Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Action Democratic Congress, ADC, says the Supreme Court judgment granting financial autonomy to local government councils is a monumental victory for the nation\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

The National Chairman of the party, Ralph Nwosu, made this statement on Friday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Supreme Court ruling affirming Local Government Financial Autonomy is an unprecedented political victory for the judiciary and a clear manifestation of how each arm of government can drive development by taking principled and patriotic positions for the interest of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great outcome for our democracy and catalyst for national development.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy party, the ADC has continued to advocate for the active participation of the local government Area councils in running our affairs as the council is the authentic grassroot leadership any nation needs to make organic progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cTotal Local government autonomy, financial and otherwise, are critical for grassroots development,\u201d Nwosu said.<\/p>\n

He commended President Bola Tinubu for the bold step not minding his past and the antics of state governors and some of the legislators.<\/p>\n

He also lauded the Supreme Court judges, who affirmed that all the local government councils across the country receive their allocations directly from the Accountant-General of the Federation.<\/p>\n
