Makinde was speaking during a chat with the National leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists who conferred on him the Grand Patron of the NUj

About the Supreme Court judgement on financial autonomy for Local Governments and all of that, and I will still say it, I think it's just a distraction because we must face the real issues that we have.

And the issue we have is that we are not producing enough, we are not productive. Whatever it is that we are sharing in Abuja, which is what this FAAC is all about.. ohh okkk, whatever is in Abuja share it to the Local Governments, is that our problem?

Well, let's say maybe it's part of the problem, and you want to have value for what is been shared but our real problem is productivity, but now this is going to be the discussion for the next maybe one month or so while the real issue of hunger and anger in the land will still be under the table. It's a big issue.

The Federal Government is saying ok now we need to import food, it's a big shame. Yes, it's a big shame on this country that we cannot feed ourselves, and then we are saying we should go back to those days that will allow us bring confidence to our people.and to ensure that this country is back on the path of growth and progress.

Seyi Makinde (Oyo State Governor)

The local government ruling is important, but is not able to solve the immediate problems facing Nigerians now.
Seyi Makinde is right. This Tinubu government is playing to the gallery and Nigerians can't continue to watch APC destroy their future.
Tinubu's regime is a disaster.

No be only distraction....

In fact,na refraction and erection

All of a sudden,they now know there's hunger in the land simply because supreme court removed food from their hands

Werey people.

Lol...scam

Tell them

The distractions have been streaming out lately. Anthem, Rumours of waivers, Tax exemptions, and now LGA autonomy.
All coinciding with fertilizers distribution. It correlates with Makinde's idea here but the governors acted as if the hunger was solely the doing of the FG.

I regret voting for Tinubu.

Worse president in the history of Nigeria

Nobody is distracted!

Bul@ba is a one-term president!

Werey Makinde

Even gov Makinde?
I just want those LG chairmen to be scrutinized closely so that they won't become sudden Anini!

Lol

C×azy governor, what has he done for his people in OYO State? Is the hunger issue meant for Federal government to tackle alone? This people just take and think everyone don't think. His he not part of the government?

Please don't quote me too

I witness his government first hand as I Iive in Moniya.

Forget all the theory in papers, practically nothing works in Oyo State.

Go and look at how he changes LG chairman at will that even cause so many unrest and people been beating out of the LG in oyo state. He won't be happy with the news, never because it's a tool in his hand.

There is hunger In the land but he refuse to comment on the situation if it's the best rather he use what everyone know already to lure them to his side and divert their attention from the real deal.

Hospital-zero
School-zero
Security-zero (they kidnap at will in oyo state now)
Road- zero (substandard road that spoil in less than 2yrs)
Etc



People who are qouting me, insulting and passing wrong message without adding swear and insult won't be dignify with any response.


An individual ask about Moniya - ijaiye - iseyin road is very funny the road was built by Makinde but is it up to standard? No erosion control, close to building for that kind of joint road, and you don't ask me if there is paracetamol at Moniya General hospital.

You Don ask me about the maternity ward at MGH where there is no bed and you give birth with touchight and on iron bed without matress.
You don't ask me about the fact that if you slee in the hospital for a day you will surely ended up at UCH due to the ill condition of the hospital

😂😂😂😂😂
Watch them insult Makinde a member of the G5

If Peter Obi make this statement by now agbado online gang lead by Reno O'monkey will feast on it.

How well are Southwest governors utilising the vast arable lands that God has blessed them with for Agriculture? Maybe we should start from there.

We all know adequate utilisation of such land for Agriculture will go a long way in preventing hunger and anger in the land.

Na today?!! Leave dull Nigerians!

Make BBNaija do make e start fess!

More distractions ahead!

Several young kids perished less than 48 hours ago, but many top leaders and idiotic Nigerians feel that is not as relevant as LG Autonomy.

I can't imagine 10 people dying so horribly in Germany, Canada, France, America, etc, and their leaders will go about Dining and Wining like it's another day in the office...!


Up till now, not even a word from the Presidency!


Nigeria has to be one of the few nations on Earth where suffering and deaths of citizens are not as important as National Politics!

Wahala for who go vote empty brain leader

Everybody blaming the president
Untill Nigeria start holding their state governor responsible
Untill you start holding your senator responsible
All your representatives responsible until will change
Imagine a big state like oyo state can't even feed herself, what has the Governor done to salvage the situation
All of them blaming the federal government

A good distraction, I think...

But yeah, there's hunger in the land.

Werey people.

Oyo state isn't among states running CTC.

So Makinde is right on this.

Focus on the message and leave the messenger.

They'll not call makinde wailer cause he's not Igbo.

it shall not be well with thief nubu.

Leave them make them dey do like werey..

When they were in government in Oyo,they didn't conduct one single LG election until the 7th year . Oyo is among the states that have done LG election

Even APC participated in the last LG election this year.

But instead to face the very issue that is bediliving Nigerians they are running here and there.

Until Inec conducts LG and Govornship election same day and they use the same term of office,all these are ruse because the Govornors will still put their own in charge of the LG's

So therefore, nothing absolutely will come out of this

Okay

Exactly! BAT is only interested in 2027. Because planting his loyalists is the ONLY THING he knows how to do. Governance zero !!!

Even with the hunger in the land that we all acknowledge, let there still be autonomy for the LGAs.

OK!

Kingsmeal:

But him like all the other Governors, will no longer control the funds of the local governments like they have been doing even with elected LGA officials.

So he is obviously at a heightened state of disillusion and disenchantment with the landmark ruling of the Supreme Court.

The Governors are not happy obviously. Criminals!

lol
shebi you dey part of the people wey campaign for bulaba

Give them their autonomy, comot your eyes from their money..Na one by one we go address the issues facing us as a nation ..If una like call am zedtraction..Nigeria is moving forward..

Very obvious!

As though their previous total control of LGA funds was able to prevent the hunger in the land.

Scammers
