We're not ripe for that yet. Governors in Nigeria are satanic emperors. They'll finish their opponents in the States. Emperors that have been fighting against autonomy for state assembly and local government.

The governors are reckless abusers of powers. The status quo should remain for now until we're matured enough. Let them set up local vigilantes in their states and fund them very well. It'll yield results.

U dey mad ni

Daniel Bwala

Dem don employ dis criminal

The police will still grab him ASAP

Otilo

Jesuuuuuuuu

So nobody was able to chop off his dick? Too bad!

fergie001:
Na the way nah

My sympathy goes to Asue Ighodalo,a very cerebral and competent man. He'll obviously suffer for the many wrongs of Obaseki. There are too many people just waiting to deal with Obaseki and anyone he's supporting. I don't know how he managed to get himself into so much fights, especially with almost all his benefactors. Even the palace of the Oba wasn't left out too. Asue Ighodalo has been trying so hard to deny Obaseki but it's not just working at all. I don't envy him at all.

fergie001:
You think they will listen to him?
Orbih has rebuffed any meeting with GO and said all should go to the field, hence his meeting their 'oga'.

GO offered Deputy or SSG, and they said NO.

Ogbeide-Ihama is from Edo South, infact from the same LGA as Obaseki as well and was one of those who fell at the Primaries thanks to Obaseki & Ayu.

The plan is to do giveaway like Samuel Anyanwu.

Your last sentence actually cracked me up. Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Women stop bringing pussy to the table, we also have gbola. Make una go hustle too. Stop acting like your entire existence depends on the money of the man.

Chaiiiii.....dis babe career just end like that

zedegit:
Ganduje do worse but he still dey office. Infact dem reward am for stuffing dollars for him babaringa.

Ganduje was an elected official not appointed. Make una try dey study na

fergie001:
You are using the word if

We are talking about today, now. Who will even give the legislature autonomy? If you are elected Governor today, you will be the first to cry against it.

One, even from the SUG, you are taught how to control your Speaker. That is the first task of any Governor, so for today, nobody will give the legislatures in Nigeria their own funding. Even the Judiciary that Buhari allowed, the Angry Governors went to the Supreme Court and won. That's why I said Nigeria is no utopia.


Who will make the Assembly independent?

I don dey suspect you ooo 🤣🤣

E be like u don finally join them. You know what I mean abi?

On a serious note, we'll never get the best of the executive until the legislature is independent. Somebody will have to make it happen sometime soon. I want to see both the national and state legislature overriding the executive for public interest.

aribisala0:
Did Buhari want Gambari to be powerful?

Like I said before, the COS is as powerful as his boss wants him. Some other appointees are even more influential in some governments. Hope you remember who Tunde Sabiu was in Buhari's government?

EdoBoy90:
Shut up. You are still a kid.

How can you compare COS to a Speaker? COS is more powerful and better. Speaker can be easily impeached.

I don't have time for empty blockheads. So fvck off!

fergie001:
Martins only have a teeth because the Governor has no tooth. Who says a Speaker can't be taken out. We have countless examples, I mean countless in Nigeria. It is because of who Fubara is, we saw it with Obaseki, didn't we? Will the Speaker had done same with Wike?

Nigeria is no utopia, and how many times not just in Nigeria do you hear that a President or Governor fired his Chief of Staff, his closest staff. The man who vets everyone that either wants to come see him or even work for him. The man who takes the hit of the Government, the man who can even kill to protect his Principal.

Only naive players like Jonathan did that and paid for it.

My guy governors unseat speakers because the assembly is dependent on them for funding. They use that to get members on their side to impeach the speaker. I repeat again, if we have autonomy for state assembly and they are in charge of their funds, you'll see how powerful the speaker is. Just let their monies come directly from FAAC and see power display.


Before any small quarrel governor don sieze their money, like Fubara did. That's the only thing the governors are blackmailing them with. An independent assembly can cut the governor to size. I'm telling you bro.

Odidigboigbo:
But Femi Gbajabiamila resigned from his elected position to take the role COS to Tunubu likewise other legislators resigned to take ministerial roles. What is more weird than that?

Femi knew he will not be reelected as speaker again. Nobody will resign as speaker of house of representatives to take up any appointment in the executive. He's the number 3 man in the country.

By the way, lalong also resigned as minister to take his seat as a legislator.

aribisala0:
Does governor have any money
It is law that gives him power
Did he bring any money from his house to a Government House
If he does not obey the law they will impeach him
Tinubu's government will not send him a kobo of allocation outside the law.
All the House need to do is pass a law with two thirds majority and the FG will send them their money directly. They can even stop the governor receiving money from the FG by passing a law to that effect

Because you are used to seeing compliant Houses you do not realise how powerful the House is.?
The House can freeze all bank accounts of the state and the banks must comply .

Don't bother about those kids

BondRiv:
Myopic fellow. Start by counting me out. I do not want to see him. No wonder this country is like this. Anyway, I have spelt out his powers for you. If you do want to see him, you are at the mercy of the Chief of Staff, unless the governor has a hands-on approach to governance. This one is clearly naive.

Too many ignorant fellows on nairaland. Please allow the guy. You can't educate an intentional ignoramus.

Demigod22:
Abba Kyari will just be smiling at your naivety in African practical politics. West you typed up there is the ideal point, but in Nigeria, you look at the practicality of situations.

In States like Kogi, Ogun, the speaker is a Lilly liver, Chief of Staff practically hijacked day to day governance.

You see the level of power Chief of Staff exercised under Buhari?

Buhari was a weak president. The chief of staff is as powerful as the governor or president wants him or her. Under a very strong personality, the chief of staff has no much influence.

fergie001:
If you get one of those two, my brother pick Chief of Staff ooooo, e get why!

No budget .... Except the Governor, extremely more powerful than everyone including the Deputy Governor.

U can be fired at anytime take note. If not for the kind of system we run, an autonomous speaker is as powerful as the governor. Give full autonomy to the state legislature and see the full power of a speaker. You can see what Martins led Rivers State assembly is doing to Fubara already.


With full autonomy I go collect speaker ASAP.

Hoelujohn:
The new speaker will have to go through him to get to the governor.

Does it look like this speaker wants to see the governor? Lol 🤣🤣

Some mumu people here go still believe this will actually work. Lol 🤣🤣

Ndume hand go soon meet you.

Fubara lost this battle since last year when he agreed to recognise Martins as speaker. He'll suffer for the next 4yrs. Mumu man!

princeade86:
Then who will sign it

Make una still try dey read na

MrRemedyAlagbo:
This Yusuf is smart and a true kwankwasiya 😂 them no dey gree .

Leave go where ? 😂

It's strange to see a Nigerian still believing a politician. I pity u oo 🤣🤣

Shaibu will scatter what is left of Edo State PDP.

MadamExcellency:
Does he know that Super Eagle was undefeated and was first in their group?

The aesthetic is no longer the better part of football but winning.

They were not first in their group.

Sharing and looting continues

Fubara already recognised Martins as Rivers State assembly speaker. Isn't that why he sent the names of the commissioners to him for screening? I don't know what these clowns are saying. Besides is there any other house in Rivers State today? Edison has since resigned.

A country that recruits Boko haram terrorists into the army. How them no go dey kill una? I blame those still enlisting in the Nigeria army. Boko haram is a formation in the Nigeria army already. What a country!
