E better make FG control am. Our state governors are the most useless and shameless sets of politicians in this country. Now we all realize the power our lawmakers wield. If used for good, There may yet be hope for Nigeria. Let us vote carefully in the future and move for a recall of any non-performing senator/HOR member.

Bullsheet move! Is this not the same INEC that dubiously foisted the current President on the Nigerian people? This is why all of these criminals in office need to be completely removed and done away with, and all laws enacted reversed. They violate the very Constitution upon which the Nation was established as they see fit all to rule as they see fit. How can Nigerians sit back like zombies as their lives and futures are trampled upon by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens? undecided

I culled when Lagos State did theirs, the link is further down. Local Government would have been far better if not for this polithiefcians. How can 36 people in person of governors hold 200 million Nigerians to Ransome. This nonsense must stop

It is therefore in line with this Constitutional Provision that the Lagos State House of Assembly established the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) through Law No. 15 of November 27, 2001.The Commission was consequently inaugurated on 22nd January, 2002 by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the then Governor of Lagos State.

The Commission at inception, operated at the Women Development Centre, Agege and the Lagos State School of Nursing and Mid-wifery, Ikoyi, before it relocated to its present headquarters at 2, Birrel Avenue, Sabo-Yaba, on Monday, 15th April, 2002.

1. Is it better than to have one corrupt person and party holding the entire nation to ransom at pretty much all 3-tiers of the Government? Last I checked, the FG has been accused of doing the same using INEC for, almost all 25 years of this democracy. So, I don't see how it makes sense to now hand LG elections directly into the hands of the same FG. undecided

2. Yes, every state in Nigeria is meant to have a SIEC commission. That oversees state-level elections similarly to INEC at the national level. undecided

It's all about constitution amendments. SIEC needs to go, this governor's have done more harm. Same local government chairmen that brought governors to power were all sacked by those governors. Same governors decide which local government gets what and not.

Tinubu should put this governor's in their places and correct that nonsense Obasanjo did💯
