A group known as the New Lagos Movement, has congratulated the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the successful holding of its maiden national convention and the emergence of new national executives to steer the affairs of the party.
The group while condemning the practice of appointing caretaker committees in the local councils, advised the national executive of the party to uphold the cardinal principle of existence of democratically elected local government councils in all states as rigidly enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution.
The group insisted that the policies of the party, as encapsulated in the APC Roadmap to a New Nigeria, must be fully implemented at all levels of government in any state controlled by the party.
“Our leaders must understand that the consciousness of the masses cannot be substituted in a twinkle of an eye hence the need to implement friendly policies capable of galvanizing the people to appreciate our good governance strategy. We must realize that we have nothing less than 215, 000 registered members in Ekiti, but unfortunately, our party polled less than its numerical strength in the election”, the group said.
