Traditional ruler of Dopemuland in Agege Local Government, Shuaib Afogunlowo, has advised candidates ahead of the council polls coming up on Saturday, July 12 to shun habit of winners take all syndrome.
According to him, winners must be magnanimous in victory and embrace losers to move the All Progressives Congress (APC) forward in the state and give the electorate the opportunity to enjoy the dividends of democracy.
While cautioning that politics is not a do or die affair, he admonished them to work in harmony and exhibit maturity before, during and after the election.
He also called for a stakeholders’ meeting among the party leaders and elders to resolve any lingering rift ahead of the poll.
Afogunlowo advised those who would be chairmen and councillors to team up and work for total progress of the party.
He also lauded the Lagos State Government and the LASIEC for the preparation being made towards the coming polls. He, therefore, appealed to voters to come out en masse to exercise their franchise.
