Serious question. I'm having this discussion and i want to clarify,

In Nigerian politics, who has more influence/power and access to more funds

also, what is the usual career progression:

- LGA chairman > H.O.A. member/Commissioner?
- H.O.A. member > LGA chairman/Commissioner?
- can a commissioner after his tenure, contest for LGA chairman/HOA?

Commissioner

PrinxArthur1:
Commissioner

okay thanks for your input

hmmm you wan contest?

Lg chairman is more powerful than a commissioner. A lg chairman is the governor of his lg with both fg allocation and internal revenue. the lg also matters.

someone brought this up in our discussion but i also showed him instances where governors easily remove LG chairman unanimously and even HOA members easily remove them. i know its all illegal but it happens

1. Commissioner of finance, local government are more powerful than any HOA member or Chairman.


2. HOA member is the second must powerful

3. Chairman is economically powerful (if there is no joint account with the state govt).

If u want to be independent go for HOA member. (Governor can sack any Commissioner at will, in some cases even local govt chairman)

NB: A friend of mine left his position in the state house of assembly and became Chairman which he regret later as a result of joint account.
