LG Autonomy: Supreme Court decision, an assault on true federalism - James Ibori by mohbadliveson: 1:35pm On Jul 11 |
The Supreme Court has dealt a severe setback on the principle of federalism as defined by section 162(3) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). The section expressly provides thus: James Onanefe Ibori Nasir El-Rufai replies From God we came and to Him we shall all return. 16 Likes 5 Shares

Nonsense ! The most important thing in the law is the spirit of the law and not the letters of the law. That's why the Supreme court explicitly stated that the state governors has abused the privilege accorded to them. The supreme court ruling has effectively established an autonomous third tiers of government and this is very important for the development of the country and Nigerian democracy. The fear of political meddling in local government affair by the Federal government is secondary and should not becloud our resolve to give more opportunities for development to local level. Imagine some towns and local government being at the mercy of their Governor. Some Governors will seize the allocation of local government and use it to develop another place. The Supreme court ruling is valid 361 Likes 43 Shares |

He raised very valid points here. I do not understand what the judgement had to say about Section 162 (3). Has the Supreme Court set aside that Section or repealed it? 11 Likes 6 Shares |

Ibori should go and sit down. Every sane, honest and law abiding Nigerian is happy with the judgement. Financial autonomy for LGAs is a recipe for true grassroots development and security. 92 Likes 4 Shares |

EmeeNaka: You got it bro. That judgement makes sense. At least local governments can have their resources and use to develop their areas accordingly. I think Ibori interpreted according to his understanding of the wordings in English. The struggle for local government full autonomy has been going for ages, with governors refusing to let local governments grow and the citizens enjoy proper developments at the grassroots. For me, Ibori’s opinion is immaterial going forward. Local government elections are opportunities for governors to instal their stooges. There is no firm of democracy as the councils are not democratically composed. You have council members only belonging to the ruling party in the state. Elections are completely one sided with state electoral commissions conducting what I always term “wayo elections”. I think NASS should proceed to get INEC to conduct elections at state levels. That way, we can get those we term as our best choices at the local government levels first. 50 Likes 3 Shares |

Kudos to the Supreme Court for this landmark judgement. Only rogue governors and former governors will be against the judgement. Local Government should not to tied to the apron spring of the governors. We've seen how rogue governors like Peter Obi ruled for 8 years without conducting local government election. They collect every single kobo belonging to the LGAs and then set up a useless transition committee that are un-elected and then give them peanut to operate. Any one that is against this judgement is an enemy of Nigeria. Kudos to the AGF and Mr. President for this. 157 Likes 8 Shares |

We can deride Ibori for who he is but you can't fault this. He is even closer to Tinubu than all of you but he realises this fully negates the ideas and principles they harrassed OBJ for. What is more stomach-turning is using the SC to carry out such assault on the Constitution. Haba!! 7 Likes 5 Shares |

Eteka1:This is actually the part that gets me laughing. Folks like you make it sound like LG chairmen have been itching to develop their areas and it is the govs that has been inhibiting them. What grand delusions! Most of the LG chairs are former and active political thugs of their godfathers. The few who are not are simply appendages and bootlickers. Secondly, how many LG chair are actually resident in their LGs as we speak? Lastly, Tinubu is an hypocrite. When he was gov, he wouldn't let anyone touch his LG funds. He sanctimoniously preached true federalism and devolution of powers. He comes in and he starts taking steps to decimate and whittle down govs and states simply because he wants to control everything even to the smallest. This singular act has repudiated all the talk of federalism from him over the years. Shame on Ariwoola who allowed his court to be used to carry out a coup on the constitution. 14 Likes 4 Shares |

Full autonomy will bring the dividends of government to the rural areas or interland. 10 Likes 1 Share |
