Fagbemi emphasized that LG chairmen have no immunity and will face consequences for misusing funds meant for development.

 

“The choice is theirs if they want to tamper with these funds and end up in jail, it is their choice,” he said. He encouraged chairmen to prioritize development and security, stating, “If they stay at the local government, we will be able to reduce the level of insecurity that we have in Nigeria today.”
