Oyo state governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde on Monday stated that it was on the same page with the Justices of the Supreme Court in its May 7, 2021 ruling, which ordered the payment of salaries and allowances of the dissolved chairmen and councillors of local government councils in the state.
The state government in a statement said that
as a believer in the rule of law and as a government with the utmost respect
for the Supreme Court, it will comply with the ruling of the highest court.
In the statement endorsed by Mr. Taiwo Adisa, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor ‘Seyi Makinde, the government declared that it had showcased its commitment to paying off the dissolved chairmen and councillors as far back as February 2020, when its negotiation team, pursuant to the out-of-court order of the Oyo State High Court, offered the council chairmen and councillors the same condition which the Supreme Court just affirmed.
