GOVERNOR Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra state has commended the Supreme Court on the judgement on Local Government Autonomy, describing the apex court judgement as great and final.
The governor also explained why he has not been able to conduct local government elections in Anambra state despite his campaign promise, adding that series of litigations in court was responsible for the that.
“And once the Supreme Court has spoken it has spoken. And I understand I mean, tonight, I think the Governors Forum is meeting to review this. We’re yet to even… I mean, I haven’t seen the document myself. I’ve been extremely, very busy all through the day but I’ve seen snippets of it. According to him, “Well … when I was elected in office, that was one of the things I promised our people because in Anambra, we haven’t had, to be honest with you, I think the first local government election we had was in 1998 or something thereabout and then the next one was in 2014 or 2013.
“It is a promise I made and when I make a promise, I am serious about keeping. And even the way that that has been run so far, at least under my administration, the resources of the local government, we’ve made sure that the resources get down to the local governments to address their staff, I mean paying teachers, paying the pensioners, and paying primary health workers and, and so on and so forth.
