Isn't it better to separate state and LG account once and for all?
You strip gov to remove lg chairman but leav their allocation in their hand.

Anyway still good news sha... But separate their allocations acc, that way pure judgment would have been delivered

Wike should quickly reinstate the LGA Chairmen he dissolved.

I know the matter is still in court and with this ruling i see the chairmen returning back to office.

This judgement just dey do me yori yori..

An applause & champagne swigging moments... very very brilliant decision... This is 50% of the battle , the remaining 50% is seperating states & lgs accounts.... By the time this is done, some governors will not only resign of their own volition, some whose main focus is purely "chop chop" will not even bother...

This will also strengthen LG administration in two ways, it will attract better than area warlords/local touts & best of all, LGs & councillors are in the same community.

Make we dey look the excuses for bad portions of inner roads /streets then....

The military wrote the 1999 constitution, most of them had plans of exchanging khaki for agbada, that's why we have idiotic things like "immunity clause"!! Oloshi dem.

So long as LG and States have a joint financial account the one plays the piper will dictate its tune.
The National Assembly should as a matter of national important to first of all repeal the law joining LG Account with states. Without this being done LGA will always be under the mercy of the various states governors

Has anyone noticed that since the start of the cleansing of the SC,judgements now emanating from it now looks like that done by men that are worthy of the apex court of any land.I expect more groundbreaking judgements as more cases are decided.Its no longer judgements of the highest bidder.

You got it wrong,its the new CJN that brought about the changes.

The day democracy died at the LG level was the day state independent electoral commissions started conducting LG elections instead of INEC.
The state electoral commissions are constituted by the state govs to do the gov's bidding. I knew a friend who already saw the list of the winners of a yet to be conducted LG elections with his boss,the governor,many months before the election. At the election day,the gov merely transmitted same to the chairman of the state electoral commission who just announced it.
The first step towards LG autonomy once again is to scrap state electoral commissions and return its elections to inec as we used to know it. Then LG elections(chairmanship and councillors) would come first,the state(govs and state house of assembly) two weeks later and federal(presidency,senate and reps) another two weeks after.
The governors are the threat to our democracy
