The African Democratic Congress (ADC) accuses Nigeria’s Federal Government of using the freezing of statutory allocations to local governments in Osun State as a political weapon ahead of the state’s governorship election. The party describes the action as “political terrorism” and says the freeze is being applied to influence political outcomes rather than follow legitimate administrative or legal grounds. In statements reported by both outlets, the ADC argues that opposition states are not “occupied territories” and that local government funding mechanisms should not be suspended for political reasons. ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi is cited in one report as making the case that the federal freeze amounts to coercion during an election period. The reports frame the dispute as part of a broader political standoff between the opposition and the federal authorities, with the ADC calling for the release of the frozen allocations. The Federal Government’s response or justification for the freeze is not detailed in the provided sources.
