 While the Labour Party has decried the delay of local government council elections as the state and feared the state government has restricted funds for grassroots development. Suspended National Publicist Secretary of the Labour Party Abhayomi Arambambi, under the leadership of Lamidia Papa, said the funding the area council promotes developmental activities that contribute to the overall interest of the state. Arambambi, in a press conference in Abuja, said the Labour Party was no longer comfortable with the continued denial of the aerial council of democratic representation and leadership at the local government council level. Labour Party therefore warned that if the Paeta State Independent Electoral Commission by itself failed to issue a notice to commence the process of local government election before July ending 2023, Labour Party will resort to peaceful civil protest aimed at pressurizing the governor to do the needful. This civil action will not only be peaceful but resolute in our pursuit of electoral justice and democratic representation for the people of Bahia State, a world is enough for the wise. The importance of local government in ensuring democratic representation for the people at the grassroots level cannot be over-emphasized and the people of Bahia State particularly those at the grassroots itself elected office.
