The Akwa Ibom State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr Mike Igini, has described local government elections in Nigeria as organised crime and mere “coronation ceremonies.

”Speaking on a, the REC observed that Nigerians had lost the 744 local governments in the country to sitting governors, who always insisted on having joint accounts with the third tier of government.

“Don’t call them local government elections; they are nothing but organised crime or coronation ceremonies carried out across the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But Nigerians are not doing anything about it; and you have lost your local governments because there is no democracy taking place there. “Once this happens, that will be the end of the control of local government funds through the joint accounts because party A, B and C will not allow the money of its local government area to be hijacked by any sitting government or the controlling party.”

The shadow election just to confirm the governors appointees mostly their senior political thugs. I concur it's fraud.

It is never election but selection by the governor of the state which some governor's suspend them when they are not playing their card in favour of the gov, which by Constitution no governor have right to suspend an elected LGA chairman but gov, wike of River State just did it

I guess same for inec elections

Truer
