Governor Ichalla Wada threatened that any political appointee (Commissioners and Advisers) who did not deliver his/her ward in today’s Local Government Council election would be relieved of his/her post.
This statement opened a floodgate of challenges for the political appointees to use any means available to them to deliver their wards each or risk losing their appointment. And for this delivery to be sustained, the use of fraud, thuggery, violence and malpractices were employed.
The boss must be pleased. That is why there was no election held today, as I can testify, in Alloma, Ofu LGA, Kogi State and perhaps everywhere.
The contest of the opposition parties with PDP in today’s Local Government Council elections and their chances of winning is, in my view, the sword of Damocles, an impossibility. I am no pessimist, but working with the antecedents and the threat of the governor, the possibility of the opposition parties’, especially ACN winning the election is a shot in the dark.
Governor Wada has really come to kill the state, the electoral system and the government.
