Voters in both states have expressed concern over the process that led to the nomination of candidates, saying, the situation is likely going to deprive them the opportunity to elect quality representatives to run the councils.There is also fear that with the way things stand, only APC in both states is certain that its candidates could win the elections, like it has always been across country, where ruling parties skew the process to install their candidates at local councils.
In his address, the governor advised the candidates to go and work to ensure they deliver on Saturday.The party chairman, Chief Tunde Balogun instructed the chairmanship candidates not to change lists of councillorship candidates given them for their various councils. A source within PDP said none of their members is willing to waste money to campaign because they don’t trust the process and neither were they comfortable with the infighting.
Others are Allied Peoples Movement , National Rescue Movement , Labour Party , New Nigerian Peoples Party , African Action Congress , BOOT, and Young Progressives Party . Former Spokesman of Lagos ADP, Adelaja Adeoye said it was unfortunate the Lagos council polls are being organised and funded by the ruling party.
But while there is apathy by opposition parties, a faction of the ruling APC, led by Senator Ibikunle Amosun also boycotted APC’s primaries, alleging that Governor Dapo Abiodun had manipulated the system to favour his preferred candidates.
