Presidential monologue (20)

have concentrated on the autonomy aspect.

Therefrom is the issue of autonomy. The latter amounts to functional independence of the local government, concerning constitutionally guaranteed functions. In a proper federation, it ought to be a creation of the region or state party to the federal covenant. Today, the prevailing local structures in Nigeria are the arbitrary creation of the military out of its hegemonic, whimsical, patronising, and acquisitive mentality.

The Nigerian constitutional history ran along a federal framework based on the dominant nationalities with expressed concern for the minorities which the Willinck Commission of 1957 sought to address.

The autonomisation of the existing local governments is not so much about the abuse of local government funds by state governments, permitted by the state-local government joint account, where allocation to local government is domiciled, rather it is about reifying the arbitrary creations of the military for cheating on the federal resource pool. Little wonder that local governments across the country, with a few exceptions, merely exist only in the constitution without physical manifestation.

Woman and Family Advancement Initiative , an NGO, has called on the Federal Government to allow the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct national, state and local government elections.
