The Inter-Party Advisory Council has cautioned political merchants against meddling in the upcoming Rivers State local government elections, scheduled for October 5.
Dantalle highlighted that elections are the cornerstone of democracy, especially at the local government level, which is closest to the people. The council reiterated its proposal to the National Assembly to abolish State Independent Electoral Commissions and have the Independent National Electoral Commission oversee all local government elections.
IPAC stated, “Nigerians are united in their desire to foster sustainable democracy and development and will resist any attempt to subvert, truncate, or destabilize our hard-earned democracy. It is time for Nigerians to stand on the side of sustainable democracy.“Elections are the essence of democracy, particularly at the third tier of government, which is closest to the people. Local Government elections must be supported and encouraged by all advocates of representative governance in Nigeria.
