Anambra state Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor has lauded ndị Anambra over the peaceful conduct of the local government elections held today, September 28, 2024.
Dr Mefor, who spoke to newsmen
in an interview at Ǹkwọ Agbaja Hall, Abatete, Idemili North Local Government
Area, after monitoring various polling units in various communities of the
state, expressed satisfaction over the impressive turnout of people to cast
their votes.
"You can see for
yourselves that there is impressive turnout of voters. From the reports we got
all over the state; because we have our people on ground. The reports we are
getting from them are confirming that the turnout was fair enough because we
didn't expect any less.
"But let me quickly add
that I am glad to be part of this history. History is made today. For 11 years
and counting, there was no local government election in Anambra State. And
Governor Soludo promised in his manifesto that one of the things he will do on
assumption of office is to conduct local government election and that he has
done.
"For me, that is a major
promise kept and I think also that this tier of government is very fundamental
if you want to talk about good governance, delivery of democracy dividends at
the grassroots, we should have a viral, active, performing local government
system. That is what professor Soludo is working on. I'm happy that this has
happened at last," he said.
