∆Please put that constitution on here for all to see it as it's written. Is it a State constitution of a Federal Constitution?
Thanks.
Nevertheless that same constitution of the Federal Government of Nigeria disapproves of Caretaker Chairman to be appointed. We all know that the Constitution of the FRN supercedes all other constitution and everyone is expected to abide and adhere to it.

■ You could as well tell that to the Americans for voting biden and probably would again.....a Nigerian president has been elected as the best of the 3 candidates....simple!! You just keep eed rigmarolling in circles depicting your nuanced ego in trying to prove your intellectuality but that still doesn't negate the fact that tinubu was the best of the 3 candidates.

Lithiumite:
∆ If your analogy is zero achievement,the obi and atiku perfectly fits that bill....tinubu on the other hand is an achiever.....I just listed some of his legacy projects that are still enduring till this day and you decide to turn a blind eye just cos u are hate filled .....show us your own achievements in any guise or form......I still stick with my narrative that tinubu was the best of the 3 candidates we had in the last election.....you haven't in anyway been able to prove me wrong.

Chetas81:
what about those Nigerian citizen, who love to be slaves to the politicians, this are problem, what you mentioned is what they do in uk

Quest7777:
Nigerians can never unite in anything including to protest.
Why? Because ONE NIGERIA is a Scam.
Why? Because Nigerians owe more allegiance to Ethnicity than to Nationality.
Why? Because Nigeria is not a Nation but a forced Geographical Contraption of diverse ethnic Nationalities that are not ready to unite and function as one.
ONE NIGERIA remains is a Scam. Nobody including President Tinubu believes in One Nigeria.
Everybody is just out to grab from the centre and to satisfy his selfish or sectional interest.

ONLY THE NIGERIAN CITIZENS FEAR THE GOVERNMENT DEATHS, NOBODY WANT TO DIE, BUT SUFFERING

■ Why didn't RISIEC also get its funds the same way?
■ Who funds INEC? FG Who is in charge of the FG? What Governors do to the LGs can also be done to the Governors by the FG.

Mynd44:
Africans have to understand the difference between a protest and a riot.
When people storm parliamentary to beat up people, attempt to burn down the supreme court too.
it stopped being a protest and no matter how justified the protest us, the government will respond.

VillagePipu:
∆ The President can also refuse to fund INEC and Guber elections won't be conducted. Then, a caretaker Governor would be appointed for the state and then the Governor can go to court also.

justmondris:
■ What's normal? Nobody has the right to extend any elected leader tenure.

bixton:
■ I don't pick words and stick to one aspect of it. Mandate encompasses alot of things. If it's not done then there was no mandate. By the way the people never actually choose a leader.

man·date
/ˈmanˌdāt/

▶ an official order or commission to do something.
▶ the authority to carry out a policy or course of action, regarded as given by the electorate to a candidate or party that is victorious in an election.

■ Now let's just say if he bolded was to happen, this same people taking stand with the governors would be crying and shouting of abuse of power and failure in democracy.

bixton:
■ Speaking of mandate, I can't even remember when last it was the people actually have anyone mandate to serve!!! If we all understand what it means to be given such except we are just being theoretical!!!!

VillagePipu:
■ You've ended up dancing around the question without saying anything. If the Governor refuses to conduct LG elections, what happens? Simple question.

bixton:
■ Birds of the same feather...... The same way tenure of LGAC chairmen is unconstitutional likewise putting in place CareTaker Chairmen is unconstitutional..... That's how it is. The governor should not be speaking from both sides of their mouth and choosing what suits them. The issue in Rivers State was that the SHAM (State House Assembly Members) preinformed the Governor to conduct LG elections so that transition from one elected LG chairman to another is smooth but the governor chooses to go the old ways of selfish and greedy leaders. Can all the state governors conduct LG elections within 3 months of their swearing in to office rather than put Caretaker Chairmen till 7 years in office and do elections when their governorship administration is coming to an end?

Whalis:
Turn by turn

sholarcoding1:
i don't understand. How can any state house of assembly extend the tenure of elected officials. People supporting that are ignorant. If this happens it game over. Every elected official go kukuma dey extend tenures, governors, senators, HOR members and even president. And why extend for one year, just do 2 , 3, 4 ,5 ,6 ...8 years extension since everyone wan dey craze.

