What I meant by nothing concern Tinubu is the reason I added that attachment. Nobody should be crying and calling Tinubu, Tinubu, Tinubu.............hold your governors accountable.
Now that your Yoruba brother is in power, all we hear is hold your governor accountable. Were there no governors to be held accountable during Goodluck Jonathan and Buhari?

Ondo governor will still not perform. Even if you increase his allocations to 1billion dollars.

.. a very useless and clueless governor.
Bros you made me laugh. But you are right o. With more money, we need more surveillances around governors because many of them worse pass demons o

I always ask them that question. Why they no longer say fish starts getting rotten from the head. That if we change the president, the other politicians including governors will not steal. This is why yorubas are well known to speak from double sides of the tongue

Tinubu appreciate and strengthen the naira.. make the naira to have value, address and tackle inflation , the high costs of living..if the naira is appreciated, strengthen and have value against the dollars..it will make the price of fuel, diesel cheap.. and reduce inflation and also reduce the high costs of living and increase the purchasing power of Nigerians and boost the economy..all this more money given to state governors that have immunity is just to enrich the governors the more and use majority of the money for their own personal use without much tangible projects or using the money for the benefits of the people in their states

This man knows how to get things done. It's high time we concentrate on Governors for once. They have enough resources at their disposal to deliver lasting change in their respective states.

They can initiate any feasible project, embark of empowerment schemes with ease.
If your governor is not performing hmmm
I genuinely feel for the people of Ogun State in all of this. Despite the substantial revenue and allocations the state receives, the level of development remains disappointingly low. Most inner roads are in terrible condition, and there seems to be little to no attention given to areas outside the capital. It’s a troubling situation.

Take a trip to places like Mowe, Ifo, Ibafo, Arigbawonwo, Ofada, and Erimerunmu — there’s hardly any visible impact from either the state or local governments. In fact, the presence of local governance is practically nonexistent.

Living in Ogun State really puts into perspective the kind of development Lagos State has achieved. One can only hope that the next administration in Ogun will adopt a governance model similar to Lagos, with a long-term development plan that successive governments can follow and build upon

With current increase in FAAC allocations through subsidy removal, that's going to be a windfall to the states.



I disagree with that part, any Governor that cannot deliver atleast 85% in his state, must be whisked away in EFCC's waiting van immediately after handing over.

-Kiss the truth!

Governors are not in charge of fiscal and monetary policy to affect the economy.

FG is responsible for such. Did you guys even study government in school ?

The mentality of this feeding bottle should stop. Let States go into full autonomy of resource control and pay tax to the FG.

Until there's full resource control by states as its supposed to be in a federating system, the development of this country will be stagnated.

Every achievement recorded will be at a snail spead.
,yes ..you are saying the truth..if there was full autonomy of resource control by the states..the uyo calabar itu high way road would had been rehabilitated, upgraded long time ago but still waiting for federal government to rehabilitate and upgrade the road...ibom deep seaport by now would had start working by now and creating jobs for the youths..if there was full autonomy for resources control by states but still waiting for federal government intervention on the ibom deep seaport..so all this waiting for federal government to intervene in a project delays development in the country

It's time to hold local government chairmen to account too. How many times have you heard any chairman complaint about not getting funds. Yet we see very little development

Ogun people are now claiming lagosians.

The state will continue to rot, becomes undeveloped and Non existent of infrastructure because the indigenes of ogun has abandoned their to answer lagosians.

At least you are been honest about the Bad situation in ogun state unlike your brothers who turn deaf ears and blind on bad governance in ogun.

Is the FG also in charge of the increased allocations the Governors collect as a result of the fiscal & monetary policies?.. Common sense not common.

This new strategy of squeezing money out of the struggling citizens via taxation and empowering state governors who have immunity is bound to fail. When the people complain, they simply mouth off "hold your governor accountable". Same governors who will be forgiven of all sins and embezzled funds as long as they decamp or are aligned with the party in power? Isn’t this what some sceptics against the subsidy removal have always feared will happen?
Are you suggesting that the FG should continue to borrow the in order to pay subsidy to a few because you fear that citizens may be unable to hold their state governors unaccountable?

Precisely. The dumbest talk here is the claim of some that Tinubu is giving Governors more money to loot. Simply senseless.

Ignorant talk. What you demand is the primary responsibility of the respective State houses of assembly not the FG. The FG's role is essentially related to promoting transparency not withholding funds or demanding "what they use the previous money for".

Majority of Nigerians are guided by sentiments, emotions and one prejudice or the other making them think and talk ignorantly. This is part of the reason we are not making progress as a nation.

You should task the "people" you speak on behalf of, beginning with yourself, to stop being lazy and get involved with what you assume is the responsibility of the FG.

They should take their leaders to task much better, and demand accountability, rather than flee to Lagos and Abuja to then be complaining about FG this and FG that in relation to the poor performance of their Governors.

The fiscal policies are perfect and okay. So what fiscal policies are you referring to? Don't just throw words around if you don't know what they mean

Just a good Stadium, he cannot renovate or build. Both Sunshine Stars and Sunshine Queens relegated under his watch. The teams were playing their home matches in Ijebu Ode because of the poor state of Akure Township Stadium, what a shame..

2027 is by the corner,so more money and much more money to governors and local government chairmen for vote buying,oil derivations is not spelt out and given to misexploited and misexplored communities,the reasonings of Presidency is more money and much more money to his coerced governors after recovering his investment of 2023 election through Hitech construction overbloated contracts.Well done,the only understanding is more and much money.

The minimum they should build is bus station. Some governor in the past collected allocation and stacked it in Pandora account, keep some in Fidelity bank where he has interest and keep the remaining in his warehouse
That thread and attached image reveals a lot about that dude's 8 years as the Governor of his State.
