Says status quo on LG administration

The Assembly late Tuesday at a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye, orders status quo on LG administration

On the issue of LG administration, Rt. Hon. Owoeye informed the plenary of a notice of appeal against the decision of a Federal High Court judgment served on the 7th Assembly.

The House thereby resolves that the issue of Local Government administration should be left to the court of law, ordering a status quo on all Local Government administration pending the exhaustion on all legal means.

Owoeye while thanking his colleagues for their service and steadfastness to the State said

“When Aregbesola took over the mantle of leadership in 2010, the PDP controlled local government was still in place and the status quo remained. Nobody dissolved the local government until all legal processes were completed.” The Speaker emphasized.
