They say if you don't have an answer to a question you can always ask. I throw this question to politicians,people of high intellect and those who understand our constitution. In the 36 states in Nigeria we have chairmen and councillors and they serve a 3 year term before they go for re-election.But in Lagos State under the administration of Gov Ambode it was said that the tenure of the chairmen & the councilors were increased to 4 years by the lagos state assembly.I know Lagos state has 20 local government areas and they created another 37 local government development areas which brings the total to 57. Do the lagos state assembly or any state assembly have the right or power to increase the tenure of these offices without the intervention of the national assembly.Would it not make more sense for the bill to be passed in the federal house since the local government are funded with money from the federal coffers. Even the 37 newly created Local Government Council Developments Areas are not recognized by the federal government.So once money is sent to 20 lga's that is recognized by the federal government,the 20 lga's now share it with the 37 lcda's.Then again the lcda's can even be 5 years or as long as they want because they are not recognized by the federal government and were created by the state.If we do not look into this, another state assembly can wake up tomorrow and increase the tenure of its governor.As you know our judiciary is a shadow of itself at the moment.

Lagos is in a league of her own.

Yes, State can legislate on matters relating to Local Govts , that is why elections are conducted by State Electoral body.

Lagos before Nigeria, Lagos after dissolution of Nigeria.

Sorry i dont get you

Overrated Lagos

That will show you how proactive Lagos state is since Tinubu Tenor .state legislature can create as many as possible area council to make people to have more access to government's development .Obasanjo & Tinubu went to court in respect of this which Lagos state won on the grand that when his state did not enforce payment of additional allocations for the created area councils from the federal government.

ok
