Senator Ohuabunwa regretted that despite the growing clamour for full financial autonomy for LGAs in the country those who benefit from the current system have made its realisation difficult.

He commended the Abia State Independent Electoral Commission, ABSIEC for the peaceful conduct of the exercise in his ward and expressed optimistism that the election would also be peaceful through out the state.
