It's still clowning.
Many of them become ministers or senators after their tenure.
How many have been tried for diversion and embezzlement?
Akpabio and Silva are 2 of the worst corrupt governors the SS has ever known.
Their punishment? Compensation as ministers.
Let the clown find something else to amuse his audience.

Ebenezar2020:
No safe haven nor breathing space for corrupt Governors and politicians in this Regime. This isn't The previous regime that was full of mal-ad ministration and looting of funds meant for the masses.
Since Buhari became President, everything changed and the Nation is now in order.
Buhari is truly a messiah.
God bless Buhari and his family.
Long live Nigeria.

But there is safe haven for Akpabio, oshiomole, Tinubu and timipre sylva in d buhari govt.
Can u pls explain how "the nation is now in order" and how buhari is a messiah?

Buhari cannot do everything...that's why there are institutions of government.

The EFCC and ICPC are there to do their jobs.

If he can't do everything, then why is he making statements on behalf of EFCC and ICPC?

These trials can only happen if Buhari has a 3rd term.

We need to persuade him to amend constitution and serve a third term.

Have Akpabio, oshiomole and sylva not finished their terms as governors or we have to wait for buhari to get a third term b4 they are tried?

Their tenors have ended before the law on LG funding came into existence.

So are u saying that there were no local govts during their tenure and that funds were not made available for local govt administration in their states?

I am not saying that. My point is that during their tenure, there was no law in place compelling them give the LGs financial autonomy. Consequently they can't be prosecuted if they broke no law.

D issue is not whether there was a law compelling them to give LGs financial autonomy. if u agreed that there were LGs during d tenure of d gentlemen I mentioned and u also agreed that funds were made available to them for LG administration, d question is what became of those funds? Were they used 4d purpose for which they were allocated? If they can't account for those funds, are u saying that because there were was LG financial autonomy law that they weren't corrupt so therefore not subject to prosecution?

Who is to be blamed?. The federal government has the mandate to be paying the fund directly into local government account , instead they pay into state account.

The FG should strengthen electoral process at the local government level first to stop governors from appointing the chairmen or caretakers. That should be the first step but for now, he that plays the pipe dictates the tune.

You dont need the federal government help. Tell your state assembly representatives first. They can set rules regulating state electoral commission.

Why the fund belongs to local governments can’t go directly to the account of the local government ? Why should it go to the state’s account ? The governors won’t heed to that warning because they know nothing will happen to them after their tenure; many of them will move from governor to senate and the stealing would continue .

Blame the constitution. The state assemblies if I remember correctly have refused to abolish the joint local and state government accounts. That's one reason why Buhari had to use regulation to stop them.
