I will always say it, the biggest problem we have in Nigeria are governor's first, followed by the legislative arm at the federal level of government

Those two arms/tiers of government causes this country more arm than the presidency but Nigerians won't understand

Absolutely

Foolish Governor, where did he get those powers from, joint account doesn’t make it your account, na the state legislators I will blame, where is the law separating the accounts of the state & Local Government? they are all the same criminals, in fact we are all criminals.

Nonsense.

I'm more interested in accountability and transparency. How we we hold these people accountable for how public funds are spent.

ednut1:
Imagine the president freezing the account of all state governors. LGA are supposed to be autonomous. what is all this rubbish na

Imagine the federal government paying the salary of state teachers. That's what is happening in states. Pry sch Teachers are meant to be paid by LGA but the state government is the one doing so. What do you expect?

iwaeda:


Power is transient. Aketi may NEVER return as governor. If we all realise this.

Iwaeda you didn't answer my question. You used to be pro but now you're against...what's up

He did well.

All accounts should remain frozen until he settles into his new position before the LG Chairmen withdraw and waste funds ment for developments.

Sincerely,one of biggest stumbling block to the progress of Nigeria is our lopsided,wicked and undemocratic constitution!

TREAD CAREFULLY MR. DEPUTY GOVERNOR!

Has he forgotten he signed an undated resignation letter kept safely inside President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's drawer?

He just started very soon he go start sacking the commissional

Another war 🔫 is cooking

read your constitution State and local govt maintain joint account until it's reviewed gorvenors have enormously powers in that regard..

When power changes hands, the aura around the atmosphere changes. Whether this is good or bad for the people of ONDO, only tomorrow shall tell. I don't wann get to foreward in my judgement

free2ryhme:


Dem go hear am

Bro just watch as those busy body from my region a k a nose divers will carry Ondo matter for head and start attacking you for speaking a word of wisdom.

Now the fight against him is getting bigger, Aketi loyalist one side, the state assembly one side now the Local Govt chairmen one side.

In life when you fail to understand there is time to talk and time to keep quiet, time to go loud and time to reserve, time to fight snd time to shield the sword that person will end in a pit of doom.

Mr Ayedatiwa calm down those singing your praise today will mock you tomorrow life is slow and steady and not gragra like those motherfucker ipobidients "666" sons and daughters of the beast bastards.

NIGERIAns no dey really think deep na... Very easy to decieve

So we are still on this.

Nearly a quarter of a century after this country's return to civil rule - and the tier of government that's closest to the people is still in slavery?

This country is going nowhere fast. The steps to deepen this democracy (and make it work the way proper democracies should) are right in front of us. We either take them or we don't.

Contact your SHA lawmaker right now and tell him/her that there will be electoral consequences if local governments are not allowed to do their jobs. This joint account nonsense has got to go. If your lawmaker doesn't respond with answers, remind him/her of your powers of recall. And if your state governor ignores your views on this matter - send him a message that you'll be waiting for him at the polls.

Do something.

Now.

If you realise that the signature that placed him there was also forged, you won't be saying all these. He can't probe signature forgery... Never

Hmmm

Raskimonojendor:

One failed presidential candidate like that did not even conduct LG elections for the 8 years that he was in power for. He grabbed all the LG funds to himself.

Name Names.

Coward.

Nonsense.

During the constitutional amendment, some house of assemblies voted against their own autonomy. You don't expect them to work to make the LGs autonomous.

True independence for CBN, INEC, Judiciary, state houses of assembly, LGs, police, etc, would definitely JumpStart our development.

It's not that easy. I don't know why framers of the constitution were so stupid not to make the state assembly, State electoral commissions, State house of assembly, LGs, State judiciary, etc, not truly independent, but kept under the control of the governor.

In fact, some SHAs voted against giving autonomy in the last constitutional amendment exercise.

The state should be detached from the LGs and should not be the ones conducting elections for them. They should stop this appointments of LGs chairmen.

"They" did it on purpose. It was deliberate.

And...those who did it are not stupid. Far from it. They knew exactly what they were doing.

It was all by design.

However...the solution is straightforward. Although this matter may seem complicated and difficult, it is not. Local governments are a constitutionally ordained tier of government...and should not be enslaved by any other tier of government. The matter IS settled. The choice is in the hands of Nigerians: insist through your representatives that local governments must be allowed to perform their constitutional duties without let or hindrance. If Nigerians choose to ignore an obvious solution to some of their most urgent daily problems...then we deserve all the pain and suffering we are going through - and more.

Caseless:

Of course they did. They are doing the bidding of the political interests who put them there...and they will keep up with this outrageous behaviour until voters say "enough". It is up to voters to say "enough"!

You think "they" don't know all this?

Like I said, it is up to Nigerians to decide how they want to live. If Nigerians in remote (and not so remote) communities believe that it makes sense for a state governor in the state capital (hundreds of kilometres away) to decide if, when and how trunk C roads are constructed and maintained...or that it makes sense for state governors to decide how waste disposal is carried out in a fishing or farming community in a border town or village...then we deserve all the hardship that comes our way.

A significant proportion of Nigerians (young people obviously) have shown time and again that they can actually demonstrate high levels of voter participation or citizen action - if they want to. This Big Brother Naija and Big Brother Africa nonsense has proved this - in the initial editions at least - when viewers could vote (by text) for or against "house members" on these shows. (I don't know how the current format works.) So...Nigerians in their tens of thousands can vote on a TV show (and campaign relentlessly on behalf of BBN 'house members' they don't even know ) but the same Nigerians don't care about how their local government is run?

We are not serious.

If they probe all the agencies and personalities you listed who then is left out in the government.

My brother, it's not really like that. The primary school education/teachers is been sponsored by three fathers (federal, state and local govt), this happened as a result of the UBE act... States also domesticate the act (SUBEB). UNTIL WE HAVE TRUE FEDERALISM, THIS AND OTHER PROBLEMS CONTINUES...

Who is Bello

Has FG Paid the N35k after September, Nlfpmod. Ondo is close to my heart, because of love. He may sack ALL the commissioners, except, Bello.
