APC's Alli Promises Empowerment for Oyo Local Governments

Senator Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, declared that the era of stifling local government councils will end next year. He made this statement during a dialogue organized by the Oyo Rising Citizens Forum (ORCF) on Tuesday in Ibadan.

Alli assured residents that grievances related to the circular road construction would be addressed within 48 to 72 hours. He emphasized that his administration would not sell state assets and would focus on leveraging agriculture and mining.

Furthermore, he promised to establish at least one cottage industry in each local government area and to reduce classroom populations to a maximum of 30 pupils per class. Alli stated, “My administration will not spend one kobo belonging to local governments.

They will build their schools, build their health centres and employ their own workers. That era of stifling the councils is over.” He also committed to setting up a committee to address residents' grievances promptly.
