A few days ago the Edo State House of Assembly sacked the
care taker committee set up by the Comrade Governor to Administer the state for
the four years of his first term. Although many people are now referring to
this episode as the most undemocratic era Edo State has witnessed since the
dawn of democracy in 1999. They argued that Comrade Adams who can easily be referred
to as one of Nigerians custodian/pillar of democracy should not be associated
with the undemocratic rule in the third tier of government. Well the main
concern of this write up is the information the ACN members are spreading all
over Edo State that there will be no local government elections in Edo State. That
what is been proposed is going to be a kangaroo election. They said the Comrade
Governor and the leadership of their party will write the RESULTS of the
election at the government house. My first reaction was to mobilise all other
parties to boycott the said elections, but I realise that this great forum the EDO POLITICAL
FORUM, EPF should take a stand on the side of the people. My suggestion is that
this noble body should form a very powerful committee to monitor the proposed
local government elections and electoral process. Please it you do not have meaningful
contribution please just waka pass oh.
