It is vice versa, we have working governors and we also have non working governors, so at d LG you will still see good ones and bad ones, so they need to hold the LG chairmen accountable

Lokostar01:
You can do something because they are not covered by immunity they can be picked up by efcc, even if they are going to embezzle the money they can not do it alone that way the money trickles down to local people, most governors don't give a damn about some local government. Let me give an example of Kaduna state I am when the immediate past governor came he told them he is interested in urban renewal so he only concentrate on about 5 local government and denied the rest government projects. So understand the importance of LG autonomy

Ogbeni, A Nigerian Politician is a Nigerian Politician.

Autonomy or no Autonomy, a LG Chairman that wants to Loot and Misbehave will still do so.

Go and watch how Naija University SUG guys behave to see the true Nature of a Nigerian Politicians.

Mynd44 Fergie001. You deleted others and allowed this one that called a fellow Nairaland Headless mob?

He is saying the truth,the federal government have no business with the local government whatsoever,the supreme Court erred seriously in their judgement and they showed their ignorance once more.

Fayemi is Right.

Ex Gov James Ibori also dropped this same Point that it is Unconstitutional,
but here many were Attacking him due to Ignorance and his Past.

When issues of importance is being mentioned, don't mention a looter and an ex convict please.
When the autonomy was not granted under their tenure, what was the achievement?

You see, you people enjoy the loot, only shouting restructuring, end hunger etc You are hungry but print shirt for 6,000.
So dishonest in all you people are doing

This man must be deranged! Power drunk fool!

Do I know you??

blacknp:
No wonder you are suffering, just another confirmation of an incoherent oblivious mindset, Jehovah should punish the president of your country, but you do not expect that same punishment to affect a hungry peasant subject to the president?

You did worst to good luck Jonathan...God will punish and disgrace Tinubu, if your destiny is tied to him, it's none of my business

Fayemi may be right theoretically. But practically, LGs are being starved of funds and development in Nigeria. Hence, the need for LG autonomy.

Those countries that Fayemi is comparing Nigeria with, institutions are working efficiently and effectively. But in Naija, even the democracy we practice is crooked.

kingbee90:

I have said it before that the implementation of this bill would be a problem & governors will fight back.
How would the poor states cope?
Walahi! If all the 36 governors cook for Tinubu, can he be able to finish the food?
Mr. Fayemi, I hope you tell this to Agbadorians who were jubilating, thinking the bill was passed because of Rivers crisis.
You can speak yoruba to them since most of them don't comprehend & understand English.

Igbo youth and foolishness!

See comment like poo

Those countries mentioned have patriotic leaders. Leaders that have the interest of the nation at heart not the kind we have here in Nigeria. So we will do it our own way. I keep saying it our constitution follow join for the problem we have in this country. This kind constitution no be for people with dark minds

blacknp:
By their words you shall know them, this is how you know the cyberfits that don’t know anything,

Please mention the bill that was passed because of Rivers State crisis?

You don't know how foolish biafran youth could be 😆

How does the bill even favour wike against Fubara?

Bitter truth.

Oloriburuku Oloshi somebody. Na Ogun go kee una Mama. Tinubu don retire the idiot

An Nigerians are about to retire Tinubu your Lord and person savior.

You can crown him your life president if you like.

Maazieze:
the guy is a stooge, LGA autonomy is paramount to local development, state governor powers should be limited

Was this not same Fayemi bragging that he wants to to be a President of Nigeria,so what happens that he is chewing his words now?
So, Local Govt is no longer part of the Federation,in a Democracy,abi? Or you just want to be relevant?
Even,if it was not working because of the human elements,does that makes it right, because we Nigerians always look for ways and means - not to allow laws to functions - always looking for how to play a sabotage!
When you see all this Politicians on the podium, speaking Grammar and some gaulibles audiences are always in their defense,just take a race!
So, assuming this man was in the System,he would just be deceiving the Ekiti,with Lip-service and Monumental lies,on LG,na wa o!

The worst Governor in the history of Ekiti State. History will be unkind to him

frog12:
It is now up to the state to determine whether it wants to have 20 counties, or 50 or 200 local authorities based on its own local needs. This is a misnomer, it does not happen anywhere in the world:

NASS go balloon up

but Tinubu did it it 2005 in Lagos

politicoNG:
https://tribuneonlineng.com/local-govt-autonomy-misnomer-not-going-to-work-fayemi/

So this Fayemi is an idiot. I lost my respect for him today.

Nigeria politicians always quick to reference foreign countries when it suits them. Do Governors behave in the way they do abroad? Do Governors have broad powers? Do Governors earn security votes which they do not have to account for? Can Governors flout the order of the Supreme Court Justices abroad even if the judgement doesn't suit them?

Fayemi should have donned the garb of the supreme justices to interprete the law for us. What lessons was he passing to the coming generations? For them to disregard the rule of law?

Stupid and lawless people in power! I have said it many times here , Governors are our problems in this country and not the president.

Maliqcious:
but Tinubu did it it 2005 in Lagos

And he was not funded by the FG. He looked for a way to fund the LCDA himself .

Selfish and greedy man.. local government autonomy will work.... when you and the state governors through joint account were diverting local government funds to your private bank account to enrich yourselves and enjoying the loot you did not complain...you diverted and embezzled their money and abandon the poor people in the village communities to lavish in poverty hunger economic hardship and underdevelopment

Tinubu just frame himself up without knowing thinking he can from the center control the local government and he will weaken the power of the govenors. This guys can never dodge the influence of the state governors they may have The money but other things will hook them and that is where the governors will love to show their muscles.

that's what I told a friend, average Nigerian politicians are criminally intelligent. Local government autonomy or not if Nigeria JUDICIARY is not REFORM, INDEPENDENT and corrupt free. Nothing good will come out from local government autonomy than to increase crime rate.

Another dunce sighted.

What about Section 7 and Schedule IV? Well, your type can't know.
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Fourth Schedule. Functions of a Local Government Council is explicitly highlighted. Governors simply wants al power to themselves. Why are there LGs allocation, or should that be scrapped too, then the money solely given to States, then States can choose to do as they wish, either create LCDAs as they wish instead of LGs. Lagos has 27 LCDAs, 20 LGs...the LCDAs are not the headache of Federal Govt, the State can choose to do what they dim fit with it.
US does not run a LGs system. The India that the were mentioned runs an operational LGs system. Then each State creates more as they wish which are not recognised federally but by the State.

Local government in India - Check Wikipedia
India is a federal republic with three spheres of government: union, state and local. The 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments give recognition and protection to local governments and in addition each state has its own local government legislation.

Don't be a dunce to be quick to believe politicans and their lies. He is still a beneficiary of LGs allocation from the State as a former governor. They have shared the proceeds of LGs for life to themselves.

You don't even understand the topic but reduce everything to Tribalism.


NO BILL WAS PASSED.

What happened was that the FG took the States to Supreme Court
1) To stop allow 774 Local Governments get their allocations directly with the Governors taking the lion share of it or even getting part of it.

2) To stop the use of unelected care taker committees in Local Governments Administration

3) The matter predated Wike VsFubara rofo rofo fights

in Rivers

4) Nothing concern Yorubas with Rivers Politics

Different people are giving their opinions on the Court Judgement, which is normal in a democracy.
