Despite the strong opposition of President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Assembly to the misuse of Local Government Areas (LGA) allocations as well as the stranglehold of state governors on the 3rd tier in Nigeria, the governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed has opted to for Caretaker Chairmen instead of conducting elections into local government areas in the state.
Following the expiration of the tenure of LGA Chairmen in the state, the government should have simply organized a local government election in line with constitutional provision, but the Governor Mohammed, on Wednesday sent a letter to the Bauchi State House of Assembly for confirmation of his newly appointed Caretaker Chairmen-designate.
