An octogenarian, Mrs Kemi Rabiu has said winners that emerged from Saturday’s Local Government Area administrations in Lagos State must fulfill their campaign promises.

Rabiu spoke at Ijaiye/Ojokoro Local Council Development Area (LCDA) where she went to cast her vote in the state’s council poll holding on Saturday.

According to her, there is no reason why the local government chairpersons should not deliver on their campaign promises, especially now that they are getting their funds directly from the federal

“The local government areas in Nigeria now get their monies directly from the Federal Government, and so, there is no reason why they should not perform.

Rabiu said unlike in past council elections, the response of residents is encouraging.

According to her, although some residents are skeptical about voting, the candidates must ensure that election promises are kept to encourage more participation in future elections.

‘The councils are the nearest to the people and so, must ensure the people get dividends of democracy for renewed hope,” she added.

The Lagos council poll is holding simultaneously in 20 local government areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas of the state.

Fifteen out of the 18 registered political parties are contesting.
