Sen. Gbenga Daniel, representing Ogun East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on the Supreme Court judgment which granted autonomy to local governments.
Daniel, in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, also commended the apex court for the landmark judgment.
He said that Tinubu had, through the judgment, demonstrated an uncommon courage and leadership by returning Nigeria to the path of growth and development.

He said that the constitutional resolution of the apex court was long overdue, as local government administration was the closest to the grassroots.
The former Ogun governor said that local governments should have the capacity to directly impact on the lives of the people through the initiation of life-changing policies and programmes.
He said that the president and the supreme court have restored sanity to the Nigerian political space, adding that the judgment would allow for delivery of democracy dividends to the masses.
“As a democrat and a progressive one at that, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has demonstrated enormous capacity in the struggle towards strengthening Nigeria’s Democracy, with this local government financial autonomy.
“He has once again set to recalibrate the wheels of our political and economic growth in a way that it will make clear meaning to the average citizen.
“I salute Mr President for this global roadmap that will usher in true and practical development in our nation,” Daniel said.
