GOOD GOVERNANCE: ASSOCIATION OF TRADITIONAL MIDWIFERY OF NIGERIA ENDORSES AMBODE FOR SECOND TERM IN 2019. | Shakiru Seidu.

In furtherance of good governance and outstanding infrastructural development in Lagos State, Association of Traditional Midwifery of Nigeria (ATMN), has endorsed Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for second term in office, come 2019. This came to reality at the Mushin Local Government Hall, on Monday, 9th of April, 2018.

The President of the Association, Prince Tajudeen Olusesi, Olumale of Odo-Nla community, Ikorodu, noted, while addressing the Press that, having watched closely the impressive performance of the governor, they deemed it fit to honour him with a second term in office. He pointed out to the presence of the governor in virtually all part of the State.

Prince Olusesi commended the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for giving Lagos such a great gift in the person of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, noting that his impact is felt in all nooks and crannies of the state by all and sundry.

He, however, urged members of Association of Traditional Midwifery of Nigeria, residing throughout Lagos State, to keep their permanent voters cards to actualize the vision of a second term for Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in 2019. He also advised members who have not procured their PVC to do so in the spirit of continuity and good governance.

Prince Olusesi also used the advantage of the Press briefing, which coincided with their monthly meeting,  to plead for support and assistant from the State Government to the Association. He affirmed that the Traditional Midwifery is now acknowledged as a long neglected corner stone of an integrated health care system without which the realisation of health provision in the millennium development goals will be mirage.

"Reduction of child mortality, improving maternal health and combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, malnutrition are all linked to how far we are able to harness the hidden potentials of our traditional midwifery," Prince Tajudeen Olusesi explained.

While MegaXpression engaged Mr Gbolagade Ogunjimi, the general secretary of the Association in a brief interview, he said, “We don’t need to campaign for the Governor, his works are evident to all in all nooks and crannies of the State .The road network and Chalets in Epe are un-equaled. Indeed he has improved greatly on the work of his predecessor

The event was attended by other leaders of the Association, including Alhaja R. Osho, Mr Abayomi Olufemi, Alhaja Ogunkoya K.A., Mrs Fasinu Janet Abosede, Mr Gbemileke Moshood, among others.
