There is panic in at least 21 states of the federation following the Supreme Court judgement which stopped allocation to non-democratically elected local government chairmen.

DAILY POST reported that the judgement delivered by the apex court on Thursday gave victory to the third tier of government, bringing to an end years of struggle for local government autonomy. In the landmark judgment, the Supreme Court endorsed full autonomy for the 774 local governments in the country to put to an end the gross abuse of their affairs by some of the state governors.

“We will be working with anti-corruption agencies to ensure growth and development. “So, we are happy and it is a fulfilment of long-awaited dreams and the struggle in the last 15 years has come to a victorious end,” he said.
