Waiting to run out the 30 days is yet another sign of unwillingness by Mr President to give Nigeria a reformed electoral framework. If there are still misgivings on any aspect of the bill, amendments may be introduced at a later stage,\u201d the communique reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Governors frowned at the duplicity, inconsistency, insincerity of the APC-led federal government on the fuel subsidy regime, which has been badly and corruptly administered. The figures of consumption ascribed to Nigerians appear fictitious and bloated. We call for a proper investigation to be conducted on this matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Forum welcomed the court decision on Police Trust Fund deductions from the federation account, a suit at the instance of Rivers State, and urged the federal government to stop similar unconstitutional deductions from the federation account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the same vein, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission should expedite action on the new Revenue Allocation formula in such a way as to increase allocation to states and local government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Forum once again deplored the way and manner the CBN is being run as an alternate government, indeed, a government within a government. It is time to streamline its functions and processes to be constitutionally compliant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Forum once again decried the opaque nature of NNPC operations. We call for accountability and reconciliation of NNPC remittances into the federation account.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The opposition party governors also asked the national assembly to use the ongoing constitutional amendment to ensure that more powers are delegated to the states and local governments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis opportunity to rejig the framework for policing and securing Nigeria should not be missed,\u201d the governors said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo this end, the Forum would set up a Panel of Consultants to have a thorough look at the security architecture of Nigeria and make recommendations. The Governors also urged the National Assembly to transfer some items from the Exclusive Legislative List to Concurrent List.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to &#8220;immediately&#8221; sign the revised electoral act amendment bill into law.
