Elected council chairmen and their deputies in Lagos State should henceforth reside in their local governments, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) said yesterday.
According to the chapter, a stiff penalty awaits any council helmsman that flouts the directive.
Its Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, who spoke at the ‘Stakeholders’ Special Engagement with Mr. Governor,’ said the party would always demand transparency, accountability and good governance.
The meeting was organized by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who urged the chairmen to carry along the vice chairmen in running the affairs of the local governments.
He also admonished the chairmen to campaign for votes on the platform of the party and not as members of rival caucuses in the party.
The governor presented party flags to the 57 chairmanship candidates and their running mates at the meeting held at the State House, Marina.
He warned against aloofness, complacency and over-confidence, saying that every politics is local.
