President Tinubu Calls on Govs to Enforce Supreme Court Ruling on Local Governments

If governors disobey the Supreme Court’s ruling on local government autonomy, President Bola Tinubu threatens to step in.

Speaking at the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) 15th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Friday night in the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu issued the warning.

He emphasized that governors must abide by and respect the Supreme Court’s ruling on local government autonomy because it continues to be the highest legal authority in the country.

Give them their money directly, according to the Supreme Court’s ruling. I will cut it if you wait on my executive order because I have the yam and the knife.

“We will calculate the percentage before FAAC, and I will forward it to their accounts.” All I’m doing is showing my governors a great deal of respect and understanding.

President Tinubu stated, “If you don’t start implementing it FAAC after FAAC, you will see deduction from the source.”

Tinubu instructed the National Assembly to call the Inspector General of Police to investigate the implications of the State Police in order to establish controls and stop abuses.

“We intend to pursue State Police.” The Forest Rangers will be armed by us. We shall vanquish those bandits and terrorists. The President stated, “We have to.

“Allow it, don’t elbow, don’t shut the door against the people,” Tinubu said, urging the party’s leadership to ensure justice in the APC e-membership registration process.

“You now have authority; if you don’t exercise it, we will remove it.” We are skilled at it. “We’ll handle it on your behalf,” he declared.

Earlier, Vice-President Kashim Shettima said, “APC is fortunate that President Tinubu is not in opposition today,” acknowledging President Tinubu’s contribution to the opposition culture that helped the APC win power.

He stood when it was out of style, long before power calling. financed democracy when it was safe to remain silent and organized when it was risky to do so.

Tinubu is the type of warrior you hope will never face you in the ring.

Shettima declared, “His experience is not just history; it is the party’s armor forged in resistance, sharpened by survival, and perfected by victory.”

Additionally, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the APC, stated that the party has solid roots across all six geopolitical zones and is still cohesive, resilient, and forward-thinking.

With steadfast backing, he promised that the party will solidify its gains and keep offering Nigerians significant leadership.

He restated the party’s unwavering support for the audacious and extensive changes being carried out by President Tinubu’s administration.
