The former Ekiti State Governor was in a one-on-one interview on ChannelsTV You see I am not a lawyer but a politician and by the grace of God, an elder statesman and I will be very factual and very sincere. We are talking about three arms of Government - The Executive, Legislature & Judiciary. - Peter Ayodele Fayose 19 Likes 6 Shares

COMRADES, anyone who thinks that the so-called local government autonomy will function effectively, you are dreaming Because the governors will definitely plant their stooges in every local government area who will be sending them returns. So the joint account will still be functional through the backdoor 42 Likes 8 Shares |

This is nonsense coming from him, so we should just assume that the entire population is at the mercy of the governor's right? He should wait and see, a governor's interest for reelection can also be frustrated by a group of local government chairmen if he thinks he is the alpha and Omega. 167 Likes 17 Shares |

It will work. That the governor supported someone to emerge as Chairman does not mean the person will continue to follow the governor around like mumu. The governors have always been controlling the councils because they have control of their allocations. Now that they can no longer control their money, the Chairmen can assert their independence once they get into office. Fubara and Uba Sani are good examples. They were errand boys before but once they got into office, they became men of their own. If they have no control of their states allocation, they won’t be fighting their predecessors. 41 Likes 2 Shares |

How? The only reason why things never work can be found in the I-don’t-care attitude of the citizens. Nigerians are easily able to digest all the recklessness of the political class and yet praise them to the highest heavens. If we must practice democracy, we must follow up in all the sense of it. We watch other democratic nations talking about their local councils. We see how local councils benefit the citizens. One wonders how governors, past and present, sermonize us on how allowing local governments run appropriately would not work. We already know that Nigerian politics is godfather based. We know that even a Presidential candidate needs some powers that be to help him get there, how much less a governor and other political office holders. Who holds most of them by the scruff of their necks when they assume office? Even the President is checkmated by the National Assembly. So what’s Fayose talking about state assemblies? He can fool some including himself, but he cannot fool everyone. He must grow beyond his jaguda politics. A man who shortchanged his own party in the last Presidential election should not be telling us such crap. He should bow his face in shame. We all now know that it is the law to forward local government funds directly into their accounts. We await to see that local government chairman who would forward his local government’s funds into the state government account, as a show of loyalty. Having attained success at the Supreme Court, next would be the states to mind their areas of jurisdiction and allow local government carry out their statutory functions as spelt out by the constitution. We would like to see INEC conducting local government elections and not state electoral commissions. We saw the examples last weekend with Adamawa and Delta states, where the ruling parties won the entire seats. That’s the loophole for governors to hold local governments by the jugular. With INEC, all parties would participate and equitable representation would be guaranteed all citizens. We would expect EFCC and ICPC to be very active in the local governments, formulating policies that would protect the resources for development in their accounts. 12 Likes |

we don hear. These people always feel too bigger than the system. What if inec is now empowered to conduct the elections? Reasons why the so-called governors always have the upper hands were because they control the state inec, so oppositions dont have access to their machinery. How will you buy a competitive elections that everything will be done in natives presence, the candidates will be native people, and well known to the communities not a stranger that will be governing Akute and be staying in Lekki? Where everyone will know who is capable or not? And it will be difficult to fully rig the election because boys will be at the corner of the road with broken bottles. Yes, governor may have his candidates,but may not really be able to rig all the LGs, may be only the areas he comes from. Local elections are always brutal when it comes to the grassroots. We will wait and see. Very soon, na the governor go dey beg the LGs to support them especially if the elections in the LGs are conducted far from the governors time. 12 Likes |

LG autonomy can only work if electoral laws are amended to allow Abuja INEC conduct LGA elections. If not, if governors put their stooges in LGAs in a sham election, they will still be remitting whatever they get from Abuja to the governors. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

The idiot called Onanuga, speaking for the piggish government thought they could rope Peter Obi in. Peter Obi in his wisdom never replied the bastards because little did the Adviser know, politics does not play out that way. Peter Obi has always been on the side of low cost governance. And with this supreme court ruling, lets expect every Local Government Government to have their ow 20 special advisers too, and ministers. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

We all know its the truth for now. But the joy of the people is not really in absolute independence of the LG Chairman from the Governor, it is actuall in the fact that people within the LG can approach their Chairman demand for things he has to do within the LG. 6 Likes |

This corroborates the widely known fact that elections in Nigeria is a sham. According to Fayose here, no one emerges Chairman without the governor, not without the people. This is becasie, the governor decides who becomes chairman using their state resources and their well oiled rihhing machinery. Nigeria genuinely isnt ripe for democracy. We should stop fooling ourselves. 3 Likes |

SmartPolician:Electoral laws cannot change that, only a Constitutional amendment. The 2010 or 2006 Electoral Act (can't remember) reflected that but the Supreme Court shot it down years ago that only a Constitutional amendment can do so. A Constitutional amendment must need at least 24 States Houses of Assembly to approve, so the Govs are back in-charge unless we have God-fearing Govs, the difference will be the same. 4 Likes |

It's a starting point. Soon, the people will start determining who their chairman will be. Just a matter of time. Imagine a known and respected person comes out to contest for Chairmanship, and he's in a different party from the Governor's. If the people of his LGA loves him and truly votes for him, it will be a calamity to declare another candidate (Governor's choice) as the LG Chairman. It's just a matter of time. 5 Likes |

This shows the type of democracy we practice and that chairmen are imposed on the people just as some governors imposed themselves. Only few that are fortunate emerge from other parties 4 Likes 1 Share |

Who appoints the INEC chairman? And who is he loyal to? After voting, they can declare anyone as the winner from presidential order and there's nothing the masses can do The presidency are backing the LG Autonomy for their own benefit, don't be deceived 6 Likes 2 Shares |
