Waste of time

fergie001:
Tinubu will not withhold it, the Govs are a powerful unit so much that when they gang up, it is almost impossible to beat them.

The best Tinubu will do is give them time before the end of the year to conduct LG elections.

So you think it's the responsibility of the governors to conduct elections? Are they not the independent Electoral body?

The states should be given short but realistic ultimatum to conduct the LG elections. If they don't, sanction should follow. Holding LG allocations because they don't have elected councils comes with a myriad of issues the major one being payment of LG employees (teachers, health workers etc)

■ You go cry taya

I don't cry at all because I have watched over the last 25 years how Nigerian people have supported the very system they claim is corrupt and foolishly run .

Dey play, Rivers state governor has allegedly instructed Head of Local Government to work with the CTCs

press9jatv:
Supreme Court of justice under justice Ariwoola did extremely well on the LG Autonomy case in the Supreme Court of justice

The judgement only makes the presidency more powerful to influence the internal affairs of states there's no guarantee that the local chairmen will even use their allocations judiciously to impact the masses in the grassroot. It's just a case of approving the movement of money to another group of nigerian politicians nothing too special.

There is State independent electoral Commission in charge of Local government Election... Sometimes it gets so messy that it's reported to be more bloody to the extent that elections umpire are requested from Abuja....
Another kind of trouble looming...

i need a nairaland interpreneur that will invest on me i want to contest for local government chairman

In South East, only Ebonyi State qualifies for the Federal allocation

There should be no arrears, FG should use the funds elsewhere

abc115:

Stop masturbating here. Era of PDP rascality is over

Someone should call the cops on this guy

press9jatv:
"The judgement of the government is clear. If you want to receive funds from the federation account, then conduct an election. If what you have in place is a caretaker committee as local government chairman, be sure that it will not have money from the federation account. If you want money from the federation account, such councils must be democratically elected".

Tinubu did that under Obasamjo
Though now it looks like Tinubu will do what Obasanjo did

Nigerians do not see this because they don't think for themselves. Rather they are puppets used by their many politicians to forward their numerous causes, all against the Constitution.

I am not understanding this o

Pls. Who can enlighten me

Am working with state in one of the listed states

Will this autonomy benefit the state workers or lg workers and also can state can decide on a salary scale different from lg

Very true. Kudos to S.C

State workers have never had a reason to concern themselves with LG Workers though. LG-related issues have pretty much been defined as separate from state-related issues.

kedeojo:
The federal may assume the duty of payment to the LGA workers. Don't you think it's possible

I concur with your comments. Very very possible

vanitybutiwanti:

No money for them

States and LG are different tiers of Government. You're not affected by the judgement of the supreme court.

Kobojunkie:
If the FG goes ahead with this farce, it means the FG has no respect for the Constitution at all.

Are you from the Imo state capital? Since 2007, state governors from Okigwe and Orlu zones have been using the federal allocations to the 27 local government areas to build state capital to international standards and to designer's delight. Shrubs took over the urban roads in the other towns of the state.

I think tinubu was a coward when obj withdrew funds from LG in lagos when he was busy creating lcda.

Could we all apologize to obj because this is what I forsee coming.

Standing5:
This whole thing could be a sign there is less and less money from FG.

Nobody is assuming anything. Now local governments cannot make excuses for not doing what they are supposed to do. Now people will know the names of their local government chairmen. I have never known the name of my local government chairman and I am sure neither have you.

Which ye ye constitution. Who Nigerian constitution dey favor apart from the political class. Our constitution is our major problem in this country sef

Fubala u don hear?

The acts you describe are all unconstitutional— they have been since 1999— and the governors implicated ought to have been impeached and sued by their electorate, but Nigerians seem rather comfortable existing as zombies in their democracy, so nothing much anyone can do until the people choose to wake the fk up.
