BERNIMOORE:
The National AssemblyMoves Bill To Grant INEC Authority To Conduct LG Election and rather than state electoral bodies at the plenary. This move follows a recent Supreme Court ruling granting autonomy to local government areas, prompted by a federal government lawsuit.

Ebigwei007:

■ I culled when Lagos State did theirs, the link is further down. Local Government would have been far better if not for this polithiefcians. How can 36 people in person of governors hold 200 million Nigerians to Ransome. This nonsense must stop.
■ It is therefore in line with this Constitutional Provision that the Lagos State House of Assembly established the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) through Law No. 15 of November 27, 2001.The Commission was consequently inaugurated on 22nd January, 2002 by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the then Governor of Lagos State.
The Commission at inception, operated at the Women Development Centre, Agege and the Lagos State School of Nursing and Mid-wifery, Ikoyi, before it relocated to its present headquarters at 2, Birrel Avenue, Sabo-Yaba, on Monday, 15th April, 2002. https://lasiec.lagosstate.gov.ng/

Anguldi:
Tinubu has been a better democrat right from inception. Now I understand why James ibori fired from all pots against local government autonomy. Very wicked man I can remember 1998 December local government elections held by INEC. Things should return to status quo

Kobojunkie:
1. Is it better than to have one corrupt person and party holding the entire nation to ransom at pretty much all 3-tiers of the Government? Last I checked, the FG has been accused of doing the same using INEC for, almost all 25 years of this democracy. So, I don't see how it makes sense to now hand LG elections directly into the hands of the same FG.

2. Yes, every state in Nigeria is meant to have a SIEC commission. That oversees state-level elections similarly to INEC at the national level.
