ALGON-IMC vows to retrieve association from Lawbreakers
Declares Alabi NEC meeting Null and Void
Urges Buhari to intervene in association crisis
We have gotten a befitting Office for ALGON, says IMC
Commends FG for Allocation Upgrade, begs for more
Amidst concern bothering on the crisis besieging the association, leadership of the Interim Management Committee of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria, ALGON has vowed to retrieve and restore the association from the hands of lawbreakes to its glory.
The IMC led by Hon. Abdullahi Shuaibu Maje making this revelation during its National Executive Council Meeting held in Valencia Hotels Abuja on Thursday alongside concerned statutory members of ALGON, reiterated its position that Hon. Alabi Kolade David is not a chairman of any of the recognized local government areas enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria; hence does not have a stake in deductions at source or even the affairs of the association in general.
Recall Alabi led faction of the association had earlier on Wednesday conducted a NEC meeting in Lagos inviting Chairmen and Councilors, reacting to the development, the IMC declared that the meeting held by the former, is in flagrant violation of the subsisting court order restraining him from parading as the leadership of ALGON. It however re-pledged commitment to ensure it legitimately rescue and retrieve the association from the hands of usurpers and lawbreakers.
Also commending the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration for the increment made on the allocations of the Local Government to 3.13 percent, the IMC however begged Buhari, to consider general increase from the current to a 35% general percentage as the responsibilities and burden on the Local Government have overtime become enormous.
The Interim Management Committee who further begged President Buhari to intervene in the current association crisis, revealed that it now has a befitting Office to carryout the activities of ALGON and will in due time write to concerned organisations, MDAs to preempt them officially of the development.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
