INTRODUCTION

1.1  BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The Millennium Development Goals is a policy made by a group of developed communities in order to promote the relegated face of our economic, social and political status to the level of quality advancement. The use of thuggery during elections has rampaged the little development which has been achieved through this policy. The policy on its own is useless without the right framework to execute it at the right time and in the right place. The process of electing, these leaders into the various political offices has been a major problem we are facing in Nigeria in general and in Ofu local government, in particular due to the nature and practice of politics in these areas with great demand, and threat on the innocent citizens to comply with the game of rigging. Before the advent of political thuggeries, Nigerians have been conducting unsuccessful elections with response to rigging and other electoral, misconduct. It must be put into cognizance that no policy and true development which will promote our socio-cultural, economic and political values will take place without giving the citizens the right priviledge and practical right to vote for the person they feel best to lead them and also control the use of political thuggery through more ‘’iron hands’’

The millennium development goals policy will work for Nigeria, Kogi State and Ofu local government area if only the federal, state and local government, should take security on the priority of their agenda during and after election for this insecurity, has caused a lot of huma and material damages, to our society as a whole. Since these local. We could have complimented this massive silent, and open murder if we are practicing the military systems of government where legal and illegal force is used without questions. But to think of this barbaric and disputations, act of so called bloody armed civilians who act as military men under the core of democracy is a political sympathetic discord ‘’Abdulsalami (2007) on this note, I referred to our democracy, to a tyrant democracy’’ that is force and unity. There is need to work hard towards the practice of real democracy whereby these will be an atmosphere of free and fir election that will enhance the implementation of policies including the millennium development goal policy among other which will result to true development (Bottom-top) and changes our identify from been a state of an under developed country to the state of a developed country among others.

The millennium development goal are series of eight time bound goals that seek to address the issue of poverty, education, gender quality, health and the environment among others to be achieved with a unified agreement by the international community at the United Nations Millennium submit, held in New York on 8th September, 2000 within a specific time frame (2015) Oladimeji (2004:31) this time set is expected to be ok for (his programme to enhance development but the political nature (instability) and politics in Nigeria with the use of thugs stand as an obstacle to the achievement of these goals in 2005 in Nigeria which the outcome, will produce a historical landmark development; as such, the government should do all they could to eliminate the use of political thuggeries during before and after elections in Nigeria and in Ofu precisely.
