EmeeNaka:The spirit of the law is only important when there is ambiguity and/or ambivalence in the letter of the law but this is not the case. The constitution is clear and any interpretation that contradicts the clear letter of the law is an usurpation of power from the legislature by the supreme court. The judiciary should interpret the law and not make laws. If we are dissatisfied with the current laws, then the constitution and/or laws should be amended by the legislature. In the presidential system of government, there are 3 arms of government with distinct non-overlapping roles, but in the Nigerian version, there is only one arm with two fingers 2 Likes |

Ibori is a fool. Whenever Tinubu and his government do something good I applaud them. This is a commendable job by Tinubu's government, I applaud him. Please they should mandate INEC to fix a date to conduct LGA elections in all the 36 states to elect LGA Chairmen and Counselors asap. 2 Likes |

lekonso:YES you wait till the law is amended cos that is how the system is supposed to work! If you dont like how quickly the law is being amended, you take it up with your lawmakers. Abi Supreme Court justices are now lawmakers? So if Supreme court rules that Tinubu (or any other president) should be life president and his/her son should inherit what is left of his term when he/she dies, you go agree? All these people championing for LG 'autonomy', didnt some of same people also pilfer when they were governors? If the governors are pilfering LGA funds why havent they been charged to court? Abi what is EFCC meant for? |

Are you obidient or you just do not want to make use of your brain ? From Ibori write he claim the FG should be paying LG directly. Now if the FG isn't paying the third tier of government directly who should be paying them ?! The state government that as been looting their funds since 1999 ? Many of you no even understand what reasoning is so how can reason like a rationale being ?! Ask yourself if this was the UK USA France Canada which you all claim you want Nigeria to be like, what will be the judgement of their court bennybuhari: 1 Like |

In the coming days, we will begin to fully understand the implications of the Supreme Court decision. An assault on the constitution is not the answer to fiddling with the Joint LG Acount. If the ruling is saying Governors cannot temper, touch, fiddle with the Joint Accounts, that’s fine because they shouldn’t be doing that in the first place. But asking the Federal Government to pay Local Governments allocations to the account of the Local Government directly is utter madness: why is it utter madness dem go loot am? 1 Like |

DeOTR:LGs are not indepedent from the states. The constitution puts them under the administration of the states. Go and read section 7 very well. That does not mean you can't hold them accountable BUT they are under the administration of the state. |

EmeeNaka: It is not up to the Supreme Court to form a third tier of government, that obligation is up to the people to decide through a referendum. |

softtorce: You don't get it, almost all the states in Nigeria don't elect LG chairmen, they appoint and oversee everything, now if they refuse to elect, the percentage that should go to LG will remain with federal and because federal owns the account federal will control who gets elected. |

franchasofficia: I agree with your submissions,bro. It's not that the Governors in Nigeria are not aware that they are illegally doing the Wrong things,with the Local Govt Funds being highjacked but like so many Other -Illegalities, Unfair and Injustice,they think,it's going to continue for ever. •The Supreme Court - should take a defiance Position on any Governor in Nigeria that violated this Law, should be removed from Office. That is the ONLY measure to set a blunt messages to the Governors. •The Local Governments too, should be Transparent and Accountable to the Grassroots at all times- by rendering the Accounts of Money and Resources at their disposal,promptly and reduce tensions between it and the State governments. |

See them foolish Nigerians. Tinubu knew every governor can perform without LG fund n left LG fund to LG chairman in Lagos, this is why chairmen were able to support the governor in building projects. Now just imagine if LG were to act as just conduit pipe to steal is 774 not beta stealing than just 34 and that is the worse case scenario, so whether Tinubu is doing this for ulterior motive or not this is the right way to go for Nigerians. Even the two of you miserable souls know this but because of hate for Tinubu you'd rather sacfrice what will beta the lot of millions of Nigerians including yourselves due to hate n later start wailing in the future about devolution of power.

Fiscus105:It's not about wrong or right or love or hate? But are you implying that true federalism is wrong? Two wrongs do not make a right. The SC clearly committed an abomination by summarily taking over the responsibility of the legislature The fact still remains that the LGs by our law are supposed to be funded from the state account and not directly from the federal account. The full ramifications of this misnomer will be seen soon. It is now too obvious that our judiciary is dancing to some peculiar tunes. This has never happened in the history of our country that the judiciary will be amending the constitution 1 Like |

Ojuntana:The fact that a convicted thief is closer to Tifnubu is even more apauling, you cannot separate Ibori from anything politics and him being a convicted crook, he was jailed because of his looted funds in politics. |

Abagworo: You are one of the few smart persons here. The Judiciary has been bought off for peanuts by the Tinubu admin, the plan is to put a financial stranglehold on the state governors starting with Rivers state, but this will fail. The constitution on this matter is as clear as day light. This also goes further to show that most of the rulings by the apex court were already decided behind closed doors. |
