IN the past 18 years of our nascent democracy, one noticeable missing link in the way we operate our kind of democracy is lack of continuity in policy formulation and implementation. More worrisome is the implementation fatigue that plagues most governments in the country. This aberration is prevalent in Federal and State governments irrespective of which political party is in power. The local government, the third tier of government, is consciously left out of this assessment simply because, that level of government exists only in name and not in practice. In reality, most state governors have appropriated the local governments and treat them as their private estates. That is why elections have not been holding in most of the 774 councils in the country. And where there is any semblance of local government election, the party in power, which controls the state electoral umpire, ensures it sweeps all the seats in the poll. Local government election in Nigeria is therefore not competitive. Almost all local government polls, so far conducted in the country by the state electoral umpire, have a uniform pattern of victory in favour of the ruling party. Officers of most local governments are appointed by the state governors. Read on the original site: www.naijcrackgist..nl/2017/03/dividends-and-continuity-of-democracy.html?m=1
