LG Crisis: Yes or No APC Chairmen Dare Not Approach CBN – Osun Govt

The Osun State Government on Wednesday issued a warning to the reinstated All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairmen and Councillors against approaching the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the opening of accounts.

The state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, who gave the warning during a media chat with members of the Osun Online Publishers Association, OOPA, at the Osun State Government Secretariat on Wednesday, maintained that Osun is not a Banana Republic.

He warned that any attempt by the APC chairmen to collude with the Central Bank of Nigeria or any government agencies to withdraw local government funds would lead them to prison.

According to Alimi, the APC chairmen had no constitutional right to unilaterally open accounts for local governments at the apex bank.

It would be recalled that the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, ALGON, last week directed council chairmen in the country to approach the CBN for opening their local government accounts.

Speaking on this, Alimi said, “On the issue of local government documents for opening of accounts as per who is going to do documentation.

“Don’t let anybody deceive and bamboozle you. No CBN governor will allow ‘yes or no’ chairmen to open private accounts to receive money; they are just blabbing. The tenure they are fighting for, which they are killing people over, will end in October. That tenure started in 2022.”
