The governorship candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 Lagos State governorship election, Mr Funsho Doherty, has urged eligible voters to vote according to their conscience and elect credible candidates capable of transforming the state.
Doherty made the appeal on Sunday at the 40th Anniversary celebration of St. Bartholomew’s Anglican Church, Surulere, Lagos, with the theme “Strong, Courageous, and Committed.”
He said that the 2027 general election presented Lagos residents with another opportunity to redefine the state’s future through informed and responsible voting.
“The future of Lagos rests in the hands of its people.
“I urge every eligible voter to look beyond temporary inducements and cast their votes for candidates with integrity, competence and genuine commitment to public service,” he said.
Doherty said that Lagosians should not be swayed by immediate personal gains but should consider the long-term development of the state when making electoral decisions.
“For over 25 years, one political party has governed Lagos State.
“Democracy thrives on healthy competition, accountability, and the opportunity for alternative ideas to flourish.
“It is time for Lagosians to evaluate all available options in the interest of the state,” he said.
The NDC governorship candidate also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that every legitimate vote counted, adding that transparent elections remained the bedrock of democracy.
“The credibility of any election depends on the integrity of the electoral process.
