The Kwara State government, on Wednesday, restated its readiness to conduct local government elections in the state.
This clarification followed an allegation by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party that the ruling All Progressives Congress -led state government planned to delay the conduct of the local government poll till 2025.
“We condemn in strong terms, the attempt to alter section 20 of the LG Law to increase notification of the election date by KWASIEC from the existing ninety days to three hundred and sixty days. If this bill is passed into law the LG elections will automatically be shifted to the year 2025.
“Like a drowned man clinging to a straw at the bank of a river, the PDP has suddenly associated itself with a judgement obtained by Non -Governmental group which is on Appeal at the Supreme Court. We admonished the PDP to consult with its lawyers on the process of appeal at the Supreme court and stop misleading the public that the state government has not filed any brief at the apex court.
“It is also absurd that the PDP which claimed that no one has seen the copy of amendment to the Local Government Bill before the House of Assembly at the same time claimed that there are plans to shift the Local Government elections to 2025. What a confusion by a rejected party! “Kwarans will never forget the PDP for the launch and commissioning projects that never got completed by the PDP administration. Such uncompleted projects include Ilesha- Baruba Road, KWASU campuses in Ilesha- Baruba and Osi.
