An erstwhile Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has urged President Bola Tinubu to ensure that the restructuring of the country is total.
George, who gave kudos to the Supreme Court on its ruling on Local Government autonomy, said the judiciary has, once again, proved that it is the last hope of the common man. In a statement on Saturday, the PDP leader tasked the President to ensure a complete overhaul of the polity.
'The apex court was precise and unambiguous in its verdict: Allocations to Local Governments must be paid directly from the Federation Account to councils governed by democratically elected officials. “”The judiciary has, once again, proved that it is the last hope of the common man.' George said the courageous verdict from the apex court would have far-reaching implications for the growth of democracy in world’s most populous black country and Africa’s biggest democracy.
