I think they’re constitutionally supposed to be very independent just like INEC but politicians have killed all the systems. If Buhari can achieve that, Nigeria will never forget him.

Please don't..... These people will abuse it.. They will use it to their own advantage.... We know these people that well..

For this to truly work... The state houses of assembly MUST BE TRULY INDEPENDENT. Local govt elections must be conducted while d purse of d LGA should be OUTSIDE d governors CONTROL.
