The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, has declared that the Supreme Court 's judgment on local government autonomy can't be overturned. Speaking in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, on Tuesday, Fagbemi said the Supreme Court 's judgment is non-negotiable. Stressing that all parties must comply with the judgment, Fagbemi said there is no three-month grace period for the implementation of the apex court's judgment.
'The position is that, yes, the judgment was delivered, but we felt that there is a need to put some things in place before the full implementation. That it is going to be implemented is sacrosanct; nobody can run away from it. “Are they going to rewrite the judgment of the Supreme Court? Once we have the full details of their law, we will act accordingly. “There is no such moratorium.
