Why Buhari’s executive order on state legislative autonomy may be difficult to implement — Oyo Deputy Speaker
He previously worked as a television producer at NTA Abuja after which he became the special adviser on legislative matters to the majority leader, House of Representatives, 2011 to 2015.
I am sure that you are aware that major thing we are here to do is to make laws for the good governance of the state apart from our oversight functions. That is what we have been doing in the last one year. But the most important is that when the executive sent in a letter requesting for a loan, what we usually do is to scrutinise such letter and what do I mean by that, to look at the essence of the loan. Now in governance, there are two things to it, some loans are meant for consumption, some are meant for development of government polices, be it in health sector or infrastructural development or energy sector, it could be in area of agriculture.
Just recently in the course of celebration of his one year in office, the Governor flagged it off, if you go there now, you will see the signboard. So as a lawmaker representing my people in Ona Ara, and I hear such thing that they want to do, so, I will turn the executive down that I am not going to allow it, who does that?
Now, if we want to ask, is it implementable? That is the question we need to ask, that is why I said, that the timing, is it political or not? The financial autonomy for the state house of assembles is beyond just being independent. The major part of it is the financial aspect of it.
