Kwara govt vows to appeal as court sacks Councils TIC chairmen

The Kwara State Government has revealed that it would appeal the Kwara State High Court ruling which sacked the Transitional Implementation Committee (TIC) chairmen appointed by the state governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq in the 16 local government councils.

The government also said it will seek an immediate stay of execution of the judgment of the Trial Court.

This was contained in a statement issued by the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Salman Jawondo Esq., on Friday in Ilorin.

The statement read partly, “The judgment in respect of the case filed by the incorporated Trustee of Elite Network for Sustainable Development was delivered today, the 8th of October, 2021.

“We wish to state that the reasoning of the trial judge is not a finality on the issue as it is subject to appeals at the higher benches, up to the Supreme Court. This allowance is guaranteed under our law.

“In exercise of its right of appeal as enshrined under the 1999 constitution as amended, the state government intends to explore that right.”
