Won't it fly becuase you don't expect YOUR own representative and senator to back it fully and lobby other federal lawmakers to ensure it passes and even override it when/if ebilokan refuses to assent the Bill?

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht

Lol who get that mind na him people still dey head rep I talk am say tinubu no feel leave yakubu there he go put a southern person there anything make am mistakenly leave yakubu there he is a gonner.

2015 Apc was so confident of winning even before the primaries, when buhari gives tinubu the privilege of picking a vice for him tinubu offer himself instead as vice but buhari and d cabals rejected it. cause ( tinubu) knows the inec chairman has already assured them of winning he just can't wait to be in power then. When rufai has the confidence of boosting the president is already out an agreement with yakubu and the northern elders are already in place. You see that peter obi he will gladly be Atiku vice when El - rufai communicate the information to him.
Infact obi will not even form an alliance with ADC if something has not been whisper to his ears he just want to contest the ADc presidential primaries let it not be in the eyes of Nigerians and obedients he didn't make an attempt to be number one before accepting number 2 position. Obi himself kw that he stand no chance with Atiku when it comes to winning presidential primaries Atiku is far too experience in that game than himself all what obi is just doing now is just eyes service to his supporters

What experience does any politician needs in winning primaries in Nigeria ?.. other than sharing thousands of dollars to delegates so they can win … or is that what you are calling experience?

Was the election rigged against GEJ or people voted against him?

tunjijones:
You guys are funny...

Nigeria wld have ended. No, Nigeria wld not have ended but Jonathan wld have being in jail now just like gbagbo of ivory coast.

Jonathan was the chairman of the African leaders that made sure gbagbo and his wife was sent to jail.

You are right to some extent … and he’s also right to some extent … Nigerian govt fear Niger Delta militants pass anything… you see that Oil .. they don’t want anything to touch it … so they wud have been careful in dealing with Jonathan… Nigeria na different countries in one … Nigeria nor be ivory coast

INEC should not be revenue generating. They offer a sacred service to Niberia which should be metered by solmn reverence of their roles as arbiter in a contest that shapes our present and future. It will be an error to distract the mandate of INEC with generating revenue. I think that we need incremental steps to these.

Digitize every process.

And you're good.

Teymanhenry:
INEC needs genuine independence, merit-based leadership selection, and financial autonomy through self-generated revenue or a direct federal budget allocation to ensure free and fair elections.

So those plenty videos of underaged kids in the not voting then looked like real voters to you

WhiteIverson:
Welcome development. The INEC should truly be an independent body.

Tinubu will not accept

Vixenn:
This VDM boy get level
He has been talking about this recently_ these ones just wake up

brother they re not implementing anything. Especially under Tinubu regime. It’s just a paper talk to convince and confuse gullible Nigerians they re working

He appointed Jega now and also settled the various state NECs through Diezane his petroleum minister to rig the election for him.

Nice move though long overdue

elitper:
Tinubu will not let it fly. And I hope the lawmakers are not trying to take that power for themselves, cos those tiffs are a thousand times more evil than the worst president we ever had.

yes if they take that power meaning someone like Tinubu will have to make double payment.
0ne for bribing them heavily to appoint his person. Second bribe is now the inec chairman himself

He will still influence it through the judicial council or AGF

Your first sentence really came to my mind before opening the thread.
Goodluck wanted to look nice to the Northerners. There’s no reason why he shouldn’t have changed Jega and replace him with a Southerner

Toothless legislature, who take these people serious again.

Read this again!
Nigerians have been complaining about how the INEC Chairman is recruited. The President has been doing this alone, but I am not sure there is anyone who wants to appoint his enemy as INEC Chair. It will be good to involve the NJC, provided the process is not manipulated, because neither the judiciary nor the Council is trusted anymore. I am not very hopeful this will make any difference, even if the constitutional amendment is successful,” Ojo said.

Always m9ving, they never stop moving...but at the end is nothing!

Tales by moonlight.

What then happens to all those put in place to ensure 2027 is a done deal?

