Their reaction follows reported plans by Katsina State governor, Dikko Radda, to grant amnesty to about 70 terrorists as part of a peace deal in the state and neighbouring areas. The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, through the Special Adviser to the President on Communications and Publicity in the AGF’s office, Kamarudeen Ogundele, noted that governors have constitutional powers to grant pardon, provided the offenders were prosecuted under state laws.

Radda tells Nigerians not to blame governors alone for hardship

Katsina State Governor Dikko Umaru Radda has urged Nigerians to stop blaming state governors alone for the country’s worsening economic hardship. He argued that the Federal Government takes the largest share of national revenue and therefore bears major responsibility for how resources are used.​ Radda noted that under the current revenue sharing formula, the Federal Government receives about 52 percent of funds from the Federation Account, while states and local governments share the rest. He said this leaves subnational governments struggling to meet rising demands for salaries, infrastructure and social services amid inflation and currency depreciation.​ The governor pointed out that recent court rulings directing that local government funds be paid directly to councils will further limit the ability of states to intervene in grassroots projects. He warned that citizens should not expect miracles from governors when most of the […]
