On point!

The made bold part, is actually my fears with the idea.

However, like you rightly said, the advantages are promising than one can ignore; especially in an administration where there is accountability.

It also makes it easier for locals to directly hold their bosses to accountability.

Why should we wait for the president to monitor the 774 LGAs and 36 states

Why do we have state house of assembly lawmakers and LGA Councillors who can IMPEACH the erring leaders?


Why are we so LAME and expect a "messiah" to do ALL things for us and know all things on our behalf?
Why

Are the LGAs not right in front of the nose of the people so DEPRIVED?
Why do we (you & I) ALLOW these LGA chairmen and councillors "eat the people's money"
Is it no longer true that =>
If we are LACKADAISICAL about those who REPRESENT us, please tell me why will they not take advantage

Let them work, not waiting for monthly allocation which they end up squandering with their goons! We kind of ignore the massive looting that is on going at the Local government areas where chairmen are stooges of the governors, most don't even live in the local government areas where there were supposedly elected but live in the comfort if highbrow areas of their state's capitals!

There should be shift from allocation to generation, Oil has really made many of our 'elected' officials mentally lazy!

Memories fade fast.....for those with the intent to skew records to meet predetermined outcomes.....
Gen. Minimah as Chief of Army Staff moved alongside the Command Centre to the theater of the conflict as soon as he assumed office as COAS.....
Some of these cosmetic changes do not necessarily translate into successes......There should be less political interference..... Our military officers should be left to prosecute the war against the insurgents....the way they've being trained to do......

Ex Benue State Governor take note

dearpreye:


Actually the LG was created to bring government closer to the people. But it has been hijacked by our governors and converted into appendages for them.

Autonomy for LG has a lot of benefits:

It brings the government really close to the people.

The people can now actually elect their chairmen; Governors can no longer decide who should be the chairman.

It whittles down the power of the governor.

The LG can now perform the main functions for which it's being created. For now, governors frustrate them by giving them ONLY salaries for workers.

It's also easier to deal with any non performing chairman.

Downsides:

It could a lead to abuse of power by the LG bosses.

It could also lead to waste and corruption, if the state assembly is weak, inept and lazy.

By and large, the merits outweigh the demerits.

Daniyemi:
I hope the Likes of Tinubu who believe the south west is solely for his use and control (human and material resources) are listening?

I still would not make any sense from all the ramblings of Buhari if he does not start dealing with the rouges around him.

People like Tinubu, Obasanjo need to be told that states cannot be controlled by them.
They need to limited. Buhari whatever campaign against corruption you have, start with the rouges around you.

APC screams PDP has ruined Nigeria for 16 Years. Was GoodLuck president for 16 yrs?
It therefore means they acknowledge Obasanjo was grossly corrupt and incompetent.
Buhari Limit this two people and put them in the right place.

Now we have President Buhari a very fit, proper, willing, ready, able and above all non fearing president. This is the right move in the right direction, a good beginning. With this i can boldly say we have a Government in place, that is putting its money where its mouth is. We do no longer have a Government of procastination.

This afternoon you made me happy, when you said in your speech and i qoute: "I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody."
What a Weighty statement meaning Synchphants, back off!!!! Political hawks - back off!!!! Tinubu backoff!!!! The Papa Clark of the political world - back off!!! OBJ - backoff!!!! ACF - backoff!!! Tanoids Backoff!!!

I know, today some people in the polluted Niger Delta will be troubled and most will not sleep well because their son former President Goodlock Ebele Jonathan is no longer in charge of affairs of our great nation and their perfect and number one enemy President Muhammadu Buhari has today been sworn in as the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Furthermore, the so-called amnesty program for Niger Delta militants and terrorists will become a thing of the past come December.


Mr President on behalf of APC Nairaland Chapter, well deserving nairalanders, and even Tanoids on Nairaland. I say a Big Thank you. You can now have a little rest, and never forget this powerful speech of yours - let it be it be your guide and contour - a destiny is here to be fulfilled.

Welcome, Mr president Mohammadu Buhari!
