Enugu Govt. Has No Plans To Appoint Caretakers In LGs – Commissioner
The Enugu State Government has said that it has no plan to appoint caretaker committees in the 17 local government councils of the state.
Enugu State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr Aka Eze-Aka, made the clarification in a chat with newsmen in Enugu on Wednesday.
He dismissed the rumour making the rounds that the state government was planning to impose transition committees in the local government councils, and advised politicians to desist from peddling rumours capable of heating up the state.
“It is just a build-up anxiety and I think the people should have patience.
“If the election is not going to hold, it will be made known.
“Some people who want to contest the election are becoming too anxious and desperate,’’ he said.
Recall that the Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission, ENSIEC, in October, 2023, released the timetable for the election scheduled to hold in Feb. 24, 2024.
However, rumour has been spreading across the state that the election might not hold as scheduled.
Those expressing doubts over the conduct of the poll have argued that there are no signs of preparations by the Commission.
The tenure of the incumbent council chairmen will expire in March, this year.
