Embattled Anambra State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr Tony Collins Nwabunne has been asked to stay away from creating problems in the once peaceful Nimo Community of Anambra State by supporting a group disobeying the orders of a court.
This call was made by a group known as Nimo Citizens for Good Governance at the conclusion of their last meeting during which they discussed among other things the ongoing issues with Nimo Town Union Government.
In December 2023, the group recalled, Commissioner Nwabunwanne set aside the Constitution of Nimo Town and the constitutionally appointed Electoral Body and conducted what they called a kangaroo election for Nimo, despite warnings that he neither had the rights nor the powers to overrule the Constitution for the purpose of installing those the group described as his friends as Town Union officers.
The group also alleged that the Commissioner’s move as a government official was self-serving and fueled by a promise of political support.
