Impunity On The Prowl As Adamawa APC kicks against planned constitution of local government caretaker committees.

The Adamawa State Chapter of the APC has kicked against the planned constitution of the local government caretaker committees by the Fintiri led state government. Alhaji Ahmed Lawal, State Organising Secretary of the party gave the warning on Friday while addressing newsmen in Yola.


Lawal said that such action contravened the constitution which proscribed the existence of caretaker committees for local governments. According to him, our party will explore every constitutional avenues to resist such decision. “The constitutional provision for local council administration has abolished constitution of caretaker committees for the local government in Adamawa state.


“It provides for elected council leadership and where elections are not conducted, Heads of Service of various local councils which are civil servants should be appointed. “We are saying that the government can go ahead and conduct elections for emergence of elected council officials or can appoint civil servants to take charge
” And anything short of that negates the Local government establishment act and as such, we will approach the court,’ Lawal said.
