Falana pointed to several recent instances, such as the change of “Charley Boy Bus Stop” to “Baddo Bus Stop” by former Bariga LCDA chairman Kolade Alabi.
He also referenced reports of streets being named after President Bola Tinubu, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and late Access Bank CEO Herbert Wigwe reportedly at the instance of businessman Aliko Dangote.
In his view, these actions bypass constitutional protocols.
He argued that only local government councils have the authority to name or rename streets, as established by the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
