By Usman Aliyu
Ilorin, Nov. 7, 2016 (NAN) The Kwara chapter of Inter-Parties Advisory Council (IPAC) has appealed to the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC) to conduct the local government election without further delay.
This is contained in a statement jointly signed by the Chairman, Secretary and Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Abdulrahman Omotosho, Yinka Adepoju and Comrade Abdulmumini Onagun respectively on Monday in Ilorin.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Gov. Abdulfatah Ahmed had on Friday dissolved the local government councils in the state following the expiration of their three years tenure.
IPAC said the failure to conduct local councils’ election was unacceptable to it.
The statement noted that IPAC was not comfortable with the delay in the conduct of local government election in the state.
It advocated for a stakeholders’ meeting on the issue so that the council elections would be conducted without further delay. (NAN)
