The Local government elections are here again in Edo State and contestant are jogging for nominations. However, it looks like it is only the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN that is making preparations while the other parties are yet to present their aspirants. PDP which is the party are the Federal Level and former rulers in Edo State are slow to present their aspirants. This lack of interest does not mean well for our democracy. The people are refusing to contest in the other parties. They believe that the seating state government will write the results of the local government elections  at the government house. They point to the election conducted by the PDP government under Lucky Igbinidion where PDP candidates will score 100,000 votes against 5 for the opposition ANPP. As you are all aware, most of ACN members are all former PDP members.
