ALGON shows solidarity with reinstated APC council officials in Osun

The National Leadership of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) says it recognises the reinstated All Progressives Congress (APC) Council Chairmen and Councillors in Osun State.

The Association, in a letter addressed to Idowu Abiodun, the ALGON Chairman in Osun expressed its commitment to upholding the rule of law and consequently upholding the decision of the Court of Appeal which reinstated Council Chairmen and Councillors.

Bello Lawal, the National President of ALGON in the letter signed by Evan Enekwe, said: “I am directed to inform you that ALGON Leadership has been keenly following political developments as it affects Local Government Councils in Osun and condemns the unnecessary and wanton destruction of lives and properties, most especially the death of Hon. Abbas, a member of ALGON. We extend our condolence and pray against such occurrences.
