You are too stanic! All you wanna hear in your life is bad news all the way. When you are not a student of history....when previous governments or regime were paying directly into LGs acct were the states controling their resources themselves? All what they love hearing is bad news.... God pass una...bad belle people WikeTheDrunk: |

fergie001:I'm beginning to start to believe that Tinubu has an influence on this very judgement. It's absurd and awkward to believe such a thing. Anyways... Let's wait for the CTC. 1 Like 1 Share |

id911: Wait.. Something that is inside the constitution would now be termed unconstitutional.?? What if the CTC of the judgement didn't make any mention of that section in question?? ..... senatordave1:So now,, what if the CTC of the judgement is finally out, and it happened that the judgement didn't make any mention of that section in question,, does it still mean that the judgement had interpreted that particular statutes which it negated without even mentioning?? |

BluntCrazeMan: By implication,that section is dead |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by fergie001: 10:24pm On Jul 11 |
BluntCrazeMan:His handwriting is written all over it. Nonetheless we will see what's inside the CTC. |

fergie001: Oga,move on |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by senatordave1(m): 11:24pm On Jul 11 |
BluntCrazeMan: It is the right judgment however |

We the electorate now need to ensure that we get the right people in as LG Chairmen. |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by BALLOSKI: 3:19am On Jul 12 |
This is a good news. State electoral commissions should be scrapped. Let's get it right at that level. |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by BALLOSKI: 3:21am On Jul 12 |
delpee:With the same governors conducting the elections? They'd conduct election and win everywhere. |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by BALLOSKI: 3:25am On Jul 12 |
adioolayi:They'd conduct the elections, pick their own and put them in office, then they'd receive this allocation and hand them back to the governors to use for whatever they deem fit. |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by BALLOSKI: 3:37am On Jul 12 |
ourcrudeoil:That's my question. The power to conduct their election should be taken away from the states. They organize sham, pick their own and call it election. This is one of the reasons I don't support the creation of state police - look at what the governors are doing with the state houses of assembly and the state judiciary. |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by ciencee(m): 5:41am On Jul 12 |
dalongjnr:Exactly my thoughts, INEC should be allowed to conduct the local government election on the same day of conducting the governorships/states assembly elections. |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by adioolayi(m): 5:58am On Jul 12 |
BALLOSKI: I am not disputing this can happen...all I can say is, it can't happen in the entire 774 LGs in Nigeria. This is a positive gain and any anomaly that remains will be corrected with time. Make we celebrate this first |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by BALLOSKI: 7:36am On Jul 12 |
adioolayi:We just run away from the solution to our problems. I'm happy this is happening, but we should go the whole hog since we have a president with a semblance of political will to challenge the governors in this regard. The power to conduct their election should be taken away from the governors - they killed the LGs. We know how Yahaya Bello and other governors would ask the LG chairmen to submit projects in their LG, then, they return the money to the state government coffer and their needs are taken care of for them. What an anomaly! |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by adioolayi(m): 7:52am On Jul 12 |
BALLOSKI: It's a very sad one.. honestly speaking. I will be very impressed, if the machinery of EFCC are fully activated against LG Chairmen going forward...make everyone bear their papa name. Anyone wey mismanage any funds sent to the LG should be held responsible |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by Paraman: 8:00am On Jul 12 |
Teymanhenry:This month. LGAs will start getting their allocation from the FG this month |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by Paraman: 8:07am On Jul 12 |
bigpicture001:So how many state governors do give the LG chairman their complete money? Some of the governors don't even hold a LG election but still dip their hands into LG funds. Governors witholding LG funds is unconstitutional, the supreme court gave a great judgement |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by Paraman: 8:12am On Jul 12 |
DMerciful:It changes a lot |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by Johnnyplus01k(m): 9:25am On Jul 12 |
After this hard fight the LG chairmen will still behave, it's a welcome idea though |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by ITbomb(m): 11:27am On Jul 12 |
senatordave1:Joint Account is established by the constitution, so you don't just scrap it by a ruling, you legislate it out (repeal) So paying LGA money to any other account other than the State Joint Account is illegal And the Constitution is superior to the Supreme Court |
Re: Supreme Court Grants LGs Financial Autonomy by senatordave1(m): 11:55am On Jul 12 |
ITbomb: You are right but I am also write.the supreme court interpret the law and what they say stands as the law so that section has been suppressed sir... |
