A HISTORIC JUDGEMENT.part three

However in the aftermath of the historic judgement there was panic in many states where a staggering 437 local government councils in 19 states risk zero allocation beginning from this month of July  following the imminent suspension of their monthly allocation and the threat of caretaker committees can generate.The growth of systemic uncertainty seemingly pervades these lawless states still enforcing the illegal use of caretaker committees and lack of democratically elected councils.Any council that fails to comply will have their funds confiscated.The 19 affected states and 437 local councils include 23 local governments in Rivers states;27 in jigawa;21 in Anambra;14 in zamfara;23 in Benue State;20 in Bauchi; 17 in Plateau states;Abia has 17 councils guilty in this context too;34 in Katsina;17 in Enugu;18 in Cross River;23 in Sokoto;44 in Kano;17 in yobe state;18 in ondo state;30 in Osun ;31 in Akwa ibom;Imo State and kwara state 27 and 16 respectively.Luckily for Delta currently operates with 25 locally elected councils might escape the hammer.
I ask again does it make sense for federal government to renege on its own verdict? It is somehow too early to pass verdict and let's wait till 2027
