Only in our type of federal system of Government that Constitution recognizes Local Government as the third tier of Government.
This is against the principle of federalism as borrowed from America model.
We should stop confusing ourselves thereby compounding our very bad situation. Why is it difficult for us to accept that our present ‘unitary ‘ federalism is not working and merely feeding bottle arrangement to share oil revenue . Are we thinking of our children generation or do we think they will live in foreign land forever?
President Tinubu should know better ! Senate should pay more attention in devolution of power to the federating Units . Federal Government is overloaded with enormous resources and power that everybody wants federal appointments and jobs ,alas for consumption. Businesses are over-taxed in order to fund our unsustainable Federal ‘ unitary’ system of Government, perhaps feed the unquenchable appetite for consumption of our federal public servants.
The present picnic will surely end someday. Power is transient !
This position does not support the irresponsibility of some Governors who have refused to respect the existing 1999 constitution. They should conduct Local Government election and insist that a new constitution be birthed for a productive and competitive system of Government. Ndubuisi,GGM