They'll just drag this till the end of 2nd term then execute at the last minute if they sense imminent defeat or if at all.

I think this is just a waste of time. The best method is to just make their funding a first line charge, that way, anyone appointed will present his budget to the NASS and gets approval from them.
Then removal should be by simple majority of senate, and not two third, with the 50+1 rule, such can easily be removed in case of infractions.
Same system should be applied to Efcc, dss and npf

Another critical restructuring required is to remove the Legislature from the Federal budget.

As representatives of the people, the people should directly fund their representatives in the Senate and the House on an individual basis through taxes and levies so that they are accountable to the people who pay them rather than the Executive that fund them.

Each State and Local government will then decide the wages and emoluments of their representatives and monitor their performances to guarantee their interests are secured.

The way the present Legislative system is structured it only serves the interest of the President which amounts to a duplication of governmental structures. It has got that bad.

Seperation of powers, checks and balances, law making for public interest, supervision of governmental institutions are all out of the window simply because the wrong people pay them.

Hmmmmmmn... I laugh in Spanish. And you think this will fly under this administration?

Atarakpa:

A case of dominos. When one power is stripped all other institutions will clamour for liberty.

You think the Judiciary ordinarily likes the position they are in ass kissing the Executive for a meal. It is because they have been conquered and strangulated by the lack of democratic vigilance amongst the people.

When they see the benefits of just one institution operating independently all other institutions from security to legislative will press for theirs and with it the prisons of feudalism masquerading as democracy will be flung open.

The ignorance and fear amongst us citizens is just appalling. It is just sickening to imagine how an individual who was a businessman, a working class person, a civil servant, a person we all know will suddenly gets into office and people will begin to tremble at his feet within days of his assumption.

Is it witchcraft or what. What influence.

Murketeer:
You are right to some extent … and he’s also right to some extent … Nigerian govt fear Niger Delta militants pass anything… you see that Oil .. they don’t want anything to touch it … so they wud have been careful in dealing with Jonathan… Nigeria na different countries in one … Nigeria nor be ivory coast

Lol. Nigeria govt dey fear Niger Delta and Tinubu suspend them governor and did state of emergency in the state.

bionixs:
are you trying to say that with transparent free and fair system, your political master strategist can never win an election??

Of course that is what he is implying now... you think say dem dey ever reason free and fair election before? All this noise of them winning 2027 election is their trust in the rigging process. Which Nigerian in his right senses will leave his house on election day to go thumb print for APC with all the happenings in the country (ranging from insurgency to farmers herders clash and high cost of food/living to many others) if not only their party faithfuls and cohorts. I repeat it again, APC and Tinubu can NEVER win in a free and fair election... that's just the honest truth.

One of the reasons why the 1999 constitution must be repealed and reenacted is the absolute power given to the office of the President.

So must everyone do the wrong thing and expect a better Nigeria.
Where is the change that people where glamoring for?
Where is the renew hope that people hope for?
If GEJ had toe the part that some of u are accusing of will u not carry placard and protest for a better Nigeria?
Why some of u guys are blaming GEJ is because the change/renew hope doesn't favor u looking back u feel GEJ was a better option.

Stop blaming GEJ.
Let's keep pushing for a better Nigeria may be we will get it someday

I wonder why you are comparing the matter of a President and the situation of that time to that of Fubara … are they the same ?… Abeg make I rest , na argument you wan do

Story for the gods. May be after 8 years of our dear president as he knows what to do with power unlike Jonathan that relinquished power alarcate to APC. Tinubu can't do anything to trade off his power knowing that he came to power through rigging and has thrown Nigerians into poverty, hunger and death. If course Akpabio can never allow it see the light of the day.

sleek214:
Who will now appoint INEC CHAIR? Whether the president appoint or not, INEC Chairman will always be corrupt.....

Atiku has been contesting presidential primaries since 1993 obi on the other hand have never in his. Life contest any presidential primaries Lp ticket was giving to him so weda dollas atiku is too experience in primaries to obi
