The Abia state chairman of the APC, Hon. Donatus Nwankpa has accused the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in the state of being afraid to face it at the local government election.
He alleged that the state governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has refused to fix a particular date for the conduct of local government election to take place but rather making use of caretaker committee, emphasizing that the use of caretaker committee to run the local governments is alien to the constitution.
He stated this in a chat with ABN TV in Umuahia on Monday.
He described as nebulous comment the governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s pronouncement that the local government election in the state will take place between now and September without a definite date and timetable.
“Caretakerism is an aberration at all levels. The constitution made it clear that a democratic system of administration of local government is guaranteed by the constitution. Any other thing any other person is doing is illegality” he added.
He challenged the governor to fix a date for local government election in the state to see the performance of APC as a testament for what will be expected in 2023.
