Dr Echem, who made the call in a statement on Thursday, said this has become imperative as the State prepares for Local government elections, adding that they cannot afford to disappoint the people.

Recall also that the inauguration, which took place at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia, came after 10 years since the last local government election was conducted in the state.

Speaking on the development, Dr Echem said the forthcoming local government polls in state represent a significant milestone in its democratic journey and therefore should be conducted with utmost regard for tenets of democracy.
