President agrees to delay Gazetting of
Executive Order 10

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari yesterday met with the Nigerian Governors Forum over the recent Executive Order 10 that gives autonomy to State legislatures and Judiciary.

President Buhari at the meeting agreed to delay gazetting of the Executive Order 10 after listening to the concerns raised by Governors on the Executive Order 10.

Briefing State House correspondents after the meeting, Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum and Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi said after listening to their concerns, about the constitutionality of the Executive Order, President Buhari agreed that the gazetting order would be delayed.

He said that the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, and the Attorney General of the Federation, General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami were at the meeting.

The meeting which he said was hosted by the Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari was attended by Governors Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and his Kebbi State counterpart, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu.

He said: “We have a delegation of the governors’ Forum here to discuss some matters of fundamental importance to the nation and the President has asked that we meet with the Attorney General, the Chief of Staff and the Minister of Finance Planning and Budget on the issue.

“It is an issue that has seized the interest of many of you in the media and a lot of people in the federation, it is about the autonomy of the State legislature and the judiciary and we’ve met with the President before now on it and the President was very pleased that for us as Governors, we are all united in support of the autonomy of State judiciary and the legislature; that’s the position of the 36 Governors of the federation.

“What is at issue is on the constitutionality of the modalities of what had been put in the Executive Order and the President was gracious enough to say ok, given your concerns about that we will delay the gazetting of the order and allow you meet with the Attorney General and the Minister of Finance out work out the modalities.”

He said that the Governors have also been consulting with the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures, in order to work out an amicable resolution of the matter.

According to him, “In any case, we have been meeting at our level with the conference of Speakers. The Vice-Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum; Governor Tambuwal of Sokoto State, was delegated as the Chair of a number of Governors who have gained legislative experience either because they were in the House of Representatives or they were Speakers of State Assemblies, or they were Senators and that committee has been meeting with a delegation of the Conference of Speakers, working out these modalities and we believe that all of that would be settled amicably without any resort to court. ”

When asked if they touched on the issue of the forthcoming governorship primaries in Edo State, Fayemi said they were in the State House to discuss strictly the issue of Executive Order 10 and the autonomy of State Judiciary and legislature.

I’m sorry, my fault. I forgot you’re an Idiót.

Who no like better thing. Only if they truely have the interest of the masses at heart, then kudos to them.

Finally, the State Governors supports the financial autonomy of the State Legislature & the State Judiciary.

Why are they against it initially?

The Executive Arm of Government cannot be exerting authority over the Legislature & the Judiciary. The 3 are suppose to be independent & maintain cordial relationship.

Again, they've succeeded in convincing the President to delay the Executive Order.

Blah blah blah.....what a democracy.

The first blow was financial autonomy for LGAs and now this. Executive order 10 will really clipp the wings of governors. So their fear is understandable.

Chai these Governors are the undercover saboteurs of the progress of this country. Let's focus on this governors, they are the Devils

The govs don't want it

Issorite

These Governors are hell bent on usurping the powers of the legislature and judiciary as entrenched in the constitution. Sometimes I get confused as to which is the biggest problem between the central government and these state governors ,who wants to loot everything for themselves,family and folks.

That's in contravention of the separation of power, that should be the benchmark of our nascent democracy.

I hope for the first time the President does not accede to their dubious manipulation; maybe in so doing I will at least be able to point out to the adminstration's single but notable achievement.

Bunch of jokers


May God save us from wicked leaders

Okay, we are waiting

I don't understand why it hurts when you bite your tongue by accident and it doesn't hurt when you bite it on purpose. I also don't understand why you're biting your tongue right now. Now don't check my Profile or Signature

Base on reports via nta tonight the governors have succeeded to put the president good intention to a halt.. The executive bill will have to be implemented at a later day

Do the governors want to control the judiciary in their state or what exactly is their problem here
