SpecialAdviser: After Buhari administration, Lai Mohammed should open school of Liars. Enough demons and small devils would like to get educated to attain the level of their master DEVIL.
He said the truth this time.
If you find the meaning of BREATHLESS,, you will understand
stmezico: My take.... State policing is good but must be regulated.. Some governors are tyrants and can use it to witch-hunt their rivals or opponents... The states House of Assembly should be very powerful to checkmate the excesses of the governors when necessary.... The other questions will be between the Federal Police and the State Police which one has the Supreme Power above the other?
They should have the same powers. Just that the Federal Police can function in any state. And they get paid from the Federal Pause. ... The State Police can only function inside its state. Anything that crosses to another state, they should either hand it over to the police in that state, or to Federal Police. If it is a multi-state issue/case, then the states that are involved should work together with themselves and with the federal police... ... The laws establishing such police establishments should make all these very clear though
azpekuliar: I look at the conduct of governors like Umahi, Wike, El-Rufai, Sanwo-Olu, Matawalle, Yahaya Bello, Ganduje, Ayade and Uzodinma and categorically say NO to state police! It will end in tears. States can have other powers but that state police, hell NO! Those cowboys will run rough-shod over everybody.
There should be another police-control-agency for the state police, which the police excesses can be reported to. Again, the State Police should be independent in its actions, in the sense that it's processes of “going into action” should be the same for all individuals and cases.. There should be no preferential treatments. There should be no fear or favours. There should be no bias. And finally, the rule of law should be adhered to the letter...
STATE POLICING COMES WITH GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES AND CAUTION.
This is one critical aspect of good governance; a leader interacting live, with his followers. Unfortunately, many ignorantly or mischievously believe it is unnecessary when it comes to Presidency.
That alone should be the best part of governance..
THAT IS,, CITIZENS PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNANCE...
Although most people would call-in to complain and castigate... He should be calm enough to note all of them.

Snapchat: Lmao. Obidense tears just start. If you can twist Tinubu’s speech and turn it into propaganda, change it to what he doesn’t mean just to score cheap political points; then you should accept it when they do it to Obi. After all there’s no difference between Obidense and urchins
Tit for tat too dey pain
We are just repeated what he said.
How can we be inside his mind in order to know that what he said with his mouth was different from what he meant inside his mind??
We blame Tinubu for saying things which he doesn't mean. He should know that at times like this,, You say what you mean, and mean what you say.
Don't come and say one thing, and be meaning Something else
Period007: The moderator who pushed that doctored video to front page should be permanently banned, or we will start reporting this forum as a fake news website.
Brendaniel: The truth is that APC and PDP have never met an opponent like Peter Obi and the Obidients in the history of electioneering in Nigeria since 1999, they are practically confused on what to do, they initially thought it will be election as usual but they were wrong, now they just try to throw jabs like a fighter that has already lost a battle but just trying to cover shame.
Peter Obi and the Obidients changed the game of election in Nigeria - APC and PDP are far behind
For the First time,, a leader is happy that the people are solidly with him..
.. Unlike the other leaders who put all their trust in their Political Parties
Strong indication emerged Tuesday, that constitution review exercise by the 9th National Assembly has hit the rocks on account of refusal of 25 State Houses of Assembly refusing to consider any of the 44 items sent to them for concurrence.
The affected 25 State Houses of Assembly as lamented by the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo–Agege, are requesting the National Assembly to include establishment of State Police, State Judicial Council, streamlining of procedures for removing Presiding officers of State Houses of Assembly, and institutionalization of Legislative Bureaucracy in the Constitution.
Omo–Agege who briefed the Press in his capacity as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Constitution Review, said the position of the 25 States against the review exercise without the inclusion of the four demands, was communicated to them via letter written to that effect by Conference of Speakers of State Assemblies.
He said only 11 out of the 36 States Houses of Assembly, have considered some of the 44 bills transmitted to them for concurrence in March this year.
The 11 states he added are Abia, Akwa–Ibom, Anambra, Delta, Edo, Kaduna, Katsina, Kogi, Lagos, Ogun, and Osun.
He described the situation at hand as most disheartening, coming six solid months after the 44 bills have been sent to the states for consideration.
He alleged that refusal of the 25 State Assemblies to consider the bills was a case of hand of Esau, voice of Jacob.
He pointedly said that governors of the affected 25 States are behind actions taken by respective Assemblies as a way of frustrating effort at giving financial and administrative autonomy to local government councils across the country.
He said: “Six months after transmitting 44 Bills to State Assemblies for concurrence, it is most disheartening to inform you that only 11 State Houses of Assembly have demonstrated their independence and loyalty to the Constitution regarding the bills.
“25 State Houses of Assembly have yet to consider and vote on these bills. So far, only Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Anambra, Delta, Edo, Kaduna, Katsina, Kogi, Lagos, Ogun and Osun States have successfully considered, voted on, and forwarded their resolutions on the 44 bills to the National Assembly.
“More worrisome is that while we are still expecting the receipt of the resolutions of the remaining Houses of Assembly, we received a letter from the Conference of Speakers of State Assemblies informing the National Assembly that the remaining states will not act on the 44 Bills unless the National Assembly passes four new Bills they have proposed in the letter.
“The Bills they propose seek to amend the Constitution to: [b]Establish State Police; Establish State Judicial Council; Streamline the procedure for removing Presiding Officers of State Houses of Assembly; and institutionalize Legislative Bureaucracy in the Constitution.
“The National Assembly is in no way averse to acting on any proposed Bill or memoranda appropriately tabled before it, at any time in its life.
“However, it is legally inappropriate for the Conference of Speakers to use the four Bills as a quid pro quo to act on the 44 Bills the National Assembly 44 Bills transmitted.
“It is clear, and we cannot overstate, that this letter is not in keeping with the obligation the Constitution has placed on them regarding the Constitutional amendment.
“It is disheartening that some State Houses of Assembly, through the Conference of Speakers, would give the National Assembly conditions before fulfilling their constitutional obligations.
“Although the Conference of Speakers did not allude to it in their letter, we are aware of the undue interference with legislative processes and the political capture of some State Houses of Assembly by some State Governors.
“No doubt, some State Governors have worked tirelessly to turn the Conference of Speakers and some State Assemblies into political puppets, thereby undermining and delegitimising the legislative institution at the state level.
“This interference has been ramped up, especially in opposition to the Bills granting financial and administrative autonomy to Local Governments”.
In their separate remarks, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Ayuba Wabba and President of National Union of Local Government Employees ( NULGE), Comrade Ambali Olatunji, commended the National Assembly on financial and administrative autonomy proposed for local government councils.
They both called on the affected 25 State Houses of Assembly to concur to the Constitution amendments in the interest of good governance at the grassroots.