VillagePipu:
■ Very good. What then occurs to the LG when an election into the office to be declared vacant has not been conducted because the Governor has refused doing so?

politicoNG:
Speaking on the political upheaval in Rivers State based on the tenure of local government chairmen, the chairman of the Southern Governors Forum, Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, said it was unconstitutional for anybody to extend the tenure of constitutionally elected public servants.
He argued that the law is very clear on the tenure of elected officials, and when the tenure expires, there is no need to extend it by whatever means.
Speaking against the backdrop of the decision of the Rivers State House of Assembly to extend the tenure of the local government chairmen in the state, but which was refused by Governor Fubara, who then went ahead to appoint caretaker chairmen, Abiodun in an interview with a national television said it would be a dangerous precedent to extend the tenure of local government chairman.

I believe you Bro. It will be to prep the citizenry to support Tinubu 2027

He, therefore, said the memo on the new minimum wage was stepped down so that the President, Bola Tinubu could consult widely before a final submission is made to the National Assembly.
Meanwhile, the NLC official, who spoke to Daily Trust Tuesday night said the entire leadership of the two labour centres would meet and take a unanimous position before the President takes consultation to them.
“Even though we had a position already, we will meet tomorrow morning, (Wednesday) to fine-tune our position before we’re consulted. It is important for us,” the top official said anonymously because he wasn’t authorised to speak to the media.
Members of the organised labour had earlier this month paralysed economic activities of the country with its indefinite strike that lasted only two days which declared to press home their demands on minimum wage.

PUNANI01:
See this one,who opened the cage for you? Kenya had been showing you people how to deal with govt and you're here chest beating and ranting.

I have said it before and I'm saying it now, New minimum wage will be ready in 2026 August.

■ Lekki development was started by whom,the deep sea port,the curbing of the ocean surge,the re building of the access roads on the Lagos island,rrs, millennium schools,the improved IGR of Lagos state even without allocation for local govts he was still able to run the state,brt to mention but a few.....atiku on the other hand has never been tested at leadership level and we all know how it went when he was vice president.....obi on the other hand can still not be compared to tinubu when you place their achievements and legacies side by side.....I would appreciate if you could lay some of obi's legacies perhaps I might be willing to have a rethink

Lithiumite:
∆ Keep playing the ostrich,the first paragraph laid you bare as an irredeemable hater.good luck in your tomfoolery....I can't help you.
I am an ardent supporter of restructuring and tinubu has always been a proponent of that as against any of the other two....that for me is to priority every other thing is secondary

Lithiumite:
■ You can decide to pitch your tent wherever you like but you just illuminated my initial point that tinubu was the best of the 3 when you compare his legacies with that of Obi not to even mention atiku....they were both governors for 8 years and we know which ones legacy still exists and even 3 govs I believe are far more informed and better placed to lay facts bare after him still alludes to that fact.
■ On the national scale I believe it's a different kettle of fish and his performance has been quite discouraging but I did would like to cut him some slack as he has made some policies that looks good going forward..... heaping the entire gamut of our woes on tinubu to me is grossly a misrepresentation of facts and totally unfair.

■ I was in Onitsha in 2010 for 3 months when obi was governor.....I stayed on awada road obosi and our office was 10 otigba str Onitsha GRA.....our project was Onitsha main market and it was a pilot project for paying fiber cables within the market and having a telecommunication network for the market with security surveillance with CCTV cameras......Onitsha was the most unsecured city I had ever been.....by 8 pm the entire streets were deserted and residents feared to throng outside past 9pm at the latest,Onitsha was dirty and there was hooliganism on another level that I never saw before in Lagos..... looking across the Niger at night,asaba was like America compared to Onitsha....the streets were well lit all the way from okpanam upto the bridge head while Onitsha was peach dark.
Anambra vigilante service were in existence then and we're feared for their extra judicial measures....Onitsha was a big mess and is still is....obi was the governor at the time!!
Obi had the opportunity to transform Onitsha to a modern mega city or at least lay the foundation for it but he failed even at getting the right successor he was abysmal at that too.
