He emphasized that little improvement has been seen despite calls for local government autonomy and recent legal actions against governors for misusing local government funds.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the socio-political programme &#8220;Inside Sources with Laolu Akande&#8221; on Channels Television, Ogbeh, a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed frustration over disappearing funds meant for local government administration.
