Hope you knw the man at center.


Govs can do anyhow for goodluck or mohammadu and not Tinubu.

Best comment here. No further comment needed than the one you made on a thread where many don't seem to remember how Tinubu is very strategic, visionary and calculative like a Chess Grandmaster.

Tinubu is probably the best leader in Nigeria for making long-term and interlinked planes he then carefully guides to success like the Lagos master plan he initiated, as Governor, and then ensured his successor continued holistically.

What people are reading now is just only part 1 of what may even be a 10 part drama Tinubu is cooking for the reformation of Nigeria through use of the LG as pivotal change agents of development since all Nigerians live in one LG or the other.

With Tinubu, it is a case of trust the process when a man who knows what he is doing is in charge.

Only one thing that makes me like his govt.

No govt appontee, Elected or Members of his political party that is too big to control, or going out to do anyhow, unlike previous govt since 4th republic, including OBJ.

Yeah, you forget the percentage.

Federal get 52%, normally the states get the rest 47% hence enough money, now state get 26 percent and local government get 20.8 or so, that is about 45 percent of what they usually get will be withheld by federal lol, you still think there is enough money.
Do you know how much Rivers IGR is?

Well my main point is this,,

For now, solidifying his structures across all LGAs is more important for Fubara than fighting to receive LGA allocations.

Am sure Fubara knows this. He would not mind losing money for another 1 year just to eliminate all Wike elements within the LGA structures.

This means Fubara and his cornies in rivers state will not get next month LG allocation else local government election into the LG positions are conducted. Same will go for many other states. This is a great judgement.

Let the LG function let's know the names and individuals running our LG, let's hold them accountable. H


Who will conduct LG election?

The State. If it is the State then forget the law....What is the law when i have my people incharge of LGAs.

Nigeria law always have loophole. The Rich and elites know this. They may hold it but once election is done they will release it.
Re: Supreme Court Bars FG From Paying Allocations To LGs With Unelected Officials by idowuogbo2547(m): 1:40pm On Jul 11
I think all the LCDA will now become the area offices of the LG where it was created or carved from.

In most of these states the elected LGA chairmen will even receive the allocation and then take it to the Governor to share for them.

If not you get suspended or you won't come back or the State Governors will use the assembly and the state judiciary to frustrate you.

3rd level of Government fully established !!!
The next is for Inec to take care of LG elections.
At least our streets will be fixed, our drainage will be fixed, now we can hold our grassroot politicians and leaders responsible for bad inter street roads and blocked drainage rather than waiting for he governors to remember us in our area.
As a matter of urgency state govt should be scrapped, they are mostly useless, we should go back to regional and local govts only, more responsibilities and finance should be placed on the local govt we can all easily access. The state gov get huge allocations and do next to nothing.

With just a click of the mouse the allocations will be stopped for any governor that disobeys then we'll see how strong the labour unions are

You people like to talk anyhow without reasoning. Is it Wike's wife that took state Governors to Court? How does this matter concern Wike's wife? Can Wike's wife influence the Supreme Court?

I think that you are not only ignorant you are also a very stupid fellow with the IQ level of an infant.
you are the ignorant dolt here if you think Wike has anything to do with this judgment. Over twenty one states are affected by this judgment and this case has been dragging before the Rivers state crisis.

Shut up. It wasn't Tinubu's idea neither was he the one that went to court.

You are too aggressive. Calm down.

FG filed the case...it was the AGF would filed it

Keyboard warrior...Why the shut up?
People you can't say shut up in real life...
Just because he or she has a different opinion.

Must we all have the same opinion?

U would grow up one day.

State electoral commissions can still conduct elections but it must be within a stipulated time and no tenure elongation can go more than 180 days

Fubala or Fubari of Rivers state how market I nor tell you?

I said you can't select LG chairmen by yourself it won't work but obidients morons said you are right but now Supreme Court have broken your back now how do you wat to do it?
he has fixed date for election in the councils, the tenure of the former administrators has expired so what the house did was illegal according to the constitution. Fubara is on track, the judgement is against over twenty states that has refused to conduct elections not Fubara

This is all aimed at Fabura of Rivers lol!

Imagine how fast they got the judgement soon after he selected his representative, he has to do election now and may lose control of many local government.
elections will be conducted and Fubara loyalists will win as expected

Where is the court getting the power to legislate from the bench?

They gave it to themselves and nobody going to challenge the judicial rascals. We like this ruling and are too lazy to amend the constitution to whatever we really want it to say.

senatordave1:


Exactly.in essence,section 162 sub 6 is deleted

Funny enough to not the first time activist judges legislated from the bench. I want to read the majority and minority opinions. Ruling like this are always a fun read. How do they rationalize this ruling.

Good development. Tinubu is getting it right gradually. Most of Nigeria problem including poverty and insecurity can be traced to ineffective LG administration.

Story!! They are just as incompetent and useless as the State and Federal governments.

you think Rivers is Osun state ?

A state with almost 30b monthly IGR ? When OBJ withheld Lagos LG funds did anybody die?

Rivers state govt can fund the LGs even without Federal allocation

We hope so too, cos they did in the past era where they don’t pay LG workers their salary and lot of local projects where abandoned until the state government took over to their responsibilities.
