…says opposition states aren’t occupied territories

ABUJA — The African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Wednesday accused the Federal Government of using the freezing of statutory allocations to local governments in Osun State as a political weapon ahead of the state’s governorship election, describing the move as ‘political terrorism.’
The opposition party said the political standoff was no longer just about politicians, arguing that ordinary residents were now bearing the consequences as funds meant for workers’ salaries, primary healthcare, schools and other essential grassroots services remained tied up in the dispute.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC alleged that the withholding of local government funds was part of a wider campaign to weaken the Osun State Government before the election.
