A chieftain of the APC, Felix Awofisayo, has urged newly elected chairmen and councillors in Osun to fulfil their campaign promises.

“Those that are lucky to be elected should carry their wards and constituencies along by touching the lives of the electorate,” said Mr Awofisayo, the chairman of the APC Elders Forum in Ife Central while speaking with journalists on Monday in Ile-Ife.

He noted that the contestants had made a lot of pledges during their campaigns and charged them to fulfil their promises for the people to enjoy the dividends of democracy.

According to him, the people who elected them want continuity and accountability in the political system.

“They should not seize the opportunity to amass wealth but should leave a good legacy behind for citizens to gain the dividends of democracy,” he advised.

Mr Awofisayo commended the voters, especially those committed to the ruling party, for their massive turnout and peaceful conduct during Saturday’s council polls in the state.

“Youths should rally round the government of the day for continuity of governance and continued development in the state,” said the APC chieftain. “If they have any grievance, they should pass it across to the appropriate quarters rather than causing mayhem in the society, for there’s no gain in it.”
