NoFinancial Autonomy for LGAs: See how they voted. 7, including Rivers State abstained.

All the states whose demigods subscribe to anti-democratic norms and processes are all opposing liberalisation of government to enhance separation of powers to enhance good governance.

Until the legislative arm of Government is designed to attract true compatriots, we are to continue having individual centered legislation which will do a little or no favor to the overall wellbeing of the entire populace.

Watching stuff, that's what I'm doing.

They deliberately left out Jos North LGA of Plateau state?

Jos North wasn't up.

Barkin Ladi was up but failed at the Senate and House of Reps stages.

Newphil:
Amendment 12 and 13 on point

Same for me, Governors won't have excuses.

They have no excuse for not investing in having their states enjoy 24hrs electricity by getting reputable investors.

Amendment 13 is the real deal

Ameendment 13 is the real deal

Okay
