God bless you. As for me,LG financial autonomy is the greatest achievement of Tinubu's government if properly implemented
The gains of this autonomy can only be achieved if there are mechanisms that ensure transparency and accountability.
Re: Local Government Autonomy, Dapo Abiodun And Tinubu by DeLaRue:
[quote author=Zouze However, under what law or constitutional provision would Tinubu issue an executive order compelling state governors to make direct remittance of LGs? You don't issue executive orders without an enabling law empowering same.

You see, it's all talk right now. The only way out is constitutional amendment. The joint account created under S162(5) needs to be deleted. The Supreme Court judgement contained mere declarations.[/quote]You are wrong.

There is no need for a Constitutional amendment before the Supreme Court's position can be enforced.

The Supreme Court's position IS THE NEW LAW on the matter, and so, the President is required by the constitution to enforce the law, whether by Executive Order or otherwise.

The same Supreme Court you claimed only made a declaration has recently remonstrated and stated its displeasure at the lack of enforcement. DO YOU KNOW MORE THAN THE SUPREME COURT.

Whether or not you or I think any part of the Constitution needs to be amended is irrelevant.

If the Supreme Court has compelled the Federal government to do something, nobody, not even the President can resist on the ground that the constitution says this or that.

If the constitution says 1 + 1 is 2, but the Supreme Court determines that the answer is 3, then the correct answer for the time being is 3. Only the national assembly can pass a new law or amend the constitution to counter the Supreme courts position and until it does, the answer is 3 irrespective of what any professor of .mathematics thinks.

The Supreme Court is very powerful.

I personally don't believe the "Eleyi" can openly defy the President and Supreme Court! I think it's more of stupidity or perhaps at attempt to steal some bucks under the guise of purchasing those cars than defiance. Eleyi wouldn't want to dig his own grave!

I have mentioned that we don't need state governments. They are the major problem of Nigeria, let them be scrapped.
Re: Local Government Autonomy, Dapo Abiodun And Tinubu by Sheuns(m): 8:49am On Dec 26, 2025
The first step to address this LG issue is to make a law that mandates INEC to be the official electoral body for LG elections. Until then, we’ll keep running in circles.

These governors will never conduct a free and fair LG elections if the state electoral bodies are allowed to continue.

OK..... If LG can't submit individual accounts, then, they are weaklings.
Re: Local Government Autonomy, Dapo Abiodun And Tinubu by Zocalite: 9:47am On Dec 26, 2025
Not only abiodun

All governors don't want local government autonomy, and it's because all chairmen were put there by governors

......

Let elections of local government be on same day as governors and be conducted by inec

But tinubu will not do that, he will only be putting the cart before the horse

you Tinubu ' haters', you are just too M+U+M+U to know Nigeria is made up of36 federating units and Governors as the heads of the units. Don't youknow financial autonomy is a step in the right direction?Buhari couldn't get it and Tinubu succeeded in getting it. Any LG chairman that remits his monthly allocation back to the state Governor would definitely be a guest at EFCC office.

Obi will never be president.
With all that is happening, you really think Tinubu is presiding over Nigeria. Nigeria is on autopilot, bro.

.... Just as your life and your family's would be a direct version of how your candidate governed his State as a Governor . Can I hear a resounding Amen?

the local government chairs are equally as useless as they were. if the president is fighting and winning the battle, what has been their impact?
You can't see their yet, because all the governors haven't supported LG autonomy. They're still the ones controlling LG allocations. They refused to let LGs open their separate accounts till now.

your hate for tinubu isn't my business so please everybody with him wahala, if unna see tinubu supporters na headache for next na insult. I support Obi all the way, that don't mean I shouldn't have a clear mind and varying opinion. I'm never blind folded by my grudge.
The same reactions I always received whenever I criticised Tinubu's policies cheesy

This local government autonomy thing was done to fight opposition.
It will only be implemented in opposition states, hence governors are defecting.
I was surprised to hear tinubu telling apv governors to give lga their monies, i used to believe they had already started collecting from fg direct

The populace that are supposed to increase for independent local government administration are her here peddling hatred and bigotry against someone they can't match for the rest of their lives including their paymasters. Nigeria Move
