Resolve Constitutional Crisis In LGs – Group Tells FG

The Nigeria Association for Public Opinion Research (NAFPOR) has urged President Bola Tinubu and the Attorney General of the Federation, (AGF) to impose sanctions on any governor who violates the Supreme Court order that granted autonomy to elected local government chairmen.

National coordinator of NAFPOR, Benjamin Atu, said in Asaba, Delta State, that if the Supreme Court declaration cannot be enforced by the Inspector General of Police, the AGF must accept responsibility for his inability to ensure enforcement.

He said the president must introduce sanctions for actions and not lip service, as Nigerians want an action-oriented government because governors no longer respect the constitution or the judiciary.

He advised the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, to refrain from making statements without the necessary legal action and directives to provide the leadership bite expected of his office.

According to them, Lateef Fagbemi has lamented enough, and the duty of the AGF is not to lament with the helpless masses but to bring them out of lamentations.
