Former Senate President Bukola Saraki expressed disappointment that the 16 local government areas in Kwara State are now led by chairmen and councillors who lack legitimacy and the people’s mandate.
His remarks followed the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission’s (KWSIEC) declaration of All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates as winners in the local government elections.
KWSIEC chairman Baba Okanla announced that the APC secured all 16 local government chairmanship positions and won all 193 councillorship seats.
Speaking on the development in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, Saraki argued that the people have sent a message to the government that it has not made any significant, positive impact on their lives after 64 months in office.
The ex-governor maintained that the people mobilised themselves to the polling units for Saturday’s local government election but met the absence of electoral officials and shoddy preparations by the electoral body.
He, therefore, hailed the people for standing firm against what he described as deliberately concocted frustrations.
He wrote, “Last Saturday, in a manner that went beyond partisan consideration and gave expression to the protection of community interests, people from Kwara mobilised themselves to the polling units and met the absence of electoral officials and shoddy preparations by the electoral body.
“Whatever results the electoral body eventually declared, our people have sent a clear signal to a government that has not made any significant, positive impact on their lives after 64 months in office. It is a shame that the 16 local government areas now have chairmen and councillors who would be in office without legitimacy and people’s mandate.”
