A female lawyer and rights activist, Barrister Eyitope Success-Adekunle, took a critical look at the weekend’s council poll in Lagos State and expressed the need for voter education in the country to prevent apathy in the future elections, saying, it is discouraging seeing eligible voters shunning that vital aspect of democracy.
The concerned activist, who is the leader of a non-governmental organization (NGO), Women for Change Initiatives (WCI), in an interactive session with the media at the weekend in Lagos said, “having gone round substantial parts of the state monitoring the election, it was discovered that, shunning election sometimes is borne out of ignorance and lack of the basic knowledge of th importance of the exercise.”
The legal practitioner however realised during her interaction with the people that, they are contented with the good work Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu is doing in the state, insisting however that, “they should have come out more to assert that belief in Sanwo-Olu via overwhelming votes.”
The Woman Leader was of the conviction that, the people of the state are enjoying the good work of their governor and are very sure that, whether all of them come out to vote or nor, greater percentage of those who came out would surely give Sanwo-Olu’s party their votes.
