What does the bill mean?

Judges and State House of assembly wont receive allocation from State Governors any more, they would get all their money straight from Abuja, meaning they can do as they like without a governor intimidating them

Nonsense. Which autonomy? Let the states have autonomy over their treasure and resources.

Although this is a good and laudable move,am very happy.it is long overdue but am not sure the president has the powers to do this. Am thinking that for the state legislature and judiciary to be financially autonomous,they must be a constitutional amendment or at least an act by the nass.I remember how on several occasions during constitutional amendment,state legislatures voted against their own autonomy and that of local government which means it is a constitutional matter.this is like saying that buhari can sign an order making lgas to be free from states which is clearly illegal.

I think lawyers should throw more light on this

This is will water down the excessive powers these governors have over their states. The State houses can legislate properly. Kudos to Buhari. More of these moves.

Orr.it is a shaky order.executive orders should mainly cover minor issues mainly at the federal level.but the attorney general and accounting general are very influential and feared by many governors.they can still intimidate the governors and implement it afterall there's no financial gain for them.they can overlook it.it is only LGA autonomy that will bring issues

Well, trust the Governors to do a virtual meeting and use the Courts and back-channels to deal ruthlessly with any Speaker that endorses it.
