Of course you are right on this point.

fergie001:
If you go to the first quote you mentioned, I explained there that there was no way the FG was going to win the case.

The FG by Executive fiat cannot seem to fund the items under the Jurisdiction of the States.

I referenced the Emperors in the 36 States because if things were to be done well, do they need the FG telling them to give other arms of Government what is due them?

GardenOfGod:
Are you then suggesting that the Supreme Court erred in their unanimous judgment?

Not at all...

It's a case of doing the Right thing the "wrong way" for Baba buhari

Nothing like Constitution in Nigeria, na do as you like and nothing will happen in as much you have money or power.

Na true

aribisala0:
How ? In what way was it bad? The issue is not whether that is a good thing to do but whether the President has the power to do it


The end does not always justify the means

What the president did with that order was to legislate.

He does not have the power to do that.

To achieve that objective which is not a bad one due process must be followed.

We cannot have the president making laws unilaterally

True. All he needs to do is to implement financial autonomy without making an executive order even though executive orders are legal

garfield1:
Buhari through that order gave the state assemblies and judiciary financial autonomy but the supreme court has nullified it

The question you should ask yourself is does buhari have that power?

adamsmith914:
States that can’t pay ordinary primary school teachers are paying judges?

The money is allocated but goes through the state government to the Judiciary, just like the Local Governments demand, let our money come directly to us.

Amend the construction. Not buhari behaving like an emperor giving stupid orders.

The court has answered us

What is stupid about the order? Governors are the one making stupid decisions and amending that section is impossible

Good.

That's order was stupid because it is unconstitutional.

So judiciary not having autonomy is not stupid

Go through the right channel. Two wrongs don't make a right.
