In a statement by the State Chairman of PDP, Hon. Augustine Nnamani, the party congratulated its candidates for emerging victorious at the polls.

Is anyone Surprised?

If a state govt controlled electoral commission continues to see to LG elections, then the party in power in the state would always sweep the polls except for some states where opposition is alive like say Kano, Imo, Benue, Adamawa, Abia, etc.

But I don't think this makes sense considering that the LGs is a constitutional entity.

Though it's completely ridiculous to suggest INEC takes over LG polls because of how overwhelming it would be, I don't think the current arrangement suffices.

The Local government being the closest to the people should be made vibrant enough.

I don't know what happened to the financial autonomy PMB was pushing to grant them.

Let their funds go to them. Some good ones will utilize the funds appropriately and execute people oriented projects like some rural roads and water projects just like we have with state governors where we find some performing and others embezzling.

Currently I think Local Governments only exist in the books with no real significance to the ordinary citizen.

These are reforms we should push for.

But lousy fools would rather want to waste their destiny away defending a disastrous Buhari and his evil party of lies and continuous lies and propaganda.

Although Enugu is a full PDP state. Even in the Guber election last year the PDP candidate had over 400k votes while APC had just 10k votes.

LG elections shouldn’t be held by state govts. They always rig their party people in
