@AMILOADED
The State Government of Osun has declared Thursday and Friday January 25 and 26, 2018 as public holiday.


This, according to a statement issued on Wednesday by Sola Fasure, media adviser to the state governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola made available to Amiloaded correspondent said this is to enable Osun residents prepare for and participate in the Local Government Parliamentary Election scheduled to hold on Saturday January 27, 2018.


The statement quoted Governor Aregbesola as urging the people of the state to enthusiastically exercise their civic duty by participating in this historic parliamentary election into local governments, the first of its kind in any state of Nigeria.


He also admonished them to be orderly, law abiding and conduct themselves peacefully, for the exercise to be successful.


He assured all of the preparedness of the state electoral commission to conduct a hitch-free, credible, free, fair and transparent election that we will all be proud of.


Law enforcement agencies are also ready and put on alert to protect lives and property and prevent breach of the peace and disruption of the election.


Governor Aregbesola encouraged the winners to be magnanimous in victory and the losers to be gallant in defeat.


He wished all a happy holiday and a successful and peaceful election.

He was in power for 7 good years. Now he's leaving, he gave them state commissioners. He is leaving, he's conducting local govt elections. IF Aregbesola actually meant well for Osun state, should he be doing this now of all times that he has less than 10 months to vacate the office? These politicians will start dying one after the other very soon one day for using the destinies of masses that voted them in with their lives to play LUDO. How could he be this heartless? And he's still busy paying half salary. My sister, who is a matron in the state just told me like 20mins ago that they received half of the Dec salary just last week. People actually celebrated XMAS and NEW YEAR without salary? WICKEDNESS!!!!!!!!

The election will be rigged in favour of APC but the next governor will dissolve them.

The election is more of the more you look the less you see. The state government already know how they will manipulate and put their stooges as chairmen of local government.
The country still have a lot to do in terms of local government governance. most of the state governors don't allow the local governments to functions they hardly fund them. local government only function mostly in places like Lagos.

IGR? In Osun state. Take it from me man, ''If he doesn't pay the half salary he pays, he can't tax the workers and there is no single IGR''. 95% of Osun state IGR comes from tax after paying half salary. I am not mixing words it is the fact.

Why are all the states suddenly rushing to conduct local govt elections? Is it because INEC wants to take over? Even states that have not done local govt eldctions in 10 years are suddenly doing so. Na wa for this country o.
