Group Hails New APC Exco, Calls For People-Friendly Policies In APC-Controlled States

A group known as the New Lagos Movement, has congratulated the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the successful holding of
its maiden national convention and the emergence of
new national executives to steer the affairs of the party.

The group while condemning the practice of appointing caretaker
committees in the local councils, advised the national
executive of the party to uphold the cardinal principle of
existence of democratically elected local government
councils in all states as rigidly enshrined in the Nigerian
Constitution.

The group insisted that the policies of the party, as
encapsulated in the APC Roadmap to a New Nigeria,
must be fully implemented at all levels of government in
any state controlled by the party.

"Our leaders must understand that the consciousness of
the masses cannot be substituted in a twinkle of an eye
hence the need to implement friendly policies capable of
galvanizing the people to appreciate our good
governance strategy. We must realize that we have
nothing less than 215, 000 registered members in Ekiti,
but unfortunately, our party polled less than its
numerical strength in the election", the group said
