As Public, It Is High Time We Held Our Officials Accountable And Responsible ~ Ekiti IPAC, Chair



As public, it is high time we Held our Officials Accountable and Responsible ~ Ekiti IPAC, Chair

By Francis Abe ~ Concordnews

This decision flies in the face of the ethical responsibilities that public officials have to uphold. Using government positions to enrich one’s self is not only unethical, but illegal. And without oversight, corruption and fraud will run amok in our society. Therefore it is imperative for the Public Officials to be held responsible and accountable by the Public.


This in a Statement made by the Ekiti State Chairman of Inter-party Advisory Council, Ifedayo Iyaniwura, according to him, "Accountability is one of the central tenets of public service. Government officials are responsible to the public, so when they misuse their power to help enrich themselves and provide friends with special favors, they are not only to be asked questions, but need to face the consequences. And this shall be test-run in Ekiti State, in coming of days.

The Statement goes further that, a democratic form of government is one which is directly elected by the people,  it is therefore necessary for the government to be responsible and accountable to the people who elected its Officials, and absolute the duty of the public to enforce it.
