Remi Tinubu: Don’t complain if you didn’t vote

Oluremi Tinubu, senator representing Lagos central, on
Saturday said eligible voters in Lagos state who did not cast their
votes in the local government election would not be justified to
complain against local councils.

Oluremi said this in Lagos in an interview with journalists in
her residence in Bourdillon, Ikoyi.

“This is the time to show solidarity for the government; we
believe that this government is working; this is the time that
everybody should perform his/her civic duty,’’ she said.

“It is not for you but for your generation yet unborn so that
things can be put in place.

“We have set the standard in Lagos; every elected candidate does
not have any choice but to work.”

She said she had been working as a people’s representative for
the past six years and would continue to do so till the end of her
tenure.

Tinubu commended the Lagos State Independent Electoral
Commission (LASIEC) for efforts in conducting the polls.

“LASIEC has done well; security personnel are on ground ensuring
that there is peace and order,” she said.

Also, the secretary to the Lagos state government, Tunji Bello,
who voted at Ward E, Olonade street, Yaba LGA, commended voters who
turned out in spite of the downpour.

“Voters have shown support for democracy by coming to vote in
spite of the rain,” she said.

“Starting the election behind schedule is understandable due to
the downpour; it is impressive.

“I believe that APC will carry the day.”

Jide Jimoh, representing Lagos mainland in the house of
representatives, told journalists that the elections had been
peaceful.

“The election process is fantastic so far, and I commend the
Lagos state commissioner of police for that,” he said.

“I won’t want to make any judgment on LASIEC because we are just
starting. Taking off does not matter; it is landing that is the
most important thing.

“We have taken off; at the end of the day, we will see the
result. I expect a positive result.”
