The Coalition of Concerned Nigerian Citizens (CCNC), a non-political organisation, has stated that the crisis arising from the withheld local government funds in Osun State is a threat to the political, socio-economic development, and well-being of the Osun people.
Speaking at a press conference, the coalition spokesperson, Raufu Sodiq, stressed that the continued withholding of Osun State local government funds has affected all sectors of the state, calling for the issue to be addressed without delay.
The coalition, which remarked that with the current situation, it has become increasingly difficult to sustain calls on the federal government to release the withheld funds, noted that funds are used for the betterment of the Osun people.
