 I’ll never support Peter Obi's presidential ambition - Seyi Law Popular stand-up comedian, Oluwaseyitan Lawrence Aletile, also known as Seyi Law has vowed never to support the presidential ambition of former Labour Party (LP) candidate, Peter Obi.   In an interview on Tejubabyface show, Seyi Law attributed his reasons to Obi's failure to call the Obidient movement to order, particularly after its supporters allegedly attacked his wife and children due to his support for President Bola Tinubu. Seyi Law expressed deep resentment, stating that the attack on his family crossed a boundary that makes forgiveness impossible.  He emphasised that Peter Obi's refusal to admit and reprimand the Obidients for their actions solidifies his decision.  Seyi Law said: “I don’t feel down at all because when you talk too much, I swear for you. One of the good things that God has done for me is that my anger doesn’t last long. “Personal anger for me doesn’t last long. The only pla...

 Bayelsa having eight LGAs while others have 44 is an injustice – Diri


The Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, said the state has not been fairly treated in the creation of local governments.


He insisted that it is an injustice that the state only has eight local government areas while others have as many as 44.


According to him, Bayelsa deserved no fewer than 30 LGAs.


Diri said this in a post he shared on his official Facebook page on Saturday.


“In truth, Bayelsa State has not been fairly treated in the creation of Local Government Areas to the extent that today, we still have just 8 local government areas as opposed to some other states with 44 and 40 local government areas.


“That to us is a clear injustice! And our position from the beginning of this discuss has been that states should take charge of the number of local governments they can create and cater for.


“You don’t create local governments and take resources from one state to cater for the local governments in another state. That is robbing Peter to pay Paul!


“As governor of Bayelsa State, we demand urgent actions to correct this imbalance. Our position is that Bayelsa deserves not less than 30 Local Government Areas,” Diri said.


The Bayelsa governor welcomed penultimate Thursday’s Supreme Court judgement granting autonomy to local government areas in the country, maintaining that Bayelsa respected local government autonomy and even augmented the council’s finances before the landmark judgement.


“As a government, while we have received the decision of the Supreme Court on the financial autonomy of the Local Government Councils, it must be noted that my administration has been practising the autonomy in principle because we do not tamper with the allocations to the Local Government Areas.


“Rather, the State Government augments the allocation in a number of the LGAs where they are not able to pay salaries to their workers.


“Our reforms in the LGAs have largely sanitized the system to the extent that Local Government Chairmen not only conveniently meet their financial obligations to the workers, but now carry out projects and still have some savings at the end of each month,” Diri said.
