Nigeria will be great again. The era of selection instead of election will soon be over. An era where any competent Nigerian can win election in the council without the annoniting of a state governor.

Its finish already, nw the fed can nw becum lord of all, they will control the LGA's directly, leavinging the governors helpless

MT:
Do you guys even understand what you typed at all?

So, you are okay when the Governors manipulate the state electoral officers to rig his party in in all the local government?

What do you mean by leaving the "governors helpless" ?

This internet has allowed all sort of people to air their silly opinion.

BERNIMOORE:
I am sure that you are not in tune with the fact that fubara hands are tied right now, he plans to conduct election to LG in october but just Today he was barred from conducting state cogresses...you miss this part... https://www.nairaland.com/8156098/court-bars-pdp-conducting-congress

seanfer:
Will you say the Governors conducting the LGA election has don the country more good than when INEC was conducting it for decades?

seanfer:
The constitution was ammended by OBJ led FG.
In 1998 INEC Conducted the LGA elections in all the 774 LGA on December 5 1998.
You can read more about this online.

MyMouth:
So it's not even a constitutional thing?

Zooposki:
State LG Govt joint account does not mean State and LG money together in one account. The federal government will be the one paying into the state LG joint account and not the State government.

Ndistar:
That is their intention,its going back to unitary system.it means the president will now have so much powers.

ITbomb:
If Tinubu can bypass the 2/3rd and change a national statue (anthem) which should be changed only through a constitutional amendment
And also
Bypass the 2/3rd and remove State LG Joint Account from the constitution through a court ruling

There's nothing more he cannot do

We are in animal farm, don't be surprised when you wake up tomorrow and see another underground change in the constitution

ITbomb:
The only way to adjust the constitution is to amend it or change it.

The federal government do not pay any money to anyone.

The States and FG both agreed the calculation, sign and share money from the federation account.

Laws are not change by court ruling based on sentiment.
That's why America is great because the constitution is supreme and Nigeria can never be

When you get time, read No. 5 below on how money is shared

You are pathetically dumb.
Simple read and comprehend you can't.
It was fubara camp that stopped the state Congress. And you are posting link that speaks against your own argument.

IfnobeGod20:
No doubt the ruling was good and the intent was good but I am surprise that people that suppose to talk kept mum and those that talked gaslighted and behave as if nothing happened.
I was surprised that the supreme court have Turned themselves to lawmakers and no more interpreter of laws. Ruling that the allocation of the local government council should be sent to them directly is totally anti constitution because know where in the constitution that prescribed that. The allocation to the local government and state are to be disbursed to the state joint local government account section 162 subsection 6 very explicit.
I know Nigeria is a constitutional country and ruling should be based on the existing laws and not back door ruling as done in this ruling of local government administration finance.
I read that the Adamawa state governor has gone to supreme court for the interpretation of section 162. I will keep tab to hear from them.

Shantyken:
∆ Storyland to you but for others is true

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

Kobojunkie:
Does it occur to you that the reason why elections are shoddy at the State level has to do with the fact that INEC, the superior commission to the State commission, has a track record that leaves a lot to be questioned and so cannot even be called on to ensure elections at the state level are done to the book?

Fremodex:
Things have changed. Election if conducted by the INEC with the use of IREV and the likes. It will be difficult to rig but not impossible though.

Kobojunkie:
The last election was conducted using the IREV, so how did that go? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fremodex:
If it was total rig the likes of otti will not win. Yes quote me anywhere.

Kobojunkie:
Oh, a partial rig is oK, abi?

Fremodex:
All am saying is, all can not be influenced.

phemray:
Jagaban the master strategist, he used governors to get the 1st term by codedly instigated the popular power must Shift to the south meeting held at Delta state. Now he will surely get this Complete LG autonomy and Inec will conduct elections. He will pump money to LG for development and he will be celebrated. they will be ok for his 2ND term. Now the governors will depend on LG chairman to win elections.

Ebigwei007:
then you will see that governors have powers

phemray:
Oga, hope you have witnessed Local government elections before? If chairmanship is made independent, The governorship election results depends on the local government chairman if he likes you or not. It's not just starting today. LG election used to be very powerful. Jagaban love grassroot. See Lagos.

Kobojunkie:
You cannot make up your own truth. It does not work that way.
