Councilors Are No Errand Boys – Tinubu

The former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, made this declaration   at the local government training conference, tagged Energising Grassroots  Democracy, yesterday at LTV 8, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos State.

He stated that the days councillors are seen as errand boys or servants are long  gone. “Do not look at your councillors as errand boys,” Tinubu warned.

The governor stated further that councillors must cooperate and collaborate with the  interest of the community they represent. He said “councillors must not be the  irritating ants, you must not be the cockroaches in the kitchen.”

He linked the victory attained at Osun and Ekiti states a good things yet to come  and good judgement of the rule of law.  He said “without men and women of conscience  on the bench, we would not have achieved this.”
