What can a President do if the state Governors has sworn to the devil that they would loot both the State and Local Government funds at their disposal.

Can Obi stop it. Just thinking aloud because I remember he Obi during his 8 years of Governor did not conduct a LG election.

How does a president stop a Governor from appointing 1000 special assistants.

In Yoruba language there is a saying “ apa kin se ole” which literally means a big spender is not a theif. Instead of buying a $10.00 shoe you choose to buy a $1000.00 shoe with state funds. Is that theft?

Let us discuss

Why not first discuss how Tinubu can solve the problem as a sitting President? Why is Obi the main character in every national discuss of late. Any President that knows his onions can drastically reduced corruption at the State levels but he that goes to equity MUST do so with clean hands.

I am expecting the magic.The common wealth that belong to one million people is been held by an individual in this political dispensation. The current Government is a joke. What is it going to achieve in Four years that it's suppose to be there for Eight years. PROPAGANDA.

Decentralize power/responsibilities. Let the local govt be in charge of collecting taxes. The fg/sg should hands off running schools/universities, hospitals, maintaining roads, security as much as possible. Anyone who is not okay with services can easily go to the local govt office to face the local govt chair instead of shouting tinubu from ariaria or idumota market.

State Governors are independently elected. There is no instrument for a sitting president to control the Governor. The problem with people like you is your obsession with the centre while closing your eyes to what your Governor does with his funds.

At least OBJ during his time would bribe d state legislators to impeach the Governor. That was how Fayose was impeached.

Which Government are talking off. Because as far as I am concerned there are 36 Governments in Nigeria and another 776 mini Governments. So which government is responsible for any pain in your life.

I agree with you. FG should hands off FG Unity Schools, FG University all these should be under LG control.

It's part of the culture ... In Africa . A continent with all the resources but lacks sound minds to use them to full potential.

A continent with crab mentality, where if you innovate and create something that is helpful to the continent you will need to fight a flood of saboteurs on all levels .

I would say it's a Nigerian problem but ... It's the same anywhere black are GLOBALLY

Only insecurity is the one that is not under a Governor purview. The rest is actually under d Governor’s purview since the states are the ones with the land. A serious Govenor should have hectares of farmlands criss crossing their states hence there would be plenty of food pushing down inflation.

Once there is too much there would be enough to export thereby strengthen the Naira. Exchange wahala sorted.

Production is down to state governments to provide enabling environment where private people can set shops and companies engaging in meaningful production. Production sorted, chikena!!!

A president can stop corrupt governors from emerging by conducting free, fair and credible elections.

The system will not allow criminals to be governors if it is credible and transparent because the people know the criminal aspirants

Is a President a soothsayer to know a would be Governor would be a looter. For example Osun State Adeleke won fair and square but if it happens he starts looting through frivolous schemes like appointing 10000 SA no president can stop that.

Won't they seek reelection? If the process of electing these governor is credibke, they can easily be fired by the people.

They're looting because they know that they can easily rig the elections

Governors have immunity until the Governor is out of office. So at d moment your so called anti corruption agencies can only hold fire until such a time it is possible to apprehend.

Governors do not steal money directly. They work with states accountant general and other civil service staff.

If the previous governors were prosecuted, others coming will run away from corruption.
We pretend to fight corruption but we're really not fighting corruption, just few political opponents

They normally conduct their ingenious schemes in their second term. If you see the flyovers and under pass built by Fintiri in his first term you will say oh boy this is the best thing since slice bread.

Face it your Governor has spent one year in office. How many industrial farm settlements has he opened. At least we see the things Tinubu is doing.

When Obi becomes president 2027, these excuses wont arise. You'll see how corrupt politicians will be dealt with

Stop making Obi look like a messiah, a man that could not carry out a simple task as conducting a LG elections. Not to talk of his aides caught with 250 million in Lagos on their way to some beaureu de change.
