[@princeolanrewajuolabode565]

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.

[@ibekevin1111]

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.

[@Ugochukwu-mi5fn]

Prof you are 100% correct my brother

[@chidi-lm1tx]

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.

[@okorogodwin455]

Chidi is a very sound man

[@trippJ866]

True talk coming out from the guest mouth God bless you

[@user-re9ph3pr4y]

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.

[@princepelu2886]

As Biter Obi did the job of not conducting local govt election for almost 8years and put state money in his family account abi? Dey dia dey deceive yourself with lies and propaganda. Tinubu is your president, if you don't like it, goan lay down on the Lagos Calabar coastal road for 8years or better still, hug a moving BRT bus in Lagos 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@EmmanuelMYau]

Nigeria is growing 💗 LET'S GO THERE 🎉

[@ahmedsuleimon6986]

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

[@oluwatosinowolabi6632]

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"

[@chidi-lm1tx]

Do we have a president? 😂 A man who allowed the last minimum wage arrangement to expire in April. Chief enforcer of the law ow now chief breaker of the law.

[@ehimwenmajames347]

Revolution now

[@jimohyinka4895]

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.

[@chidi-lm1tx]

There is no development there whatsoever. It was a deliberate deflection from Tinubu. He is aware that legitimate local council chairpersons will never emerge. Governors will continue to select the council chairpersons. Today, Nwaike was given one of the best ministerial positions because he used Rivers State people's money to rig the election on his behalf.

[@chidi-lm1tx]

Tinubu rewarded an election rigger in the person of Nwaike. All council persons in Rivers were his puppets

[@eseoghenetuoyo1357]

Chidi was visibly disturbed by that fact

[@KingsleyTochukwu-eo4yr]

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

[@nwaokorocelestine1563]

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

[@KingsleyTochukwu-eo4yr]

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

[@emmanuelokeyibezim877]

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.

[@folushoaluko6256]

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

[@amosalaphu8943]

The whole facts 👍

[@susanjohn7437]

The Governor’s ring all the local chairmen

[@Adefortnite]

Bring okinbaloye back

[@nwaokorocelestine1563]

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.

[@olajideoriade7463]

@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.

[@ibekevin1111]

@ Olajide, you will never want to hear the truth This country will perish because of all your lies.

[@jomorod4275]

The guy talked on two points legetimacy of people elected and the manner in which judgement are appointed now would you say both claims are false? If don't clean up the process you just keep going round in circle it is that simple. Yaradua once admitted that the process that brought him were flawed and set in motions process that could lead to reforms

[@chidi-lm1tx]

I do not know where you live but if you have lived anywhere outside of Nigeria surely you would not have made that statement. Nigeria is disintegrating before our eyes every day, yet we do not care. You do not care about legitimacy?????? Yet you want to celebrate the outcome of a corrupt Supreme Court judgement that would not see the light of the day. The chief of corruption, Tinubu wants to use this nonsense to divert the attention of people from his failing government and you have fallen for it. I am sorry!

[@charlesokuonghae2988]

Who will bell the cat?🤔

[@chimaihesiulor2428]

Journalists are part of our problem in this country.

[@ukptvee]

The man is wasting our time talking trash

[@chidi-lm1tx]

I can understand why you felt like that. If the foundation is faulty nothing good can come out of it. 😂😂Unless we change our ways, our dear country will evaporate in our hands. Illegitimacy can never produce legitimacy. All over the world, local council elections are the foundation of development. From there national politicians emanate.

[@user-fb7uk1oj1s]

Please stop smoking weeds and commenting nonsense

[@halimaarabibuba5085]

CONGRATULATIONS NIGERIAN LOCAL GOVTS!!!

[@ehiabhiinnocent]

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

[@chidi-lm1tx]

It is the best thing that has happened on Nigerian television since I was born. Tinubu deliberately stirred the mucky waters to divert attention from his failed government. 😂 Hope can a corrupt person manage 😢anything for the good of the people???? If you want LGAs to work then you elect credible people. If you want Nigeria to work then you elect credible people. Today, people are billionaires because they were once governors. 😮 Shame on all of you

[@Thisisteeice]

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.

[@lajuwomiogo-oluwa8076]

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