Among the different levels of government in the country - federal, state, and local - the local government is the closest to the people. This makes it the most sensitive among the three, as it is responsible for the people at the last chain.

Therefore, the Local Government Chairman should possess great character, virtues and human feelings, as every policy they implement and every project they undertake must be people-friendly and contribute to the development of towns and communities in the local government.

However, over the past years, there has been a significant disconnect between the leaders in the local government and the people. This has resulted in the local government being retrogressive despite enjoying massive support from the state government. The plight of the people has been overlooked, and some leaders, out of their desperation to continue exploiting the people, have disregarded the needs of the community.

It is now a free show of sycophancy and wild support for someone who has not fulfilled a fraction of the promises made to the people prior to becoming the Chairman. The Chairman is not open to receiving queries and has security personnel armed to the teeth, which is surprising for a supposed leader that should be close and receptive to the people.

As the people of Anioma South Local Government call for a new face and representative for the local government, one man stands out as the man of the people. This is not solely because of his strong Christian background as a Bishop, but also due to his consistent benevolence to his people. He has gifted, encouraged, and even done the work of a Local Government Chairman as a private citizen.

It is undeniable that Bishop David Brian's leadership qualities make him a perfect fit for the Chairman position. He is a son of the soil who understands the plights and worries of the people and has always gone a step further to make things better for them, not only as a public servant but also as a citizen who cares for the masses. Imagine how much love and pro-people policies he will implement as the Chairman of the local government if given the opportunity?
