    I really feel so sorry for Tai Local Government. No little consideration is accorded her in terms of appointive positions; The L.G.A. has neither a commissioner nor an adviser. Does Governor Wike think Tai is politically weak to be considered? What about the contributions she made in the past? I think she has a right to benefits from any of the political appointments, after all PDP still has overwhelming support in the L.G.A.. This neglect is capable of dampening the morale of these supporters.
