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.

so will they have immunity same as the governors?

Immunity is a benefit of office, not a right, and only the President, Vice President, Governor, and Deputy Governors enjoy that benefit while in office. Once impeached or their term expires, they no longer have that benefit and can be arrested and prosecuted.

Ebigwei007:
so you want to tell me that LG is now important that that of a governor?

Yes, in democracy not by hand picking caretaker. To get power, Governors must lobby chairmen and president must lobby governors and LG. It was Obasanjo that reversed the system backwards. Now we are going to the right democratic system.

Kobojunkie:

I can see. your level of reasoning is proportional to you age and level. When LG election started proper. Then you can learn politics and understand.

lexy2014:
If it isn't, then it can't be done. It does not necessarily need to be in the constitution for it to be done. All that is required is a bill passed into law granting states the powers to conduct LG elections. And there is a law to that effect

Okay

[quote author=lexy2014 post=131013998]You can look up section 197 of the constitution. It is in the constitution [/quote
Okay

thatigboman:
noo, it was INEC that conducted local govt elections in 1999

That's true. I remember

We should allow the inec from your father conduct it na ?!

Same inec under yakubu right??

Good Evening Fergie001..

..
Something is still not feeling so right about the INEC’s “Regulations and Guidelines”.

Please put me through on this..

I am of the Opinion that the INEC should totally expunge Clause-48(c) and Clause-93 from their INEC’s “Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Election - 2022”.

These clauses are totally contradicting the Section:64(6a,6b,6c,6d) of the Electoral-Act-2022 which had already solved the same problem which these clauses are supposed to be solving in another way.

The Electoral-Act-2022 didn't in any place mention that the collation of any of the missing lower-level results (whether Polling-unit Results or Collated Results) should be done with the Police Copies or with the Party-Agents Copies.

The Electoral-Act-2022 made it sacrosanct that wherever the BVAS wasn't used, then it is assumed that no elections took place at that polling-unit. And if the hard-copy of the polling-unit results are missing, then the results inside the BVAS (as directly transmitted) can be used for collation, and if there are no results inside the BVAS, THEN THERE WON'T BE OTHER FURTHER ALTERNATIVES..

The Clause-48(c) and Clause-93 of the INEC’s “Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Election - 2022” ended up invalidating the COMPULSORY and MANDATORY use of the BVAS -- as described inside the Electoral-Act-2022.


I wonder why the INEC’s “Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Election - 2022” had to try to solve the same situation in a way that contradicts the “Electoral-Act-2022”.


Is there a way to Get the INEC to quickly remove those two HARMFUL CLAUSES from their INEC’s “Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Election - 2022”

Excellent development

THAT'S PATCHING REPAIRS. RETURN FULL AUTONOMOUS ELECTIONEERING AUTHORITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO OUR 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES AND THEY CAN HANDLE STATE LEGISLATURE, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, GOVERNORS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS BY THEMSELVES.

You are very correct.

However, don't forget that, in politics, loyalty will still play out so as to be in the good books of the movers and shakers right from the top.

Therefore, the fed. govt can decide not to get involved but one way or the other, homage will, most likely, be paid. trust us!

Ebigwei007:
the only way it will be better, is when the fed. Govt. Itself shouldnt be involve with the LGA

It still doesnt take away the fact that it would spur development in the grassroot.

This is because the citizens have better relationship with their leaders at the grassroot level and it would be easier to call them to account or get them reported (if they are not ready to perform after the information of the allocation received gets to the public domain). Unlike the bureaucracies of getting to see or complain to the president.

For instance, President Tinubu will not come from Abuja to see to infrastructural development in your village. It is the duty of the local government chairman who is probably closer to the people.

Kobojunkie:
Both options are terrible. Nigerians would rather have a system where the Governors are punished for usurping power and control, along with embezzling public funds. These are acts that violate the very Constitution. So, simply brushing that under the carpet to instead push power into the hands of FG creating a bigger power imbalance in the federation goes against democracy — it is illegal since the Constitution would need to be tampered with to make that happen.

1. Wrong!

2. The Constitution has always been clear on whose responsibility it is to deal with development at the village level though.
