In a move that reflects the evolving needs of the community, a group known as the ‘Six Wards Stakeholders’ has unanimously decided to adopt a two-tenure system for the position of elected Council Chairman.
This decision marks a departure from the long-standing tradition of a one tenure system.
The press statement, signed by prominent members such as Geoffrey Francis Zamandabo, Kyauta John, Alfred Felix Tokan, and others, highlights the deliberations that took place during a meeting at the official residence of the Local Government Council Vice Chairman in Goran Sagwaza.
The meeting aimed to review the request from Zonkwa Constituency (5 wards) regarding the two-term tenure for the Local Government Chairman.
After careful consideration and a thorough examination of the current one tenure system agreement, the stakeholders have decided to inform the party (PDP), electorates, and the general public of their unanimous acceptance and support for the two tenure system, starting with Zonkwa Constituency.
The stakeholders believe that this decision is not only democratic but also constitutional. They are confident that it will provide the Council Chairmen with the necessary time and opportunity to effectively implement their programs and projects.
The collective agreement reached within the stipulated time frame demonstrates the unity and commitment of the stakeholders towards the progress and development of the local government.
