27 NEW LGA IN OSUN, POLITICS OR DEVELOPMENT?

I love more LGA is all the states of the federation if done right for the purpose of development, but that is hardly the situation. Everything is strictly about politics and political survival.

With the introduction of additional 27 LGA's in Osun state, it would be difficult for another party candidate to defeat Aregbesola in 2014.

Many do think know, Aregbesola was the brain behind more LGA's in Lagos during the tenure of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Lagos State Governor. The reasoning behind such move is that, the existing LGA may not entirely support the Governor due to so many factors, making him open to losing his second term bid, but with the new LGA, they will certainly give him at least 80% loyalty, knowing that their own survival as an LGA is tied to the survival of the governor.

The creation of more LGA's in Lagos then or now in Osun is primarily about winning election not necessarily about development,though, some areas would certainly benefit in terms of slight development.

Using Osun state as an example, there are about 30 LGA's before now, 27 is added making the total 57. This means that, the destiny and survival of these 27 new LGA is tied to that of Governor Aregbe. If he wins, the beneficiaries wins and survive, if he looses, they may also loose their LGA's. This implies that, the people and govt in these 27 new LGA's would support the Governor at all cost to ensure their own survival. Now, If Aregbe already has 80% in the 27 LGA, if he can just 40% in the other 30, he wins. Even in the future, these 27 new LGA's would always stick to the same party knowing that a new party may decided to scarp their LGA. so, its politics and politics.. Only good political strategy can counter Aregbe second term bid.

WOW...FIRST TO COMMENT....INCASE IT MAKES FP

Mr Questionnaire...It's all about development not all about politiking. No one stops your state governor from doing the same, so please stop taking paracetamol for my State.

Committe was set up about 2yrs ago to work on the creation of the local government councils.

God Bless Ijeshaland
God Bless My Governor Ogbeni Aregbesola
God Bless Yorubaland
God Bless Nigeria.

To me, it's all politics because certain revenue allocation also has ties with the number of LGA a state has.

Call it whatever you like, it's all politics but also in a way, it will increase the number of LGA Chairmen and give well defined and checkmated development. Yet, it will only increase the Looting power by 27. No more, No less.

Bros wrong analysis Chief Bisi akande created new local govt before his 2nd term and he lost woefully.u can't combine lagos politics with osun politics.since 1999 lagos has been under one partybt osun had been ruled by two parties
