I am in no way shape or form a fan of President Tinubu or the attorney general of Nigeria but i must commend them on filing a suit to have the federal government transfer local government allocations directly to democratically elected local government chairmen and not to the state governors anymore. Now that the supreme Court has given a judgment in favor of the federal government transferring local government allocations directly to them the Nigerian people can now hold local their local government chairman accountable for the bad untarred streets dilapidated schools and health centers in their various local governments. This is indeed a huge victory for the Nigerian people. Kudos to President Tinubu for this Victory. He has indeed done well on this.

Thank you, Professor, for saying the truth God will bless you Please, we need to bring more people like you to the media to talk Remain blessed. Prof.

Prof you are 100% correct my brother

Geoffrey demonstrated a high level of Nigerian syndrome. He kept talking about how to administer money but completely forgot to worry about the credibility of the man to whom the money was given. Credibility is the key.

Emilokan rigging election results to be in the office is not the case, but doing the job of the office you rigged election to enter is what matters.

@channel tv the quality of panelists on your program this days are below pal. Why bring the obedient leaning Prof on the program to put a negative narrative to a good news. All we need now is to hold our LG leaders accountable.

Chidi is a very sound man

True talk coming out from the guest mouth God bless you

To me, this prof evidently hear but deliberately deemed it not to listen to the real conversation at hand. Opinions will definitely flow if all we open our heart to is to find negatives from a development.

Prof is Chidi Odinkalu has nail the matters concerns elections in our country in the head it has to do with proper elections 😢😢😢

Revolution now

Did the President really say that if the NLC should go on strike that it will be the time for him to read newspaper? 20:30... That to me is "I don't care attitude"

We should accept the decision of local govt financial autonomy as declared by the supreme Court and the INEC should go ahead and conduct elections in those local government areashould with care taker committees, I don't agree with the Prof.

Nigeria is growing 💗 LET'S GO THERE 🎉

Chidi was visibly disturbed by that fact

This judgement is a proof that when judgement is is pronounced with justice, the nation would widely appreciate it. Even babies unborn are leaping for joy I'm the womb. Unlike the 2023 judgement without justice, where the supposed winners couldn't openly rejoice in shame and guilty conscience, but the supposed loser holds their heads high with pride that his opponent knows what the true position is.

On what ground is he saying that the judgment is irresponsible because is it that normal rule is in order

but on same judgment it was said that local govt have to conduct election and must be elected

Bring okinbaloye back

The whole facts 👍

The judiciary national assembly and states assembly should have financial autonomy as well so that they could be independent Indeed, in a situation where they're not under control of the government of the day to influence the outcome of judgement and the assemblies would play their roll of oversight check of the government activities

Who has benefited more from States stifling local governments than what has been witnessed by governors from lagos to sokoto who resisted it since 1999

The Governor’s ring all the local chairmen

Who will bell the cat?🤔

The man is wasting our time talking trash

Journalists are part of our problem in this country.

Inviting this man to speak on this topic is not a good choice.

CONGRATULATIONS NIGERIAN LOCAL GOVTS!!!

This is a wrong person to bring. You know he is an unapologetic Obidient. He will never see a good things in APC Government.

The producers of this news show must be irked and disappointed by the digressive ramblings of the Professor. The discussion he was brought in for was the judgement on LG financial autonomy, he kept on irritatingly discussing electoral issues. Next time, channels should bring in expert analysts who will stay on the discourse at hand.
