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

Ok so the corruption and embezzlement can continue so long as it's not only governor..

Oh dear Lord

"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".

Dear FG,should incase u go later reason am give dem.Pls dnt give benue,kogi nt forgetting yobe too,i repeat DNT GIVE THEM,e get why.

Kobojunkie:
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.

I suppose you are among the bandwagon of people that are saying the SC has rewritten the provisions concerning the LG in the constitution.

What the SC has simply done is give a liberal interpretation in which case, it has reinforced what the original drafters of the constitution have in mind.

The FG's sole role at the moment is just to withold the funds of states with caretaker committe, pending the period when elections will be held to install a DEMOCRATICALLY formed LG. Of course, this is just to give effect to this judgement for now. Going forward, governors will be hands off LGs and their allocations will sale through without undue interferences. It's not like as if the FG will continue to withold funds whenever it feels like.
The FG will not have a reason to withold funds of LGs in the first place, so long as it is democratically constituted.

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

Your governors have been violating the Constitution all the while. They have been illegally dipping into LG accounts, against the Constitution. How does it then make sense for the FG to use an equally illegal act to resolve this?

Why is a Yobe on the list

Please go read your Constitution abeg before you continue yammering! Sadly, most of you are simply parroting the same delusions that have been fed to you by your politicians who use you lot to further what are their illegalities. See how you are busy arrogantly broadcasting what is ignorance of your laws without even realizing what you are doing.

FG has no right by Law to withhold money from States, the same way States have no right to withhold funds from the LGs. Nigerians keep saying they want true federalism but here you are all asking for the alternative by handing power over states and LGs to the FG. I don't understand why you people switch off your brains. Those states implicated are guilty of illegally accessing LG funds. It is up to the people of Nigeria to punish those governors and the people can do so by calling for their impeachment and then prosecution. Trying to solve a problem of illegality using another illegal act is a sure way of promoting corruption and ineptitude.

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

Maybe medicine after death.

Teymanhenry:


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

Who appoints members into the SIECs that conducts the elections?

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.

Not with the god of Politics

fergie001:

The Chair person is selected by your Governor, kind of like how your president selects the INEC Chair as well.

Perhaps you should demonstrate your own "knowledge" of constitutional law by acknowledging the fact that in every federal system government, the federal government remains the most powerful among the three tiers, notwithstanding the level of devolution of powers.

And by the way, in this particular LG financial autonomy case, you haven't provided a cogent explanation as to how the SC is "handing over power" of LGs to the FG simply because the SC ruled that the FG should temporarily withold funds as means of enforcing the provisions of the constitution.

You are the one that talking about the possibility of governors' failure to observe the judgement. If the SC doesn't rule this way, perhaps you might be right.


Please, find something else to say!

Read the fking constitution, will you? Before all of this, the power to decide how much any particular LG gets and when belonged in the hands of the National and State House of Assembly. Shifting that power instead to the FG(executive) means giving more power to the FG over the LGs. The moment the FG takes over from both houses, Subsections 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of Section 162 of the Constitution would be rendered obsolete. Is this really how any country should approach governance? Basically, use one set of illegallities to resolve another set of obvious illegalities?

While add Delta State to it, we have dully elected chairman and today is even lga chairmanship election.

See their faces. Lawless creatures.

See them conducting election in next few weeks

Abbeytoy:

Even if the Governors conduct elections, it does not change the fact that most of them are guilty of embezzling funds they were not authorized to touch or access for themselves. The people can instead resolve this issue by calling for impeachment of all implicated Governors, and then ensuring they are all prosecuted and all funds traced and returned to the LGS.

I do not understand why the Nigerian people do not desire to see their government work for them at all.

lol be like say you no hear when AGF talk say the judgement Don take effect from the pronouncement......all this one you're talking can only work in an election year which we are still 3 years away from.....

masterflowx:


The elected council chairmen/chairpersons will not have their inauguration into the office this month.

doesn't matter....whenever they get inaugurated they will get whatever backpack is due....in fact na this one go even ginger them to enter office quickly

It seems you're confused. What those provisions of s162 you are adducing is saying is, the NASS (in respect of funds in the federation account; subsection (5)) and state HoAs (with respect to the state's IGR; subsection ( ) shall determine the percentage of revenue the LGs will get.
Their roles are limited to determining the proportion of revenue to be allocated to the LGs.

So, your point again?

Dimpling:
This issue is what they're using to distract Nigerians

Incarnate ingrate!!!

Kobojunkie:
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.

Zombies as you rightly explained.
One gov would destroy what his predecessors built in the Imo state capital, and builds his own; infrastructures like Markets, hospitals, drainage system, flyovers, tunnels, roundabouts, etc, in the Imo state capital; his successor would demolish them and build his own. Government establishments that existed outside the Imo state capital before the state was created, had been closed down.

I really don't understand the Nigerian people at all.

So why blaming Tinubu for the state of the nation?

10 states are APC states, so this has nothing to do with politics.

they should first provide mechanism to curb massive corruption because it's inevitable

The governors obviously violated the Law by dipping into the LG accounts before now. No one is saying anything about what to do about the governors.
