KSO GETS LETTER OF CONFIRMATION AS CIVICS COUNCIL CHAIRMAN OF THE YEAR, BARES ALL ABOUT COUNCIL ADMINISTRATION

The Civics Weekly magazine officially met with Executive Chairman of Egbe-Idimu LCDA, Hon Kunle Sanyaolu Olowoopejo to deliver the official notification of his emergence as the Civics Weekly Council Chairman of the Year 2024. The letter of credence for the conferment and notification of July 22, 2025 as the 'Award Day' was done in the presence of eye witness that included the Executive Vice Chairman of Egbe-Idimu, Hon Mutiu Adebiyi, Hon Wale Azeez, a former Sole Administrator for Igando/Ikotun and currently the Senior Legislative Assistant to the Deputy President of the Senate.
It may be recalled that in a February Issue of Civics Weekly magazine, a formal publication of the 'Award Jury', announcing emergence of Hon Olowoopejo as the magazine's Man of the Year 2024 was published. Therein, and for the transparency of the process leading to his qualification for the honour, it was stated that his choice was premised on some parts of his governance feat, which aligned with this year's "Theme for the award: Governance Influenced by Real Politics".
The publication read: "In content therefore, the underpinning requirements of heroic performance influenced by a mix of local and national politics was readily established by the panelists. At end of the day, Hon Olowoopejo of Egbe-Idimu LCDA emerged with ennobling honour of Civics Weekly Council Chairman of the Year 2024.

What we may even describe as the primary value derived from the visitation to the honoree was the no hold barred interactions we eventually had with him. In contents of all, issues like the philosophy that drives his governance style, the trouble that goes with council administrations, his balancing of politics with governance and a short delve into his private life. All these are what the public will be getting in a coming spotlight edition on the Man of the Year.
To many, it may not be known that good governance goes beyond the mere wielding of power. There are times when power is weakened by circumstances beyond emotion. When the award jury cited the politics behind the construction of Pipeline Road in Idimu area of Alimosho as a part of the material legacies evaluated for the choice of Egbe-Idimu Council Chairman, the interview revealed that it was only a little that was known about the trouble and politics that went into fixing of the road. "Governance is not a tea party", he said.
In vow, he said, pledging in open camera that he would not leave a kobo debt nor any abandoned project for his successor. Saying so, he enjoined the people of Egbe-Idimu LCDA to go all out and vote for Prince Idris Balogun for them to sustain the governance in continuity that has kept the Council on the projectile of development.
In spite of the rigour of governance that is time demanding, KSO, reveals how he never jokes with his leisure time. Hear him affirm this to the world in the video clip below. ASKED HOW WOULD HE RATE HIS PERFORMANCE AT GOVERNANCE SO FAR? "I WOULD LIKE TO PASS THAT TO PUBLIC OPINION", HE SAID.
NOW IT'S THE PEOPLE'S COURT. MEMBERS OF PUBLIC, FRIENDS, CABINET MEMBERS WISHING TO PUBLISH TRIBUTES NOTE NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THEIR ADMIRATIONS AND LOVE FOR THE OUTGOING CHAIRMAN IN THE DEDICATED SPOTLIGHT EDITION TOWARDS THE JULY 20, 2025 AWARD DAY.

OPEN LETTER TO 'MAMA ABUJA', 'MAMA FOREIGN'

March 25, 2025 The Alimosho GAC Member, Princess (Dr.) Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire (OFR), C/o OSSAP-SDG, Abuja. Your Excellency, Mama Abuja, MEMO TO MY LEADER 1: THE TRUTH TO THE PATH OF PEACE AND UNITY IN ALIMOSHO PROGRESSIVES THE PREAMBLE I should not pretend to believe that my colleagues in entire membership of our "Joke Orelope Camp" of the Alimosho Progressives would surely be surprised to hear me address you as 'Mama Abuja' in plausible interchange as 'Mama Foreign' or 'Mama Marina'. It should be so because it is always so when the truth comes out to dance. What do I mean? It may sound proverbial but it is in my personal coinage that when the truth comes to the open market to dance, it is to celebrate the burial of a lie that has lived long. For a couple of years back now, we have enthralled with seeing you in the garb of, and accordingly, address you as Mama Alimosho. But after my deep introspection on our ceaseless problem of disunit...

THE COUNCIL CHAIRMAN'S QUERY IS BASELESS, ACT OF INTIMIDATION

Image
Razaq Adedeji Jimph The Onisheri of Isheri, HRM, Oba Dr. Ibrahim Olasunkanmi Lawal-Bello (COP), has described the publicised query given to him by the Executive Chairman of Egbe-Idimu LCDA as unwarranted and "baseless", noting that it had no other purpose than being a deliberate act of intimidation and intentional blackmail to coerce him for whatever the cause he could have premeditated. The monarch said this while giving his account of the issue surrounding the recent brouhaha over the stretch of land under the double Powerline in the Isheri Olofin corridor in Alimosho LGA. He said The Counvil Chairman, Hon Prince Idris Balogun, was a direct party in the issue and it was his case against the artisans plying their trades under the Powerline following their disagreement over "payment of royalty" demanded by the Council Chairman. All effort to reach the Council Chairman by this magazine was not a success. A message to one of his political aides, Mr Adeyeye, who ...
