We’ll Appeal Judgement On Local Govt. – KWSG

• Kwara State government has declared that it will appeal the Judgement of the Federal High Court Ilorin onnTIC constitution and legality. 

The Kwara State Government has declared that it will appeal the High Court Judgement that nullified the appointment of Transition Implementation Committees For Local Governments in the state by the state Governor, Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq.

A statement by the Kwara state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Salman Jawondo revealed that the state will exercise its right of appeal as enshrined under the 1999 constitution.

The statement read “The judgment in respect of the case filed by the incorporated Trustee of Elite Network for Sustainable Development was delivered today, the 8th of October, 2021.

“We wish to state that the reasoning of the trial judge is not a finality on the issue as it is subject to appeals at the higher benches, up to the Supreme Court. This allowance is guaranteed under our law.

“In exercise of its right of appeal as enshrined under the 1999 constituion as amended, the state government intends to explore that right. It will also, as allowed under the law, seek immediate stay of execution of the judgment of the trial Court”.

Recall that EkohotBlog reported earlier that a civil society organization based in Ilorin won the case against the state government on the illegality of TIC and need to conduct local government election immediately. The organization had said in its prayer that the TIC chairmen should return their salaries and spendings back to the government treasury.
