Alabi Remains Suspended, Lacks Right To Berate State Govs – ALGON IMC

The Interim Management Committee of Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON), has disassociated itself from the recent comments made by Hon. Kolade Alabi where he berates state governors.

In a statement signed by the director of media, Victor Iwunor yesterday in Abuja, the IMC described the statement as unguided and disrespectful while noting that Alabi lacks the right to make statement on behalf of the association as he isn’t righteous nor the rightful person to speak on behalf of the association.

It said: “Alabi is not a chairman of any of the constitutionally recognised local government area, he is in fact from a development area council in Lagos State. He lacks the grandstanding to condemn democratically elected governors of any state in Nigeria for whatsoever action they choose to take within the confines of their office.

“The IMC is totally shocked at the effrontery of Alabi castigating governors who recently suspended local government chairmen neck deep in corrupt practices.

“Again, we have to reiterate, that Alabi lacks the moral right to speak on matters after he over the years has never addressed any media outfit as president of ALGON only to show face on mainstream media to drag working and committed state governor while peddling confusion and deepening association’s crisis.

“The IMC under the able leadership of Hon. Abubakar Abdullahi, chairman Abaji Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, wishes to use this medium to restate and remind Alabi Kolade David, that the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is beyond any individual.

Meanwhile, in another statement signed by the secretary general of the association, Hon. Mohammed Abubakar, he bemoaned the ill treatment he got from the Department of State Services (DSS), on order from Alabi and his cronies.

He said that regardless of occupying a position, he will be speaking as a concerned citizen who is privy to the issues besieging the association having been victimized for speaking up against the atrocities of Alabi, Hajia Binta, Enekwe, Okafor amongst others.
