An All Progressives Congress chieftain, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has called on the Federal Government to release monthly allocations to the court-reinstated APC-elected local government chairmen in Osun State.
Oyintiloye made this appeal in a statement issued on Tuesday after addressing newsmen in Osogbo, the state capital.
While making the appeal, he insisted that the state government would, at the appropriate time, be held accountable for the funds spent on the recently conducted local government election, noting that it is a waste of taxpayers’ money.
“I want to appeal to the Federal Government to start releasing the monthly allocation to the APC-reinstated council chairmen in the state from this month.
“The chairmen were unable to work since 2022 when they were sacked, but now that the Court of Appeal has reinstated them, the allocation should be released to them.
“This is the time for people at the grassroots to feel the impact of government, which has been neglected since 2022,” the APC chieftain appealed.
The former lawmaker also commended the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for his professionalism in handling security matters in the state.
“I also want to commend the Inspector-General of Police for ensuring peace in the state and for the professional manner in which he has addressed security challenges,” he said.
He praised the reinstated council chairmen for resuming duty despite alleged intimidation by the Peoples Democratic Party and urged local government staff to return to work.
“There is adequate security in place for them to contribute their quota as expected,” he assured.
Oyintiloye emphasised that their resumption would enable the chairmen to focus on delivering the long-awaited dividends of democracy to the grassroots.
