"When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable" ~ Myles Munroe
It time we ask whoever is going to preside over our local government to come out and tell the people the purpose and function of local government as enshrined in the Nigeria constitution.
Too many avoidable blunders have been made in Okehi local government but swept under the carpet. Time to carry the public along in the happenings of Okehi is now. It is called public office so all our activities must be made public to the good people of Okehi.
The poor don't live in functional market economies as the rest of us do, but in political economies where corruption and broken systems extend from local government to moneylenders.
Under the Local Government Act 1989, the function of local government is very broad. Sections 1 and 3A of the Act states that local government’s purpose is ‘…the peace, order and good governance…’ of their municipal district.
In practice, this means that individual councils could determine what they need to do to ensure “... peace, order and good governance…” of their municipalities.
We the people of Okehi can not continue in the same way we choose leaders and expect to get a different result.
Local government chairman role is very important and significant and we cannot afford to choose a person who does not feel what the people of Okehi local government are feeling.
A Local government Chairman in a layman man language, is one who brings government close to the people and relate with the people to know what they need, why they need it, and when it should be delivered to them.
No good governance if our local governments are not fixed to meet up with the current change in the state.
Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow comrades, Please allow me introduce to you, Hon. Bello Muhammed Sadiq Enyi (BMS).
This young comrade, a man with great vision for Okehi LGA, who is passionate and concern about changing the current state of Okehi local government.
I was honored when he came to me and said,
"Okehi is a blessed local government but we need a progressive minded, talented and skillful youth to champion the cause of our local Government for our generation and the coming ones". This is what captivate me and am asking the great youths and the people of Okehi LGA to join us to rescue our Local Government from decay.
After due consultations, BMS has presented himself to spearhead the Youths Movement into the apex office of the Okehi Local Government Area.
