What is happening in other parties is worse. Take for instance, the action Rimi took recently. The National Chairman of AD, Alhaji Ahmed Abdulkadir, visited Ondo State recently and the leadership of Afenifere welcomed him. Afenifere leader, Senator Abraham Adesanya and Chief Ganiyu Dawodu welcomed him also. We are gradually resolving our differences.
Disagreements are normal in a democracy.
That is the essence of democracy. The governor would not want to be dragged into the argument that local government chairmen were corrupt or not performing because, according to him, the failures of the chairmen must be blamed on the Federal Government. He said unless there was true fiscal federalism in the polity, which should preclude the Federal Government from deducting local government allocations from source, council chairmen should not be expected to perform. Tinubu said he had to personally take on some of the responsibilities of local government authorities because of the burden placed on them by the central government. We will not look at the local government in isolation.
