The courts never did what you claim since LG autonomy was never broken in the first place. Rather, what the courts did was to, against the Constitution, grant control over the LG to the FG in this.

2. Subsections 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of section 162 of the Constitution have been in existence since 1999. LG autonomy has always been a part of the Law in Nigeria. Stop yammering and pay attention to your own Constitution, please. Stop allowing your politicians to diddle with your head with their many arguments meant to keep you blind and deceived.

The question is, was the constitution followed since 99, or was it enforced ... nobody dey follow you argue the law was long written or not, if not that you just want to argue for arguement sake

I said "reinstated" .. find a dictionary bro cos you are just arguing off point besides is it even court/judge that will pass a new law should we think local govt autonomy is new sef

For people to be saying Buhari’s Administration is far better than Tinubu….Ha!!!






Don't say because you are close to APC politicians, and feign away from the truth.
Posterity will judge you and your family o..

Before you say PO is a better person and how has life treated Nigerians for the past 12 months. Remember, Nigeria is made up of 36 States and an FCT.
Now truthfully say how was Anambra State when PO was governor and how was life there?
How much wa PO paying as minimum wage during his administration as governor compared to Lagos and FCT?
How much was the price of food stuffs?
What's the IGR ?

What was your investment in Anambra youths when you were the governor?

He invested in education, which is the bedrock of any progressive society and that's the reason why Anambra still tops in education to this day.

As gov of Anambra state instead of investing in youth you chose to invest in alcoholic company so that the youths can be drunk and forget themselves

What an incompetent buffoon

The way the average Nigerian reasons is most definitely at the root of all of the problems of Nigeria!

Suppose the Law says that a husband beating his wife and vice versa is a crime, but people continue to flout the law and policemen turn a blind eye when they see a man beating his wife even in a public place, does it mean that the law is the problem and needs to be changed? Does it mean that husbands or wives cannot be sued and prosecuted for any of the crimes they have committed during all of that time when the law was in place?

If nobody dey follows the law then why are you rejoicing here that the Supreme Court has twisted the law to create a new one which according to you nobody will also follow?

2. You can only reinstate/restore a law that was removed or pushed out by way of legal manipulation. Section 162 of the Constitution has remained intact since 1999. The Supreme Court did not reinstate any law; rather it completely ignored the law and chose to instead assert a different idea.

3. Courts do not pass new laws.

Kobojunkie:
1. Everyone is accepting it probably because like always the Nigerian people remain ignorant of their very Constitution and the many political manipulations of their political class.

See, I don't need to be a lawyer to know what the Constitution says or understand that it is being violated. I simply need to educate myself on what it says to know this. Before all of this the Constitution never granted Governors access to the Special account they were to maintain, and neither did the Constitution grant Governors control over LGs. The illegal control and dipping into LG accounts are criminal offenses and all implicated governors ought to be punished. However, this decision by the Supreme Court does three things
● It exonerates the Governors by insinuating the Constitution is to blame.
● It illegally grants the FG direct access to the LGs, shifting power over the LGs from the National and State House of Assembly into the hands of the FG. That power shift moves Nigeria well away from true federalism as currently defined in the Constitution
● Removes full control over election and removal of LG chairmen from the hands of the people at the local level to the FG. If the people have a problem with their LG chairman, they now have to tangle with FG if they wish to have him or her removed from office

The ruling benefitted the politicians. State governors cannot be impeached and prosecuted for what are crimes against the people. And the FG now garnered more control over issues at the grassroots level. The people get absolutely nothing but a lopsided government at the end of it all.

2. Peter Obi does not enjoy impunity in Nigeria so you are free to demand he be prosecuted for crimes committed during his tenure. So what exactly is stopping you from doing that?

Please can you help me with the section of the constitution that talks about true federalism or you can also explain to me. Let me understand what is true about our type of practice.
Thanks.

The same way the werey invested in anambra youth when he was governor. Agulu fraud.

Kobojunkie:
1. Invested in education, how? By rebuilding old buildings? Are you for real?

2. Anambra is tops in education, how?

Anambra has one of the highest number of schools in the country. There's no need to build new ones while you can renovate the old ones and equip them with modern facilities and they'll rival any new building. I'm sure you know this. It's foolishness that makes governors to start erecting new structures while there are old structures doing the same functionality, just like my former governor, Rochas, did.

As for your second question, google is available for you to check stats. Or you're one of those your leaders who don't know the value of statistics?

If only Nigerian youths were wise and united, the Obidient Movement would have been a game changer for this country. The corrupt establishment will not invest in the youths lest their eyes open to the realities of what is happening to them.

Let's visit the meaning of Federalism. Please pay close attention to not just the definition of the term but also the example of current states that implement the system.

Federalism is a system of government in which the same territory is controlled by two levels of government. Generally, an overarching national government is responsible for broader governance of larger territorial areas, while the smaller subdivisions, states, and cities govern the issues of local concern.

Both the national government and the smaller political subdivisions have the power to make laws and both have a certain level of autonomy from each other.https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/federalism

The constitution, the legal contract/agreement upon which the federation of Nigeria is defined does not talk about federalism. What it instead does is describe the design and structure of the system.

1. Having the highest number of schools means absolutely nothing if the level of education remains as poor as it is in other states in the country. But what you seem to be saying is that Obi renovated old schools and equipped them with modern facilities. What modern facilities are those?

2. Nothing on Google says what you claim, and yes, I have had this debate with someone before this. According to reports, it has the best school completion records among the states, sure, but the best educational system... that is a stretch.

You are very much correct that he didn't do any of the above. But he certainly did impede, illegally mind you, on the powers of the LG chairmen in his state during his tenure as governor. That contributed to limiting growth at the grassroots levels during his tenure as governor. Just imagine for a minute if the LGs had been able to freely carry out their various functions in the state at the time, the state might be a very different place than it is today.

From offpoint to wrong analogy you could not even come up with an analogy that suite the discourse

At these point highlight were i said its a new law , do you "reinstate" for something "new" abi o kor fe argue nii

Becos the law has no history of implementation or activation it is more or less "INACTIVE" ..subsequently Governors impunity override that law but the court has restored it ... any local govt chairman can drag his governor to court incase, above all Funds will now be paid directly to local govts .. what never happened don pass no be big deal ... go n sit down jare

At least, he would be better than the Agbado president.

A visionary leader who for 7 years illegally shackled the LGs in the state and probably criminally dipped his hands into an account meant only for the LGs in his state? A man who stifled development at the LG level by his carelessness? You claim youths had at least 10 million in their accounts during his tenure, and I ask where was that money sourced from.

Offpoint here is you and the analogy was to help you better reason the foolishness of what is being done to you here as opposed to what you would rather pretend the case.

Section 162 of the Constitution has remained intact since 1999. The Supreme Court did not reinstate any law; rather it completely ignored the law and chose to instead assert a different idea.

3. The Law defined in Section 162 has been ACTIVE since 1999. A Constitutional law goes into effect the moment a country is established upon it. This happened back in 1999 as far as Nigeria as a democracy; the law never experiences a black-out of any sort so long as the nation continues to exist under the system established by that particular contract.

4. Impuntity DOES NOT override the Law(See Section 308 of your Constitution). Immunity does not absolve the President, Vice-President, Governors, or deputy Governors of any of the crimes committed during their time in office. Immunity as defined by the Constitution DOES NOT impede or do away with the people's power to have any of them removed from office and then prosecuted afterward.

5. Local Government Chairmen CANNOT drag Governors for criminal cases (See Section 308 of your Constitution).

6. The Federal government sending funds directly to LGs was illegal before this ruling(See Section 162 of your Constitution).
