Afe Babalola Accuses Governors Of Stealing Council Funds.
Founder of Afe Babalola University in Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) has revealed that state governors in Nigeria are misappropriating funds allocated to them.
He accused the governors of misapplying financial allocations to local governments in their domains.
Babalola made this known yesterday in the state’s capital, while declaring open the eighth edition of the Afe Babalola Agricultural Expo.
He lamented that the ‘inactions’ of the governors were limiting the development at the grassroots as well as depriving the people of the benefits that they should access without stress.
The legal icon expressed displeasure with the way governors run the third tier of government.
He said the governors have made the local governments the appendages of the state government, thereby rendering them ineffective.
He subsequently called on President Bola Tinubu to send the local government their allocations directly from the Federation Account.
