ANAMBARA LGA "Erection",a veer off Course , written by Mkpisi Ndi Egede.
There's a current heat up for Anambara local government erection,which some calls Local Government election,though the name has been modified from Local Government Chairperson to Mayor ,also the Function have been muted and or abridged with legislation caused by the state house of Assembly,where they used meat cleaver and chop the financial bequeath meant for the local government into shreds and heap same with the Governor and his Board, though both the State and LGA Gets funding from one source which is the FEDERAL government,such cumbersome monthly unnecessary act always force the Feds to go borrowing,but that's topic for another day.
Because when we look into such ,we should stand on cutting our Coat according to our cloth and no longer according to our size, focusing on cutting clothes to our size gives us utopian illusion, forces us to live above our STANDARD.
State Assembly are powdering the faces and want of the executive ,for reasons not clear enough for me and many others,as if the despoiling doesn't affect the kits and kin of all house members,but ka ana ejegodi.
The Selection ,erection or election is about to come up again,but it's just one party effort as it is unwritten rules that all the winners must be from the Party in power, even at that, the members of the Party are not permitted to exercise fundamentals voting powers,it must be picked by Parochial Oligarchy working for the Governor.
Which forces other parties to stop wasting resources trying to participate on scheme that has gotten enshrined as Odi na ani.
My confusion is centered on ,why can't the Governor who is a professor change the narrative and make it election for all parties ,that way we can get the best of the Best .
So that the State can sow seed of democracy,as that will enable Youths engage politically and with hopes of getting it right in nearest future.
Enforcing only one party system in our state diminished our resolve to stand against APC which controls the center,as they plan on hosting one party system,if states can enforce one party system,what right do they have to lament about another party in higher echelon using same measure to play at National?.
We all know that what is good for the goose ,is equally good for Gander the Husband or say if na Agû Nwanyi di ime ,na agukwu Nwoke tubara the ime.
This is Democracy and it should be respected,even when it's shaking but it can't be torn to shreds,as it is been done now in my state.
Imagine local government election is coming and the preparation makes it seem like APGA national convention,I can only ask what an Infradig? Not as if the state Party EXCO were involved in the Charade.
Having an academic Czar at the head should incorporate innovations, though Local Government elections in the State has been twisted all the while,either they continue using Transition Chairmen or they held Election that was skewed, but I expect our Professor Governor to live above board and restore balance democracy in the state .
Anambara should lead and other state will fall into place,we are light that illuminate the nation ,we should always be the pathfinder and not the screwed.
This is Mazi Odera POg JP dusting his Hymnal in readiness for Sunday worship,what makes me happy is whenever I tuck my Ekpere na Abu under my armpit,I will be humming like an Angel and if you step on my toes ,I will say God bless you with a Smile ,but don't ask me if that is the end of such infringement after the service.
