I support the abolition of the State and LG joint account and the approval of LG autonomy from the State, some people say the funds will be embezzled by the council Chairmen, I think its better that the citizens of the council knows who to hold accountable for their funds, let all tiers of Government grow together in the advancement of democracy in our nation. Secondly, the abolition of the SIEC is a very fragile one, I want to believe that the country will not be held hostage by the Government in power in the centre? the Abuja politicians should not hijack this nascent bill, Nigerians, we know how to abuse every institution, we just find our way to abuse it no matter how sacred. I pray this won't be another disaster by the NASS and the Party in the Centre. Only time will tell. For those clamouring for state creation being unable to meet up the criteria, this is just to show how ignorant and careless we are as a people, otherwise how can one go for a serious, monumental, constitutional request as crucial and important as the creation of a state without meeting up or having the idea of the detailed qualifications for such demands? Yet, these are men and women that we hold in reverence and very high esteem, men and women we must times refer to as "timbers and calibres", cream d la cream of our society, yet they can't fulfil such a simple task as small as to meet up required documents and signatures for the creation of states. This is to show why we are where we are. Clueless, retarded, visionless, and lawless individuals parading themselves as Leaders, maybe they thought its business as usual, where states are been allocated on the basis of sentiments rather than merit. 12 Likes |

Not a single person above me read the story and they are commenting on what they don't know. Op is only being sensational. The topic should read 'constitutional review committee report submitted to senate'. 8 Likes |

It's unfortunate! Among all, what I'm desperately concerned about is the creation of more states. Wow, I've been warming up to be Chairman of my new local government if state created. More states is tantamount to more developments. D tin pain me, shai! |

I think one of the best thing the senate should really pass into law is the separation of the LGA and State joint account. The SIECs should also be scrapped. In states with a PDP governor, virtually all the LGA chairmen of the party wins. In states with ACN the same thing. 2 Likes |

Re: Senate Recommends 6-year Single Term, LG Autonomy by talk2s(m): 6:05pm On Jun 04, 2013 |
I boldly opine that The Senate of de Federal Republic of Nigeria has done well in 2, out of the 3 areas of recommendations: 1. Abolition of of State\LGA Joint Account; 2. 6year single-term for de executive. As for de eradication of SIECs, our democracy is still nascent (espercially by de practitioners). In as much as they've courageously recommended the two above, which will go a long way to streamline de powers of de State Governors, they should equally be wary not to further empower de government at de centre. Any ammendment that suggests that should be kept aside. For crying out loud, we are operating a Federal system of Govt., therefore de centre should be weakened! In de same vein, provisions and clauses should be inserted to checkmate de LGAs Chairmen and other officials from going hare wire with the people's funds. MY TAKE! |
