Let The Third Tier Breathe: Implications Of The Supreme Court Verdict - Onanuga by Bobloco: 4:40am On Jul 17 |
The Supreme Court judgement on July 11, granting financial autonomy to the 774 local councils and recognising them as the third tier of Nigeria’s governance architecture, was truly historic. It was perhaps the most remarkable judgement ever delivered by the apex court in recent times, as it used its power to interpret the law to give a different meaning to Section 162 of the Constitution. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/07/let-the-third-tier-breathe-implications-of-the-supreme-court-verdict/ 19 Likes 2 Shares

Bobloco:Onanuga is a liar! This is an attempt to play on the intelligence of the notably gullible Nigerian people to justify the hijacking of power and control over the LGs by the FG itself by way of a supreme court ruling that equally violates Section 162. This is an attempt to use an illegal move to try to rectify another illegal move, of course, to grant greater power in the democracy to the FG. Section 162 does not give power and control over LG and LG Funds to the State Governors. Rather, the rogue Governors have been taking advantage of the LGs thanks in no way to the corrupt and inept government as well as the populace who have been asleep at the wheels of their democracy. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

To solve this, some Nigerians have urged the National Assembly to pass a law that will require only the central Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct council elections. Until this is done the Governor's will dictate what's done with the council funds. My state for example are currently selecting candidates whose loyalty is with the Governor for the upcoming council's elections and not through voting by the people so the election is mere famality. Because opposition in grass roots level is zero. 1 Like |

Its a welcome development, if only there's nothing up the sleeves to get reciprocate support of Local Government Council in 2027 general election. It's natural that some LG council will renegade their state Governor's to support PBAT, it'll take more years to determine the effect of the Supreme Court ruling. 1 Like |

Nigerians will learn the hard way.. Federal government just wants to reduce state governors power, imagine approving state police and restricting Governors from total access of LGA funds. FG wise no be small 1 Like |

As good as the judgement is, supreme court overstepped their bounds. The purpose of judiciary is to interpret laws and not to make laws but that judgement misinterpreted the constitution, section 62. Now, the same set of people now want the National Assembly to tinker with the constitution to reflect the judgement delivered. No country develop in an anticlockwise manner. I said this when the AGF instituted the suit that he should have gone through the National Assembly by sending an executive bill for the amendment of section 62 of the constitution and also amend the section to empowering INEC to conduct their election, as the SIEC is outrightly abolished and also making their tenure at par with other elective officials, instead of the three year tenure. This will ensure that elections are conducted simultaneously same year and same time into all posts and that will remove the overbearing influence of the state governors at monopolizing the local government council election. This will make more meaning than the back door route. My fear now is, the governors may not allow the amendment to the constitution to fly because they control the ace of the state assembly and dictate their rhymes. Many times that the amendment had been sought but as soon as it gets to the state assembly, the amendment will not scale through. In conclusion, let the poor Nigerians breathe. |

The Beginning of the whole thing : The Nigerian government had filed a suit at the Supreme Court against governors of the 36 states. In the suit, the Federal Government is seeking full autonomy for the country’s 774 local governments. The Federal Government also requested the Supreme Court to authorise the direct transfer of funds from the federation account to local governments — by the constitution. This will be a good judgement for the Local Government as long as the Logal Government chairmen/women ain't thieves and rogues like their bosses. Slow and steady we will get to the land flowing with milk and honey with barbecue 😋. Anything to move our Darling country forward in all ramifications is what we want at MANNA. 3 Likes 3 Shares |
