Politics › There Is Nothing Call LGA Election Again In Nigeria by adefitim(op): 8:35am On Sep 05, 2023
Let us tell ourselves the truth about local government administration.

I saw results of the local government elections in Edo state where PDP won all the 18 local government chairmanship seats but that was the only expectation and no other way for people who are sincere to themselves.

Has Obaseki performed in office to earn his party victory at the polls? No.

But is it only in Edo state that we all know the outcome of local government elections way ahead of time? No.

With the exception of Kaduna state where opposition party won a few seats, what we call local government election in Nigeria is the most embarrassing fraud I have seen in our democratic process.

But here is the background:

The sequence was the natural process of conducting elections in the local government council areas first, then the state and finally federal since pre-independence until PDP became the ruling party in 1999.

Let me not bore you with lengthy history but let us use the 1999 transition to civil rule as an example.

On Dec 5, 1998, elections were conducted all over Nigeria into the local government councils. On Jan, 9, 1999, elections took place for the state houses of assembly and governors and on Feb 27, 1999, the national assembly and the presidential elections was held.

But in an attempt to sustain PDP in power for as long as it is possible, this commonsensical process was stopped and Obasanjo with the National Assembly brought the cart before the horse and so presidential election was to be held first and then state and finally local government elections. 😆

The thought was that the party should only get to win the federal election and the 'victory' will trickle down to every state, local government area and ward as much as possible.

While I fully support that INEC should not be the body that should continue to conduct local government elections, the conduct of the various state independent electoral commission has been a curse to our democracy and electoral process than a blessing.

Let me give you examples and without being partisan.

If local government elections are conducted in Kano state today, Ganduje's APC will not win his ward. Is he not still popular and accepted in his ward?

If today, local government elections are conducted in Ekiti state, Segun Oni's SDP will lose in Ifaki yet that was the party that gave us in APC a run for our money just last year.

And in Abia state where the party from heaven rules, if elections are conducted today to local councils, Orji Uzor Kalu will lose his ward even if LP presents a man or woman of no political value.

But if APC won at the court and NNPP governor is removed and local government elections are conducted, the same Kwankwaso that is a movement in Kano will not win his ward.

In Ekiti, if by any magic, SDP gets to power, Niyi Adebayo, Kayode Fayemi and Ayo Fayose , Biodun and Oyebanji will all not win in their respective ward talk less of Sunday Wale Adeniran winning his ward or even polling unit.

That is the deceit we all call local government election.

So those who argue that we are running a two-tier government are also right because as far as I know, local government councils are a mere extension of governor's office either the chairmen are "elected ' or chosen as caretaker chairmen.

That is why a chairman is sanctioned in Ogun state for asking for his local government fund but a governor can not be so treated if he did same to the president.

But until local government administration is given life, the Nigerian people will continue to live a life that does not measure up to our endowment and that it the truth.

Because in the not too far past, local government councils were constructing drainages, grading roads, running functional local health centers etc at the grassroot where people only see their councillors and chairmen while the big men stay in the various state capitals.

And for local government autonomy to come to play, at least 24 state houses of assembly must pass the Bill after it's been passed by the House of Representatives.

And that is where the problem lies. The state houses of assembly are also not free to take such important decision by themselves and so except the governor approves it, no state house of assembly will pass it and that is just the naked truth.

How then do we make local government administration functional for the benefit of Nigerians?

All thanks to Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi for pushing judiciary to this level of unprecedented.

Henceforth, every politician will now make sure they don’t have skeletons in their cupboard or at least get their asses together if they don’t want to face what Tinubu is facing now.

It’s a win-win for Nigeria 🇳🇬
