Ani highlighted the security measures put in place to ensure a smooth process and said the frequency of local government elections—whether every two or four years—was less important than the quality of governance delivered. He stressed that elected leaders must prioritize accountability and service delivery to earn the people’s trust. Kama Nkemkanma, Representative for Ohaozara/Onicha/Ivo Federal Constituency, also expressed optimism following his vote in Ishiagu, Ivo Local Government Area. He observed strong voter turnout and said it reflected genuine public interest in local governance. Nkemkanma expressed confidence in an APC victory while urging all candidates to focus on serving the people rather than partisan gains.
As the collation of results continues, the peaceful nature of the election has reinforced public confidence in Nigeria’s democratic processes, particularly at the grassroots level. The event marks another step toward strengthening local governance and ensuring that communities have a direct say in their development.
