We would like to inform the government of Edo state in Nigeria that local governments in Nigeria are autonomous and their chairmen cannot be sacked by any governor. So making a declaration that all local government chairmen and their deputies in Edo state have been sacked is laughable. We want to plead with those godfathers in Nigeria who are installing those they can control into various offices in the country that such dirty games would always create problems for the people because if you install a person who does not know what leadership is all about, then in the long run, such a person is certainly going to ruin the state. We have seen how difficult it was for the Edo state governor to read out the 2025 budget of Edo state, which is so embarrassing. Even if ex-governors who led Edo state were from other communities and now it is the turn of the Esan community in Edo state to present a governor, such arrangement should be done jointly and not one or a few individuals handpicking a candidate of their choice and imposing him on the people of the state. Democracy is a beautiful system because it is government of the people, which allows everyone to make his or her choice, and no candidate should be imposed on the people. However, we are hoping that the Edo state governor in Nigeria would work in the best interest of the people of Edo state without completely dancing to the tune of his godfathers.
