The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State has welcomed the Supreme Court's split ruling on the state's withheld local government allocations.
In a statement on Friday, the state Chairman of the party, Sunday Bisi, said the judgement "reaffirmed the rule of law" despite alleged interference.
He said the ruling exposed "unconstitutional directives" earlier issued by the AGF and Finance Ministry to pay council funds to "illegal entities".
