Development will never come to southeast.

Lol.. Till then because I don't believe all this yet.

To make law is easy in this country but implementing it is always another herculean task.

I'm still watching.

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

Wrong! The Constitution does not favor your political class at all. Why do you think they almost always come up with ideas to try to circumvent it any chance they get? If you spent time reading it you would know this. That document is almost a mirror of the United States Constitution, and like every constitution out there, it is not worked by magic but by the efforts of the people

STATE

NIGERIA.

Lagos have 20 LGs in the constitution but 37 created by a governor. Which one are they sending to now.

If the state governors win the case of VAT, They won't need FG FAAC allocation. They'll have enough funds to run CTC chairmen at various LGAs

olisaEze:
Delta State just conducted their LG elections today. So what does that mean for your list?

Tje list is out before the election today

Tinubu was that governor.

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.

Tinubu will follow the Law, Rivers expecially is the reason that this Judgement was Hastened, with the closeness of CJ Ariwoola wike FCT Governor Wike

Governors will conduct elections and fix their boys simple same thing continues. It's not any issue to them.

They should share their own share to the few state that has an elected LG chairman in place

Hope the local government workers will get paid at the end of the month with this judgement now

Governor that decides who becomes senator from the state is it local government chair that is the problem

BERNIMOORE:

Wrong! The very idea of FG sending allocations directly to the LGs stands in violation of the Constitution.

CrossRhodes:

You are assuming the LG chairmen will not embezzle like governors too?!

Embezzlement in lg can only happen in cahoot with the state government

First, lg chairperson don't have immunity

Second, lg chairperson can be removed by councillors and state assembly members if they embezzle

Governors even claimed that they bail some local government which is true. If FG can bail states then it's possible some local government are destitute

lereinter:
■ Embezzlement in lg can only happen in cahoot with the state government First, lg chairperson don't have immunity
Second, lg chairperson can be removed by councillors and state assembly members if they embezzle

1. There is no truth to this claim because, since 1999, the Law has never required the LGs to report to the State Governors. So, where does this assumption of yours come from?

The same applies as far as governors who embezzle but how come this has never happened before now?

I don't get why some are downplaying the enforcement of the SC judgement. It is the highest court of the land and it has decreed that this should be so. The judgement must be obeyed without demand. This idea that governors would not obey is just moot.

Lcda is not lg

The so-called enforcement would be in violation of the Constitution and would only shift more power over the LGs into the hands of the FG. It is anti-True federalism.

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

This could have been the best 💯

CrossRhodes:

No matter the level of embezzlement, they will still do alot of works in their area of jurisdictions. They are easily accessible, once people are aware of what they get from federal government each month, it will be difficult for them not to attend to the people's needs

Besides, local governments chairmen and councillors are mostly people born and breed in the same locality. People know them in and out, they can confront them if there is need to, unlike emperors governors.

Let them embezzle. At least, they're closer to the people and they'll have hard times explaining to the people at the grassroots, who are aware that the money comes directly to the LGs, reasons why there are no development in their domains...and they'll also have it difficult to convince them to vote them the second time if the impacts of their governance has not been positive.

The ball is actually in their court!

For me, it's a step in the right direction.

And for the governors who think they can run the affairs of the local government from their exalted office, I don't know where the mentality is coming from. The position of the constitution is very clear.

Mrexcell:



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.

Dey play... No local govt allocation for dem until elections are held

Anguldi:

This could have been the best 💯

It is the worst!

CrossRhodes:

It will be better than the governor's receiving it.

youngrichnigga:
Enablement of another set of corruptly enriched persons because of 2027 plans......there should be a framework and time for implementation.......is everything stated expressly in the Constitution regarding how the funds are used or will FG micromanage the spendings by the LG

Time for implementation of something that is trash frm the governors??

It is illegal not to hold a local govt election

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

Your own constitution tell you say make governors dey collect local govt allocation?

press9jatv:
Tinubu will send funds to the LG accounts. I only congratulate all the 774 LG workers here. Their money will never be owed again

Who told you? Without proper monitoring by efcc, another set of corrupt people in Nigeria will be local government chairmen. Mark my words.

Genesiis:
If the state governors win the case of VAT, They won't need FG FAAC allocation. They'll have enough funds to run CTC chairmen at various LGAs

No... Local Government also have their share too. It is to disadvantage of unproductive states too. According to section 40 of the VAT Act, the federal government gets 15 percent of the tax revenue, states share 50 percent, and local governments share the balance of 35 percent.
