The AGF spoke with State House correspondents after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu

Naturally one will be happy, should be happy. Nigerians are happy about it. I call it Local Government emancipation judgement because it has really emancipated the Local Governments from the shackles of the past and I hope the Local Government officials will seize the opportunity to develop their various Local Governments.

The ball is in the Court of the Governors, let us see what they will come out with but the judgement is clear as to what they should do. The judgement is clear as to what consequences will attach to failure or refusal to follow the judgement of the Supreme Court which takes immediate effect.

- Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi

Good Congratulations to local government areas that their chairmen are not in the same party with the governors. The chairmen will have enough funds to loot, sorry to work with.

Ok

T

This is one of the best judgements given since democracy by the judiciary… LGA can now breath while the governor remove their monkey fingers from LGA allocations…
But all LGA chairmen must be held able for their funds released to them from FAAC and EFCC should me more proactive in handling issues concerning fraud…
There is still a lot to be done but this is a move in the right direction
Governors please let the LGA breath… the era of selection of chairmen is gradually fading away

A good way to start but what we want is Resource control..

And who monitors the local government chairmen to make sure they use the money judiciously and not embezzlements

This man has written his name in Gold.

Let's wait and see

This is surely the way forward.

Not a fan of Tinibu but I give it to him.

Nigeria go better.

Niajeria

Now the LGA elections will now be do or die affairs as they will be in charge as governors in charge of states. Many politicians will no longer care about governorship elections anymore

That ingrate is not only looking like an imbecilic in nature he aslo very ugly with Okpolo eyes.... Foolbara is an ungrafool ingrate

Nigeria we hail thee

Everybody knows I'm not a er of baba Seyi, but if this is being truly implemented and I see a drastic change in all the local governments across Nigeria plus if at least more five policies are made, that will have positive effects on common man on the street, then I'll give him my total and ignore the mandate he stole.

I am for the betterment of the masses, I don't care about individuality, tribes, party or religion.

All I want to see is a better and prosperous Nigeria.

Welcomed development...but i fear for primary school teachers. Now, EFCC go get petitions tire.

I miss the days local governments were active....Their elections hot governorship..And that is where youths in politics have ground to start.
Next is Inec should oversee the electoral process there as well.

Until judiciary spelled the constitution for our governors before they can do the needful

Jagaban, man with the balls of steel. Governors will want to test BAT but All those toothless governors will mellow

The god father himself is Mr President, warning shots fired

Interesting days Ahead

The national assembly should cancel states electoral commission and give it to INEC in the next constitution amendments.

Restructuring 101, clear road for man wey sabi.

Politics is local, we are heading there 💯

Meanwhile, Tinubu economic policies are killing citizens
