“Following the expiration of your tenure as transition committee chairman, you are hereby directed to handover the affairs of your local government council to the head of local government administration (HLGA), in your respective local government councils.

Henzodaily.ng reports that Anambra is one of the Nigerian states where the transition committee has become a norm.
The last local government election was held by the former governor, Peter Obi, a few weeks before the expiration of his second tenure.
As a result, opposition parties and major stakeholders had been calling for elections into the local government system, arguing that state governors had stifled the local government system through transition committee chairmen.
