The issue of LG Autonomy borders on what is called " Federating Units" we cannot possibly have 477 federating units. It is understandable to have 36 federating units but not 477. LG Autonomy is dead on arrival. After LG Autonomy d next autonomy would be "Ward Autonomy" and after that "street Autonomy, where would this madness end. Presumably family or Home Autonomy.

I have even forgotten that we once had Kalakuta Republic in Surulere Lagos.

All y'all condemning without reading his reasons, what is wrong with true federalism and each states and region allowed to develop themselves? There's too much power at the center that's why we blame GEJ for everything and the Jonathanians say we are being unfair but that's the truth. True federalism is the way out...
. True federalism also includes local govt( mind you not LCDA) autonomy. Otherwise No need for elected government at LG.

Sometimes I wonder if we Nigerians really want change, I can't believe a man who has held such a seat can be saying so.
Why will we want to sacrifice this because some governors want to keep the money allocated to local governments to themselves?

Hummmm. What do you expect of a stooge. He must have been hand-picked by 'baba sope'. That's why he won't see anything bad in it LG autonomy.

The autonomy of the LGs will enable the people at the grassroots to decide without any God father influence since election will be based on performance at the local level. The scrapping of the siec will also give credence to the autonomy of the LGs.

LGs rarely hav d ability to manage funds. They will end up mismanaging it since dey won't be monitored by State govts. And I think d FG is just looking for ways to hijack grass root politics from opposition party States. Any which way, let d best favour me.
do state government mismanage funds? If yes have that made u to speak against their own autonomy? The state government are just very greedy, They kip eating the money allocated to local government and give whatever they like to the local government. The local government is closer to the people hence they should have autonomy.

I agree with him a bit. What I am against is state governors taking total control of LGs

I seriously don't even know what to comment after booking space and reading this post.
Maybe I should ask, will Local Government autonomy bring more dividends of democracy to grassroots? If yes, then it's a welcome development.

If it doesn't,I dnt what else will...its jst to show u d disregard for the rule of law and constitution,if d law and constitution stipulates autonomy for local governments,then it is law,refusal to allow it st

I monitored that programme yesterday.

The man was just blabbing away and was merely trying to obfuscate issues.

It was heartwarming that his co-guests and some call-in respondents were not deluded by his hocus-pocus. Bar. Justin Uhuegbu really gave it to him as he was struggling to verbalise the script prepared for him by his Ogas at the top.

All these arguments bugles down to stealing and corruption even our number
one leader said there is no corruption but stealing and very unfortunate the judiciary
are yet to differentiate between the both to us. What a pity
