Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

The PVC Initiative for Good Governance Diaspora (PIGGD) has lauded President Bola Tinubu for his role in advocating and supporting the Supreme Court judgment that restored autonomy to local governments. In a press release issued by Wisdom Opara, the UK-based Convener/President of PIGGD, also known as Chukwuemeziem Ekete, the group emphasized the significance of the apex court’s decision in upholding democratic principles. Opara stated that the Supreme Court’s ruling aligns perfectly with the core values of democracy and is expected to deliver tangible benefits to grassroots communities. He underscored the importance of enforcing the fiscal aspects of the judgment, stressing that its implementation by relevant stakeholders is crucial for realizing its intended impact. Known for his advocacy for good governance in Africa, Opara highlighted PIGGD’s commitment to providing strategic political support aimed at bolstering democracy and promoting effective governance across the continent.

Expressing gratitude to President Tinubu for his steadfast commitment to sustainable democracy in Nigeria, Opara commended Tinubu’s adherence to constitutional principles and his proactive stance on issues concerning local governance. He emphasized the pivotal role of local governments in grassroots development and their integral position within the national leadership framework.
According to Opara, Tinubu’s leadership has demonstrated a clear vision for improving Nigeria’s democratic landscape and fostering inclusive development. He noted that PIGGD has closely monitored Tinubu’s leadership trajectory and urged Nigerians to rally behind his administration in its efforts to rejuvenate the nation and restore it to its former glory.


The statement further asserted that the Supreme Court’s decision will facilitate accelerated development, enhance infrastructure, and promote stability within local government administrations across Nigeria. It hailed the judgment as a pivotal milestone that paves the way for robust local governance and underscores the importance of autonomy in driving socio-economic progress at the grassroots level.
In conclusion, PIGGD reiterated its support for President Tinubu’s initiatives aimed at advancing democratic ideals and encouraged continuous collaboration among stakeholders to uphold the rule of law and foster sustainable development across all tiers of government in Nigeria.
