APC chieftain wants FG to give reinstated chairmen LG allocations
Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress APC, has requested that the Federal Government release monthly allocations to the APC-elected local government chairmen in Osun State who were reinstated by the court.
This request was made by Oyintiloye in a statement that was released on Tuesday, following his address to the media in Osogbo.
During the course of his plea, he maintained that the state government would, at the right time, be held accountable for the funds that were spent on the local government election that was just recently held.
He pointed out that this expenditure is a waste of the money that was contributed by taxpayers.
Furthermore, he conveyed his appreciation to the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for his professional approach to the management of security concerns in the state.
The statement read, “I want to appeal to the Federal Government to start releasing the monthly allocation to the APC-reinstated council chairmen in the state from this month.
“The chairmen were unable to work since 2022 when they were sacked, but now that the Court of Appeal has reinstated them, the allocation should be released to them.
“This is the time for people at the grassroots to feel the impact of government, which has been neglected since 2022.
“I also want to commend the Inspector-General of Police for ensuring peace in the state and for the professional manner in which he has addressed security challenge.”
