Youth Advocacy For Good Governance in Ward 8, Ibadan South East Local Government, write to express their strong discontent and disappointment regarding Hon. Adigun Agboworin previous attempt to impose a councillorship candidate upon us. We hereby warn you against repeating such actions in the upcoming elections.
It is with utmost concern that we recall the undemocratic approach you employed during the last councillorship election, wherein you unilaterally endorsed and imposed a candidate without consulting the electorate. This act not only disregarded the principles of democracy but also undermined the rights of the people to freely choose their representatives.
As citizens of this ward, we demand transparency, fairness, and respect for democratic processes. We firmly believe that the decision regarding our representative should be made collectively, allowing every eligible voter to exercise their democratic rights. It is crucial that our concerns, needs, and aspirations are genuinely considered by any candidate who wishes to represent us.
We emphasize that imposing an aspirant upon us will be met with strong opposition and will not be tolerated. We, the constituents, are entitled to make an informed decision based on the merits, capabilities, and vision of the candidates who offer themselves for public service.
We implore you, as our elected representative, to uphold the democratic values and principles you were entrusted with. It is essential that you genuinely engage with the community, listen to our voices, and respect our decision-making process.
Failure to heed this warning will inevitably result in a loss of confidence and trust from the electorate. We, therefore, urge you to desist from any actions that undermine the democratic rights of the people of Ward 8. Let us work together to ensure a fair and inclusive electoral process that truly reflects the will of the community.
We look forward to your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
