The Deputy National President of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Hon. Shehu Jega Marshal who is also the ALGON State Chairman Kebbi State has affirmed the support of all members of the National Executive Council (NEC) comprising all the entire membership of Local Governments and Council Chairmen across the Country in total support for the legitimacy of the leadership of Hon Alabi Kolade David as its National President.

This was after a well-attended close door meeting with the DIG Department of Finance and Administration Sanusi Lemu and the FCT Commissioner of Police Bala Ciroma where he led a delegation comprising the National Treasurer, the Director of Legal and Administration and some Counsel to lodge a complaint against one Hon. Abdullahi Maje the Chairman of Suleja Local Government Area who is neither the ALGON state Chairman of Niger where he comes from, or a member of ALGON National Executive Council for having assented with some thugs to break and invade the ALGON national office in Abuja on Friday 16th April 2021.

ALGON notes that such action is condemnable, illegal, unwarranted and henceforth, will no longer tolerate such uncivil brigand and self-centered brinkmanship by way of invasion, impersonating, publishing libelous claims against the present ALGON leadership led by Hon. Alabi Kolade David and his Exco, to smear his image or that of the Association or in any manner of using the name of ALGON to advance his personal gains thereby undermining the public confidence in the Association.

It will be recalled that the Board of Trustees of ALGON led by its Chairmen Hon. Odunayo Ategbero on behalf of its members had since disclaimed the same actions and activities of Hon. Abdullahi Maje and pledged unflinching support to the Alabi led Exco and the Director General of ALGON in the person of Hajiah Binta Adamu Bello.

The NEC therefore appreciates the State Exco’s, Chairmen of LGA’s and Councils in Nigeria for their unbroken support and loyalty, the NEC would also appreciate the Nigerian Police and The Judiciary and other Security agencies for their continued support in safeguard and maintenance of Law and Order.

ALGON counsel to Maje is to use the funds available to him to focus on the humungous developmental challenges and infrastructural gaps besetting the industrious Suleja Local Government that he appears to have neglected.

Finally ALGON at the moment has rebranded to address several challenges facing the 3Tier and will NEVER be distracted under Hon. Alabi led Exco.

It is drawing strength on its Constitutional powers and wide support from both the Federal and State Governments as well as MDA’s, and Institutional partners.

ALGON now indeed is positioned as a breeding ground for quality leaders, to bring unity in Nigeria, entrench peace and serve as an Institutional memory for research and evidenced based development for the whole local governments and Councils in Nigeria.
