IKORODU DIVISION IN SAFE HANDS AS ITS REPRESENTATIVE IMPACTS POSITIVELY ON THE COMMUNITY. As observed by Shakiru Seidu of MegaXpression Magazine.
In the recent past in Ikorodu Division, power struggle and the quests to seek for political relevance, generated a lot of tension in the political circuit. Empty promises and dishonesty of some people wearied and silenced various innovations in the minds of those who believed in robust growth and development of the Division.
Perhaps, the slow progress of the division has woken so many residents and the indigenes of Ikorodu division to the consciousness of the reality of life that our leaders should be held accountable for whatever befalls the division. It is to my greatest surprise that a strata of bonafide indigene of Ikorodu division deemed it fit and determined to rewrite the history of Ikorodu division by being committed to transformation work to lift Ikorodu out of seoul of stagnancy and retrogression.
Firstly, it is no more news to decipher how the Acting Commissioner and Special Adviser for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Lagos State, Hon. Adebimpe Akinsola has been so instrumental towards unifying Ikorodu division. She lobbied passionately to ensure the approval of Ipakodo/Igbogbo/Igbe road. Her relentless efforts eventually yielded a positive result as the government of Gov. Ambode approved the project which will further expose Igbogbo to rapid growth and development.
She equally played important role on ASA Carnival to get government's approval, her efforts to place Ikorodu division back to cultural value and her influence to bring Squadron 63 to Ikorodu division were sighted, supporting School projects, empowering youth, among others, while several other developmental works are still in the offing.
However, it is proverbially affirmed that, “the gentle stride of a tiger is not an act of cowardice." The dynamic and astute Federal lawmaker, representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency, Hon. Babajimi Benson, came into the political scene of Ikorodu Division when all the youths were fed up of political promises. His emergence awoken the already dead hopes and aspirations in so many people.
The lawmaker's iCARE FOUNDATION has helped over 10,000 people living with hunger, the youth empowerment scheme and employment of intellectual youths who are making things happen in the division now. Babajimi Benson persistently pressurizes the National Assembly on the Ikorodu-Shagamu road and several other School building projects he had embarked upon in some of our LCDAs to alleviate the sufferings of the people, no doubt he was referred to as a messiah by one of his beneficiaries.
Nevertheless, the Majority Leader, Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. SOB Agunbiade's resilience and doggedness for resuscitation of our beautiful cultural heritage in Ikorodu division is one of his core value. He has proven to be a true son of the soil. He is fighting rigorously to promote the bills that will benefit the good people of Ikorodu on the floor of Lagos State House of Assembly .
Recently the ASA Carnival was celebrated in a great style which brought people from across the globe to the event. Among other achievements of Hon SOB Agunbiade were the execution of different skill acquisition programmes for the youths, yearly mini Marathon race, among others.
Another game changer is Hon. Nurudeen Solaja who has been all out commissioning various water projects, disbursement of scholarships to students, provision of IT gadgets to students in various competitions to promote his essence of life which is investment in education.
The Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Cooperative, Prince Rotimi Ogunleye is leaving no stone unturned on the new market at Imota and in ensuring growth and development in Ikorodu Division.
The synergy of all these astute reformers has therefore informed the decision of people to choose and elect credible leaders at the 6 local Councils in Ikorodu division, with the hope of salvaging the division from the grip of stagnation and slow progress.
With the smooth collaboration among the Royal Heads in Ikorodu division, headed by HRM Oba Kabir Adewale Shotobi, the Ayangburen of Ikorodu and other leaders in the Division, It is in my opinion that Ikorodu Division is in safe hands, perhaps if they will maintain their core value and essence of life while it lasted. History has a way of repeating itself. Let's all play our part to move Ikorodu Division forward.
