Good question. INEC can be empowered to hold LG elections

kedeojo:
They don't want inec to have more load when it is even difficult for them, to conduct election in terms of preparation.

atiku4President:
Bad leaders vomiting bad policies and laws

Indelibleage:
Let's wait and see the outcome in the long run.

QuinQ:
■ Bottom line: politicians can join the protest, and so can Tinubu. They have legitimate grounds for protest

Donake:
This has been abused and hijacked. Let the LGAs breath. Joint accounts are for specific projects by the states and LGAs

Shantyken:
∆ Storyland to you but for others is true

QuinQ:
∆ You are confusing protesting something to getting it. Same way u can protest that all officials resign (which will never happen), they can also be protesting things that won't happen

Shantyken:
U are wrong man, the present president won his election wella and mostly from northern states

Dapromzy333:
Ahead of the planned nationwide protest in Nigeria over economic hardship, Minister of Works David Umahi has said that the South-East zone of Nigeria would not be part of any protest against President Bola Tinubu.
Umahi also stated that President Tinubu’s administration is making hard decisions to restore the country’s lost glory.

∆ Does it occur to you that INEC with "a track record" conducted the election that opposition party have won as Governors even the election that gave your saviour Obi second term? Does is it also occur to you that Obi conducted LG election when he was about leaving the seat of Governor and no opposition won in any LGA?

Kilometres:
∆ Because United States' constitution is a people's constitution. Their constitution reads..."we the people"
Nigerian constitution was given by military with the purpose to serve the North interest, hence it cannot pass the test of time.
∆ US don't need much amendment cos they have a near perfect constitution. Nigeria operates a flawed constitution, hence we must continue to amend until we are ready to change the full constitution itself

∆ Constitutions are always being tampered with all over the world. That's why the Americans have the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Amendments in their constitution.

abidem4real:
You can imagine six years with Jagaban in power!!! It would be definitely excruciating.

Blazebond:
We are watching naively while the F.G tries to take more powers away from the second tier of government for themselves,we are being blinded by stupidity because they ( F.G) know we are stupid.

Fiscus105:
∆ I f its something that would beneficials to all, let him do the magic.
Those who wrote the constitution, the did so in good faith no knowing the govs would use it to balkanise the system

iLoveYouToo:
■ Clearly missing the point again, the statistics prove that governors are untouchable.

Fremodex:
Oga go and sit down, is it the one doing by govs is the best in history? INEC might not be 100% but it will be definitely be better that state INEC. You all are doing as if TINUBU will be president forever.

iLoveYouToo:
■ You can’t prosecute a sitting governor even if he’s caught on tape
■ Since 1999 Nigeria has produced at least 300 governors, how many have been impeached? School me here

SmartPolician:
■ It's not about who agreed or disagreed, but it's a fact. Look around you and see the opposition winning guber elections in several states.
■ On the other hand, RECs are willing tools in the hands of governors. Check 98% of LGA elections, the governor's party wins everything. It just goes to show lack of credibility.

yemre:
■ Is it not better...or you prefer the way governors trample on LGs and dictate how elections are conducted. They even decide which LG develops and which one doesn't!

jchioma:
Advance influencing of the system.

SmartPolician:
■ Federal INEC is 1 million times better than state RECs.
■ Truly, Tinubu understands politics but not a great technocrat.

iLoveYouToo:
■ There’s already a law prohibiting their prosecution while in power, add that to their money chest, how would you remove them from power?
■ They controlled LGs, the monarchs, and state assemblies too and can’t be impeached. Until recently they controlled state judiciaries too.
■ This LG autonomy ruling is akin to a factory reset. Let’s give it 12 months.

iLoveYouToo:
■ The #1 cause of underdevelopment in Nigeria is the governors, it surprises me how anyone would want to support them. They have been stealing LG funds since 1999. Some have consistently refused to conduct elections, accusing them of not knowing what to do with funds, yet turning around to loot those funds. In 12 years governorship would be scrapped, they should getat It’s better to empower 774 people than 36

iLoveYouToo:
■ FG couldn’t control 36 governors, it’s 774 chairmen they’ll now control right? Interesting 🤔
Leaving the governors helpless in what way? Are you a governor?

kole22k:
■ This is highly commendable, Tinubu will set this country on the part of success and greatness as he has promised, the country will experience rapid development after his administration, many constitution amendment are still coming,
■ regionalism is still on the way, it will be rolled out before the expiration of this administration, Tinubu is a God sent to this country, but many are blind to see this, God bless Tinubu, God bless federal republic of Nigerian.

BALLOSKI:
junkies!
What do you suggest they do? Leave it like that for the governors to decide to release funds to the LGs on their own?

VinnyBaba:
∆ This Bill if passed, is Far BETTER than Local govt Autonomy and New National anthem.
It means DULLLARDS like Buhari and Overhyped MISFITS like Tinibu WON'T rule for 8 yrs.

MossadAgent:
■ This is Nigeria. Tribes have been squabbling for power between each other the day the British left.
■ You trying to blame me for their failed power grab won't work
■ Rather it is you Obidient terrorists that are pushing an ethnic agenda under the guise of protesting hardship and demanding the President you hate because of his tribe to resign.
