Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A member of House of Representatives, Adedeji Stanley Olajide has urged Nigerians to change their attitude towards local government elections.<\/p>\n

Olajide lamented the situation where only few people come out to vote during local government polls.<\/p>\n

He urged Nigerians to attach importance to local government election the way they usually do during presidential, National assembly and state elections.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker who represents Ibadan North West\/ Ibadan South West Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, spoke shortly after casting his vote in the ongoing Oyo State LG election.<\/p>\n

According to him, citizens should attach importance to local government elections because local governments are the closest to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want the people to attach importance to local government elections in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people should come out the way we usually do during the presidential, National Assembly and state elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur people do not always come out for local government election. We should do it the way we used to do during the general elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause, it is your power. It is when you vote that you can ask for development. It is your right.\u201d<\/p>\n
