This is the greatest judgement from the supreme court since 1999 ! Any Gov that does otherwise against local govts must must be impeached or president should declare State of emergency in such state Bcous all these Govs need iron hands
Absolutely!
Good step taken by the S'court for the first time since 1999
Congratulations Nigeria 🇳🇬
Congratulations indeed
Best judgements of the year
Good one . I like the news . Thank you the court
Great fantastic super news. Well done supreme Court
This is long-awaited and long-overdue.It is an anathema to the 1999 Constitution even though a bad document with conflicts for governors to turn LG's to their appendages. Congrats Nigeria.
A step towards the right direction
In Nigeria, we know what is good and what we want but those in power are completely detached from the people
This is great news for our local government. It's time the community began to hold the local government accountable and ensure transparency, rather than gross misconduct of our resources in violation of their oaths of allegiance.
This is Good
Very good judgement. Any LG Chairman that is not duly elected or that is handpicked by the governor will have its allocations withheld.
This judgement will make it easier for us to hold our LG Chairmen accountable.
Hallelujah. Nigeria is getting better.
Apuuuuu! For where?
One will like to assume that this judgement only favours the local governments recognized by the constitution and not the additional ones created by the state governments.
This is a great step
I am happy of this order,i can wait for this to be actualising 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
A new birth of democracy in Nigeria, NGF are weakened now . congratulations to us Nigerians.
when we make our local government important, that is is the beginning of any country. even strong compound steel must first start with 1 atom of iron, you cannot build a house without molding blocks.
Waoooo Local govt election will become bloody now. Naijaaaa
@@patriciaawele1367 and also get better in subsequent elections
Local government should be given power to create schools district at each local government
Who will conduct the LGA elections 🤔?
Corrupt and fraudulent INEC will conduct the LGA elections
JAMB
Having delivered this welcoming judgement, I hereby asked who will oversee local government ares election and which arm of government resources will be used for the election now? I hereby submit that only one electoral body should be established in Nigeria to conduct federal, states and LGAs election in Nigeria .
The next stage of this LGA autonomy is for INEC to conduct LGA elections. With that, the state’ SIEC will be dissolved paving way for true autonomy to the 3rd tier of govt.
What about the legitimacy of the LG? The states INEC or States Electoral Commission are still under the State Governors influence which would still conduct the LG elections nationwide which are always manipulated by the state Governors or the political in power at the state level.
So indirectly this ruling by the Supreme Court would still not solve the issue with the LG autonomy!
If Governors and the ruling political parties pick the candidates for LG chairmen, they would be bound to follow the Governors instructions even with respect to finances! So I think the solution is that main INEC at the federal should be conducting LG elections which the state governors will not be able to influence and this means that National Assembly would have to amend the electoral act.
This also means that we still have a long way to go and this is not the end of this matter so the National Assembly still have big role to play to bring a lasting solution to this LG automomy case
If not we are still deceiving ourselves and the Supreme Court judgements would more or less won't be effective and will not achieve the intended goals and objectives in the long run
Political parties can as well take the rest to the supreme court themselves
The FG has done its own bit,the rest is left for the LG chairman and political parties.
The judgement says that any LG Chairman that is not duly elected or that is handpicked by the governor of his/her state will have its allocations withheld.
The major problem in Nigeria is accountability, if measures are not put in place to check how funds are managed then this judgement will be futile.
LG chairmen will become richer while communities become poorer.
If we fix accountability then Nigeria will be great again regardless of who handles funds.
Bravo
Good move
Very good over the local government funs, and now what's the conditions of the states without local chairmen ie Imo State local government 🤔🤔🤔
conduct elections
Any State without a proper elected LG Chairmen will have its allocations withheld.
Nice judgement
If all the 774 LGAs commit just N5 million to agriculture monthly, that is approximately N3.8 BILLION, (approximately N45 BILLION a year)....just imagine how much maize, corn, yam, cassava, rice, etc that money can produce yearly....Congratulations Nigeria.
Why do I feel that Wike is cooking something 🤔
Interesting
The judgement is good but sad one if the federal government continues bundle everything under exclusive list.
Federal allocation alone can't take local government anywhere as some local government areas have less to generate
No one is talking about how the LGAs should function so we don't see monies meant for development disappearing into private pockets. They should be made to understand that embezzlements within that level would be tantamount to asking for war.
GOD BLESS OUR BELOVED PRESIDENT TINUBU ..GOD BLESS NIGERIA ..POWER TO THE PEOPLE ..WE MOVE
Hope the funds get used judiciously
congratulation
But the should also look into the election process.
National electoral commission should be in charge of the Local government election and not State electoral commission
nice
Great!!!
Delivered from the strong hold of governors.
#state police and local government police now
#governors and chairpersons must be responsible for the security of Nigerian citizens now
#ban open grazing now
#referendum now
If local council does thier job , not much remains for the governor, is a new done
Congratulations Nigeria. For the first time, LGAs will be able to hire local hunters and informants to improve local security, they will be able to fix leaking roofs, dilapidated doors and windows in primary and secondary schools, they will be able to operate a small clinic with may be 2 or 3 nurses that can treat simple malaria, fever, headache....👏😆🤣
Good
Mr Rufai kindly stop slouching please. Thank you Sir.
🙏👍🙏👍👏👏👏
Let inec also conduct LGA elections
They have finally come to their senses. Funny people
Finally. But will they Obey this Judgement we know that Government is used to flaunting the Law
they need to send the fund directly to local government and bypass the governor system
Nothing will change, the people will not get development or benefit. The local government chairmen will soon become lord onto themselves. It is more food for the political class.
A good move in a good direction. However i am yet to see any judgement by the apex court that will be contrary to Tinubu views. Perhaps he influenced this one which is correct and right anyways.
We have to praise and give credit to Tinubu's administration on this. Despite he knew this MAY cause many governors to hate him, he still took the courage. Kudos to Mr. President and the Supreme Judges
Tinubu will fix Nigeria. This judgement is a watershed in the political evolution of Nigeria. You will now see LG chairman confront their governors now. Even those appointed by those governors. Nigeria finally in a safe hand.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Tinubu!
@@voicecommunities4810 who took the governors to the Supreme Court? Why do you hate the President so much that you won’t even care to seek the fact about the case.
@@voicecommunities4810 Are you okay
Can't you read?
The president ordered his AGF to sue the 36 states of the federation to the supreme court including his home state Lagos for financial autonomy of the 774 LGAs in the country.
The disadvantage of this judgment is that the local government chairman will also abuse the privilege given to them
Try and also be looking at the bright sides in issues.....not always the negative sides.
If your own LG chairman is continuously misbehaving, the entire town or city should hold him/her accountable
Correct. Fubara is going to hear it hot. 😂😂😂😂 Wike pass all of una.
This is not all about wike
How is this about Wike 😢
You re one of the problem of this country. Once in a while take a trip to a develop country and see how their government is been practiced.
Is Rivers state and Fubara the only governor in Nigeria out of 732 or local governments the Supreme court has just ruled in their favours?
2. Did Fubara dissolve any local government whose 3 years terms have not expired?
You must have your head examined for mental disorder.
The Supreme court ruling will bring more developments to all local governments in Nigerua if each local government chairmen and executives do not misuse the funds.
Your mind set is very low
