The Beginning of the whole thing :
The Nigerian government had filed a suit at the Supreme Court against governors of the 36 states.

In the suit, the Federal Government is seeking full autonomy for the country’s 774 local governments.

The Federal Government also requested the Supreme Court to authorise the direct transfer of funds from the federation account to local governments — by the constitution.


This will be a good judgement for the Local Government as long as the Logal Government chairmen/women ain't thieves and rogues like their bosses.

Slow and steady we will get to the land flowing with milk and honey with barbecue 😋.

Anything to move our Darling country forward in all ramifications is what we want at MANNA.

INEC must start conducting free and fair elections from the local government. There should be a ban on politicians that uses violence to win Election. It must be free and fair and that is the only way the people can enjoy development

I’m very much in support of local government autonomy. Governance should be localised from the grassroots, way up.

LG autonomy incoming.

Electricity amendment bill signed, so states and local government can generate their electricity

Next incoming should be state policing!

Federal police should be converted to an agency, like the FBI in USA. They will rein in on the excesses of state police’ abuse of power, act as linchpin between states, and protect Nigeria from organised crime.

I'm predicting a win for the governors. The FG intentions are good but the constitution is clear on the matter. It needs to be amended. Any APC governor against it will have to be ousted in the primary.

What of the VAT case in the supreme courts for years now

Curtail the influence of state governors please. The governors use local government funds to build vainglory structures in the state capital; while rest of the state recede to preindependence level of development.

Let the Local Government breathe 😞

Ebubu2:
Local government autonomy will ensure that money flows in rural areas which is what we need to ensure drastic poverty alleviation. As against when money used to flow only in Abuja and state capitals only; thereby encouraging rural to urban migration and leaving those left behind in rural areas under stark poverty.

United Nations have said majority of Nigeria’s poverty dwells in rural areas. So if we get LG autonomy, the LG chairmen can be able to spend money in rural areas; fix rural roads, fix rural primary health care Centers, fix rural markets and make them clean to avoid infectious foods getting sold, fix rural water supply.


A “rich rural area” is a rich country.

I'm sure the LG chairmen are not typical Nigerian politicians and will fix all those you listed above

For me local government are the closest to the people....if possible a system that can declare amount released for each local government so that we will be well informed of the people doing us....and are from our selves.
Let there be check and balance!.
For me I predict adjournment.
Mayb till I live this world.

I love Nigeria let accept each other please we are one..
God bless Nigeria #igbo #yoruba# hausa

nice sarcasm 😂

That the constitution of Nigeria recognizes federal, states and local governments as three tiers of government and that the three recognized tiers of government draw funds for their operation and functioning from the federation account created by the constitution,” the originating summons reads....

The above text summarises the court judgement tomorow. Except the supreme court will produce another magic.

Nigerian governors are just too greedy and selfish...Attimes i wonder if they go there to serve or want to be worship.

True but we have seen both sides in practical reality.

Our communities fared way better when we had functional local governments. Today, some governors are trying but they barely scratch the surface and majority of all they could do is around the state capital and a few major cities in their states.

Local governments were not perfect but inner communities were able to feel the presence of government without turning to beggars at the state secretariats.

If thr judgement goes the way of the federal government, local government chairman will join the looting spree. Before now states governments have caged them but this judgement may as well give them great access to steal and reduce how much the governors have been stealing. Nigeria I hail thee.

IamObidientBut:
I am Obidient but Tinubu must complete his 8 years, even 1 day no go loss, I wan make all us see to the end of this. I have my brand new PVC from last election and this time I will vote Tinubu instead of Obi or Atiku. If I ever join any protest against this government let my name change.

No one cares about who you are....
Keep entertaining your fellow obirodents.

People with head without brain.
Intolerant set of people who believe that Abuja voters are superior to Abia voters.

All of you supporting this move by the federal government are working for the evil Islamic cartel who has taken over this country backed by the Democrats and Nato. .
This move will no doubt, reduce the powers of state governors but transfer all powers to the federal GOVERNMENT when in effect .
Ministry of Livestock development that has recently been created is also part of the plan.
The idea is to penetrate and infiltrate every local government in the country through that ministry. And this would be easy through a government - controlled LGA chairman or police.
But I have this very strong belief that this plan will scatter at the last minute. It doesn't matter how long it has been in place. God has the final say and I also believe he has a different and better plan for his people.
APC will lose power some day in Nigeria and just like other previous cartels, you guys will vanish.

SHALOM!

Lawless governors. The constitution must be obeyed.

Dead on arrival.

Signing it into law won't favour the Fulani so tinubu won't sign it.

I pray the court rule in their (LG) favour so that those governors would no longer prey on their funds

RhinoChest:


State Policing doesn’t get in the way. I’m sure once this LG autonomy is ironed out, state police is next. Most govs are in favour of it. Careful planning is what’s needed.

Part of the measures when state police is put in place is to stop governors from using it to interfere in any election within the state.

.

Correct

Goodvibes007:

It would also make federal politics like that of the Senate and HOR less attractive to corrupt politicians.

Yes you are very correct. Politics at the local will be much interesting with all attention. A popular and hard working candidates will surely wins and local will be busy with projects. Surely money will reach everywhere. FG must win this case by tomorrow and no appeal from governors.

Oga, LG autonomy will create competition among LG in terms of projects to make names so as to go for Reps or Senate. Presidency, governors, senators and reps will be lesser on attention. Only the LG. Ok imagine every LG constructed local roads in the streets up to 200km, shops, markets, borehole, primary health centers etc in 4 years, with carpenters, bricklayer, artisans business being busy, who will remember a governor or senator? Every security is Local. APC will rule for Longer years because Tinubu knows local politics so much.

braveboi4life:
Can they also rule that State independent electrola commission stops conducting LG elections and it should conducted alongside tue General election?

Only an amendment to the constitution can make that happen.

Father Lord let the judgement favour Local Government AUTONOMY.
Save Nigerians with this AUTONOMY in JESUS. NAME.
WICKED AND GREEDY GOVERNORS MUST BE DISGRACED IN JESUS NAME.

Good one here, they should deliver their judgement well on the matter

Goodvibes007:
Finally.

Crooks like the man below also won't be able to misuse funds meant for LG again.

There are many jobless mofos wasting their around on the internet..You're one of them

Ebubu2:
Supreme Court should be aware what most state governors do, is to bend the local govt executive chairmen into accepting to leave their allocation for him to manage, in return they get re-nomination.

If Tinubu approves state police, we should kiss local government autonomy goodbye cos state governors will use state police to rig and steal INEC conducted elections.

Local govt chairmen should get backing from Federal authority by making themselves available for INEC-conducted local government elections, and getting backing from Army, a federal police., et cetera.

Because left for state governors, they will use state police to kill autonomy of local government chairmen by continuously harassing and bullying them.

You're too sound my brother.... I think it's high time the LGAs draw their development roadmap... They need to be orientated though especially from the previous mindset of Govo give me money make I chop without doing nothing in their LGAs...LGA Chairmen should know that they'll be held accountable for the dev't of their LGAs and will face the full extent of the law if found wanting... STEP BY STEP WE ARE MOVING
