2023 AKOKO NORTH BYE ELECTION
A COMMUNIQUE ISSUED TODAY BY CONCERNED YOUTHS FROM AKOKO NORTH EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
The Concerned youths of Akoko North East Local Government held their first meeting today on the issue of the forthcoming Akoko North Federal Constituency Bye Election.
It is a known fact that the seat of House of Representatives in our federal constituency became vacant following the recent appointment and inauguration of the Incumbent honourable, Bunmi Tunji Ojo (BTO).
While we appreciate the President of Federal Republic for this elevation and promotion, it is pertinent to remind us that it’s is the turn of Akoko North East Local Government to produce the Next MHR in the Federal Constituency.
The Concerned youths in the meeting highlighted the Importance of Honoring the Rotational Arrangement for House of Representatives Positions between Akoko North East and Akoko North West Local Government
Dear People of Akoko North.
We hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. We are writing to emphasize the significance of upholding the rotational arrangement for House of Representatives positions between our two esteemed local governments. Our commitment to this arrangement is crucial for various reasons, which we would like to outline below.
1. Ensuring Fair Representation: The rotational arrangement guarantees equitable representation for both local governments. By periodically alternating the opportunity to hold a House of Representatives position, we ensure that the voices and concerns of each locality are heard and given due consideration in the legislative process. This arrangement serves as a vital mechanism to prevent any potential imbalance or marginalization of one community over the other.
2. Fostering Cooperation and Collaboration: The rotational system encourages collaboration, cooperation, and a sense of shared responsibility between our two local governments. It promotes unity and a spirit of working together for the betterment of both communities. By adhering to this arrangement, we establish a foundation of trust, goodwill, and mutual support, which ultimately leads to stronger ties and successful outcomes for all.
3. Promoting Stability and Consistency: The rotational arrangement provides stability and consistency in the representation of our communities. It allows for long-term planning and the development of strategic initiatives that can span multiple terms. This consistency is essential for effective governance, as it enables lawmakers to better understand their constituents’ needs, build expertise, and develop long-lasting policies and solutions that address the challenges faced by our communities.
4. Preventing Unhealthy Competition: By honoring the rotational arrangement, we avoid unnecessary competition and potential conflicts between our local governments. The desire to secure a House of Representatives position can sometimes lead to tense rivalries and divisions within communities. However, by adhering to the agreed-upon rotation, we foster an environment of unity, cooperation, and healthy competition based on merit and the quality of ideas rather than inter-community rivalries.
5. Upholding Democratic Principles: The rotational arrangement aligns with the fundamental principles of democracy, such as equal representation, fairness, and inclusivity. It ensures that no single local government dominates the political landscape and that all voices have an opportunity to contribute to the decision-making process at the national level. By upholding this arrangement, we reaffirm our commitment to democratic values and principles that are essential for a thriving society.
In conclusion, the rotational arrangement for House of Representatives positions between our two local governments is a fundamental aspect of our cooperative and democratic system. By honoring this arrangement, we promote fair representation, cooperation, stability, and unity, while avoiding unhealthy competition and potential conflicts. Let us stand together in upholding this important commitment for the collective benefit of our communities.
Having said all these,
It’s the turn of Akoko North East.
Ila-Orun Ariwa Akoko lokan!!!
