The endorsement was part of resolutions reached at the association’s 54th Expanded National Executive Council meeting held in Abuja, attended by representatives from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as former leaders of the association.

The motion supporting Tinubu was moved by former ALGON President, Alabi Kolade David, and seconded by the Plateau State ALGON Chairman, Anani Hamisu Mohammed.

Support for Tinubu’s Administration

In a communiqué issued after the meeting, ALGON reiterated its backing for the Tinubu-led administration, saying the decision was based on the benefits of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

The association said the policies of the current government had strengthened fiscal autonomy and improved the capacity of local governments to function effectively.

It added that continuity would further deepen grassroots governance, enhance service delivery, and bring development closer to the people.

Three Chairmen Suspended Over Alleged Misconduct

During the same meeting, ALGON suspended three local government chairmen over alleged misconduct and actions considered contrary to the association’s constitution.

Those affected include Zakari Iliyasu of Agwara Local Government Area (Niger State), who also serves as ALGON Chairman in the state; Abubakar Danladi Abdullahi of Kaiama Local Government Area (Kwara State); and Abba Shehu Tambuwal of Tambuwal Local Government Council (Sokoto State).

The association accused them of impersonation, anti-association activities, and abuse of constitutional provisions.

ALGON warned government agencies, development partners, and state authorities against recognising or engaging the suspended officials in any official capacity.

Vote of Confidence in ALGON Leadership

The association also passed a vote of confidence in its National President, Bello Lawal, expressing full support for his leadership.

Members reaffirmed their commitment to the unity of ALGON and pledged continued backing for initiatives aimed at strengthening local government administration and grassroots development across the country.
