Default Re: Council Of State, Electoral Reform And Ohakim



i-go-better,
The chairman of Owerri urban council should only be glued to his seat sharing local government allocations while the state governor takes over the cleaning of Owerri. Is that what youy meant? It is like suggesting that President Yar'Adua should devote a good portion of his energies and Nigeria's resources keeping Abuja clean.
The former PDP-led government in the state could not be blackmailed into this travesty of the constitution. Immagine the state governor devoting his time and the state's resources overseeing to the refuse disposal needs of all the 27 loocal government areas in the state.

Issue is that events leading to Ohakim's enthronment to the governorship position in Imo state had him constrained to struggle to gain the confidence of a section of the jetsams and floatsams in the state capital at the detriment of the vast majority of the population of the state. This is how Imo people paid dearly for the prolonged legal tussles.

We must stop this policy of one-city-state in Imo state where other areas outside the state capital remain glorified villages more than 32 years after the creation of Imo state.
