The present Chairman of Boki Local Government Area has failed to meet the expectations of the people and does not deserve a second term in office. Since 1999, Boki has had different people occupy the chairmanship position, yet the present administration has raised serious questions about leadership, zoning, roads, revenue management and peace in the local government.
At a time when Boki needs a leader who can unite the people and create opportunities for the younger generation, the chairman's leadership has become a source of concern. Rather than building bridges across the various communities, Boki needs leadership that promotes unity and gives every ward a fair chance to participate in governance.
The issue of zoning remains one of the biggest concerns. Since 1999, Boje Ward has produced a chairman twice, while Abo, Alanku, Ekpashi, Kakwagom/Bawop and Ogep wards have never produced a chairman.
This situation raises an important question: why should some wards continue to remain outside the chairmanship arrangement for so many years? The people of these wards also deserve the opportunity to produce a chairman and contribute to the development of Boki.
Allowing the chairmanship to remain in Boje Ward again would further deepen concerns about fairness and equal opportunities. A child who is ten years old today could grow into adulthood without seeing a chairman emerge from some of these wards if the situation continues.
Boki Local Government Area has resources, but the people deserve to see those resources translated into meaningful development. Revenue management must be transparent, and the people must be able to see the benefits of the money available to the local government.
The allegation that billions of naira from Boki's allocation are being signed back to the governor to secure a second-term ticket is a serious matter that requires clear answers and supporting evidence. Public funds should serve the interests of the people, not become a bargaining tool for political ambition.
The condition of roads across Boki is another major concern. From Okundi to other parts of the local government, the state of the roads has made movement difficult for residents. Road development should be a priority because good roads support farming, business, transportation and the general welfare of the people.
Peace and security also remain critical issues. The conflicts involving Boje, Iso-Bendeghe and Nsadop, including the incidents of June 2025 and August 2026, demand serious attention, dialogue and effective leadership. The people need a chairman who can bring communities together and work towards lasting peace.
Boki cannot afford leadership that deepens divisions when the people need unity. The chairman's responsibility is to serve every ward and community fairly, regardless of political differences or personal interests.
The chairmanship of Boki LGA is not anybody's inheritance. It is a public position meant to serve the people. No individual should treat it as personal property or assume that occupying the office automatically gives them the right to another term.
The youths of Abo, Alanku, Ekpashi, Kakwagom/Bawop and Ogep deserve a fair opportunity. Their communities should not continue to wait indefinitely while the same ward keeps producing the chairman.
Boki needs a leader who understands the importance of zoning, can manage public resources responsibly, improve roads, promote peace and unite the people. Leadership should be measured by service, fairness and development, not by the desire to remain in office.
The people of Boki deserve better. A second term should not be treated as an entitlement. It should depend on performance, fairness and the ability to serve the entire local government.
Boki needs a youth, a unifier and a leader who will put the interests of the people first, not a leader who burns bridges and leaves communities divided.
