Emergency Rule: Reps Withdraw Jonathan’s Power Over States’ Funds by Tofax: 7:12am On May 29, 2013 |
In what it described as a reaction to public outcry against a breach of the constitution, the House of Representatives yesterday reversed its earlier decision to grant powers to President Goodluck Jonathan over funds of states and local governments under emergency rule. Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states are currently under emergency rule.Source:leadership.ng/news/290513/emergency-rule-reps-withdraw-jonathan-s-power-over-states-fund 2 Likes |

As long as the SOE remains, the fed govt should not benefit financially from it, defence budget should not be a blank cheque in any guise. The house of reps did well, I believe the Senate will follow suite. 3 Likes |

They have gone mad again, so we should use the federal money meant for other things to fund the soe that the northern governors/leaders brought unpon themselves?. This reps has never wished us well before so is not a big deal. The fact remains that as long as the soe last it will be funded with the states funds because they brought it unpon themselves. 11 Likes |

Reps have lost their minds ? So they support State of Emergency but want the Governors to still have access to funds to sponsor more mayhem or launder ? 1 Like |

na una fault? If the president requests for supplementary budget, i hope you reps will not hesitate to approve without adding to it in order to enrich your pockets. This democracy na complete nonsense. Imagine how happy these governors will be. What is going to be their contributions towards this insurgency. Stupid system. Look at how Ameachi and is friends will continue to look down on the president. |

Adamawa insecurity is not all that serious that calls for state of emergency. Is the north been marginalized? Where is our ONE NATION, ONE DESTINY core value. WE need to understand the true concept of democracy in this country. For those calling for Nigeria to divide, they have forgotten or were not born when the civil war was fought. The simple answer to our problems is to learn how to leave in peace not in pieces. What we are lacking in this country is leaders with foresight and who are willing to utilize our abundant resources to develop our infrastructure, control corruption, provide good and qualitative health care and educational facilities from villages, wards in local councils, towns and cities and more importantly Provide employment to our teeming youths....shi ke nan! Instead of bla..bla.bla..here and there...National Assembly, Presidency, North, South...this abusing that....Where are we heading to for God's sake? Are we really in the civilized world? WE don't respect our leaders and our leaders mess us with poor governance.....Haba! 1 Like |

Everyone likes to celebrate what the reps do. Most of the time reasonable people simply ignore them. Try and find out only very few of their nonsense resolutions are even read by anyone. Do they have the power to revoke something jointly passed with the Senate? 1 Like |

The idea of a violent state being responsible for the funding of SOE was a good idea. All other states shouldn't suffer their govenor's inability to maintain peace and security. SOE should only be funded by FG during natural disasters which is an "act of god",not violence and insecurities mostly caused and popularized by the ruling class that swore to secure its people. 1 Like |

Let me get this straight. The federal government controls the army, navy, police, customs and immigration, SSS, etc. All the outfits that should maintain law and order, security and the borders. They also control the prisons, where the captured Bokites are kept, temporarily, to be released by their colleagues. Yet the same federal government in failing to handle their security responsibility would like to usurp the funds of some states, where SOE has been declared by them. So they'll provide salaries for the workers, pay for reconstruction and revitalisation of services, after the SOE or what. Or are they just trying to transfer the billing, while maintaining control of these agencies? 1 Like |

Evergreen4: Are the governors suppose to retain their seats after the declaration of the emergency rule? Somebody should please explain to me because to me this our president is just doing everything awkwardly. When Marshal Law/State of Emergency takes effect, power is divested from the state governors so that there'll be a central control and besides nobody would declare a state of emergency if the governors are well capable of controlling the situation I dont get this GEJ's version of State of Emergency 1 Like |

this arant nonsence! When the emirs,sultans,sheiks and governors where supporting those boko rams the didnt knw gej wil get radical! Their funds should be used for security and war, our meager Defense budget is'nt even enough to maintain our military hardwares and do so acquisition, is it then when it is split to fight BH that it wil be enough? No! If such a thing is to happen then the FG must make plans to include "WAR CAMPAIGN" as a different subject from defense in the national budget! |

Ummm, hateful Mugu, internal security is the job of the Federal Govt. Imagine Obama telling Bostonians that they brought the recent bombings upon themselves and should thus pay for any Federal Govt.

The problem with Nigeria is that we have this propensity to look at our government like a meritocracy in which the president is president by virtue of his superior wisdom and ability so we tend to jump at the opportunity to give him whatever powers we can but it is because the president is all and get out that the rest of our government is a farce and the country is in an advanced state of disrepair, here they concluded that what three men could not do one man can do, forgetting that they have also made this one man lord over 33 other states, it is far too much and the president cannot influence and stimulate the country all by himself. 1 Like |

Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states are currently under emergency rule. Somebody should clear this for us oo. Is it Emergency Rule or just State of Emergency. Last I heard, all the democratic government structures are still in place; from the Governors to even the LGA Chairmen. Let's get it straight. |
