The Osun State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has filed a lawsuit against the All Progressives Congress (APC), challenging the party's alleged unconstitutional takeover of local government administrations within the state.
This legal action underscores the union's commitment to preserving the autonomy and integrity of local governance structures.
NULGE contends that the APC's actions undermine democratic principles and violate constitutional provisions that guarantee the independence of local governments. The union seeks judicial intervention to address these grievances and restore proper governance at the grassroots level.
The outcome of this legal battle is poised to set a significant precedent regarding the autonomy of local government councils and the limits of political party interventions in their operations.
