Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has declared his support for local government council areas full autonomy. He clarified the position of Kwara State in the ongoing legal proceedings on local government, arguing that the state does not violate any section of the law regarding autonomy.
According to him: 'It is my personal belief that each local government should manage its resources and be responsible for its obligations, including wages that are first line charges. 'I also believe that the state governor should not be held liable if any local government is unable to pay salaries since we do not touch a kobo of their money.
'As of today, local government allocations are sent to the JAAC as required by the law. Section 162 of the Constitution is very clear on this. 'As things stand today, no activity of the local government in Kwara State is at variance with these provisions of the law. Our case in the court is not about my personal belief. It is, we believe, in the defence of the constitution, which created JAAC for reasons that are well-grounded in our experiences as a people.
