“It is however important that hope should be rekindled as we continue to have faith in our Democracy.
“We appreciate all that has continued to stand up for issues bothering on strengthening the Local Governments and Councils.

“ALGON will continue to canvass for a strong LGAs and Councils that will ensure that development of our Communities remains an all time priority and make our founding fathers proud because it will be an assault on the psyche of framers of Local Governments and Area Councils and as a tier of government and one that is the closest to the masses of which we are supposed to remain
hugely indebted to them all hence we shall all struggle and make sacrifices to see that the system enjoys freedom, unhindered access for more meaningful impact”, Hon. Alabi said.
