The labour party caucus of the National Assembly has urged the Anambra state Governor Charles Soludo to without delay withdraw from the State Assembly his Bill proposal seeking to overturn the Supreme Court’s judgment on local Government’s financial Autonomy.

The group led by Senator Tony Nwoye while lamenting on the provisions of the proposed Bill titled: ‘Anambra State Local Government Administration Law, 2024’ currently at the Committee’s stage, also warned the State Assembly against undermining the rulings of the Judiciary as well as the extant provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

According to him, the state Governor who has been less supportive to security agencies in the state upon assuming office seems ready to syphon the local government’s funds at the detriment of the people, despite the recent court judgment.

Similarly, the deputy whip of the House, Rep. George Ozodinobi who noted that the state Governor is challenging the Federal government and the attorney general of the federation over their recent approval, appealed to him for a withdrawal of his intended proposal in order to avoid an unforeseen situation.

While urging Governor Charles Soludo to retrace his steps as soon as possible to avoid unsolicited issues, the caucus however pointed out the need for him to be mindful of the judgment of history.
