are not constitutionally independent units but are under state jurisdiction. Okupe cautioned against what he sees as potential political confusion arising from the ruling, suggesting the need for a new constitution to address Nigeria’s federal structure and governance challenges.
Both Sowore and Okupe’s remarks underscore ongoing debates and concerns regarding the implications and practicality of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision on local government autonomy.
