After Expiration Of LG Chairmen Elected On PDP Platform, Fayemi Inaugurates New Council Chairmen In Ekiti

Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi on Tuesday inaugurated the newly elected chairmen and vice chairmen for the 16 local government councils in the state , with charge that they must make themselves accessible to the people.

The new council chiefs were elected during the December 7, 2019 local government election in the state and sworn in, a week after the expiration of the tenure of their predecessors, who were elected on the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking at the event, Fayemi who told the new council bosses to prioritise the welfare of Ekiti people above their personal interest, also stated that as the people’s representatives in government, the local government chairmen must make “far-reaching impact on the lives of a lot of people”.

He further urged them to key into the five-pillar agenda of his administration which is aimed at eradicating poverty from the state and deliver the dividends of democracy to the grassroots.

Governor Fayemi, however advised the council gaffers to familiarize themselves with the Local Government Administration Laws and Local Government Service Commission Laws of Ekiti State in order to guide them on the operational activities of the council.
