Local Govt Autonomy. END OF BOLA TINUBU AND HIS ACN GANGS. **NULGE vows to vote out ACN and anything they merge into, in the South West and declares a 3-day warning strike. The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has vowed to mobilise against the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) or any political platform it dissolves to and ensure that the party is voted out of power in the South-West and any other parts of the country because of its open opposition to local government autonomy. NULGE, making the declaration on Friday, in Abuja, also directed its members across the country to commence a three- day warning strike on Monday to register their displeasure at the Senate’s refusal to approve and allow for local government autonomy. Addressing a press conference at the NULGE House, Abuja, NULGE General Secretary, Mr Joshua Irapakob, regretted the opposition of ACN and the governor to local government autonomy, especially the directive given to ACN members in both House of Representatives and the Senate to vote in this regard. He declared that the union will do everything to mobilise and vote against ACN and any governor as well as members of the National Assembly who were against autonomy. “We will mobilise our members in the entire local government areas in the country to vote against ACN completely. If somebody hates you, what do you expect to do? You too should hate the person,” Irapakob said. The NULGE scribe stated that NULGE had done it before against some governors and political office holders, citing the example of a former Nasarawa State governor, Aliyu Akwe Doma who, he claimed, was voted out by the workers against all expectations. He said: “We have so many ways of catching rats. We know that some of these governors are actually against local government autonomy because of the present power they have to exercise on local government council. What we intend to do is that if they refused, any state that will not support local government autonomy, we will mobilise our members against the governors, members of the State House of Assembly in that state, making sure they don’t return.” - Hope For Nigeria .
