IFEOLUWA CDA PROMISES MASSIVE VOTE FOR PRINCE BALOGUN/TAYO AYINDE

Story by Toyo C Ngem & Bankole Akinlaye
The Chairman of Ifeoluwa CommCommnitynity Development Association (CDA) and his entire members of Executive Committee have given their assurances that the community was set to give their votes to the Candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Egbe-Idimu LCDA in the July 12 Local Government Elections in Lagos State. Prince Idris Balogun and Rotarian Tayo Ayinde are the chairmanship and vice chairmanship candidates of the party respectively.
The CDA, Alhaji Abdulwasiu Adedokun (aka Baba Meto), made this promise during interactions with the Civics Weekly magazine this morning in company with some members of his executives. He said it should not be out of place to describe Ifeoluwa CDA as APC community because of the Progressives mind set by which the CDA had sustained its developmental strides. At the chats were the First Vice Chairman, 2nd Vice Chairman, Mr. Babatunde Olatunbosun; the Assistant Secretary, Mr. Tayo Akinde.
The CDA, according to him, had been around since year 2000, ostensibly that it came with the birth of this democracy and so far in the series of election cycles in Nigeria, whether general elections or local government elections, "Ifeoluwa's choice of party to vote had always being the Progressives that is called APC today,", he said.
As the Chairman explained, though the administration of this executive is still at infancy, having just been inaugurated in March this year, it was clear that the direction they intend to go is to establish a very close relationship with the grassroots government in a quid pro quo mutually beneficial way.
He said "Somehow, I think it's God's doing that this new executive body of Ifeoluwa Ccame in at about the same time a new government will be taking over the administration of Egbe-Idimu LCDA. It is a coincidence that really aligns with our mission to effectively work with the local government because that is the only way we can achieve the promises of development we gave to our people and we believe that it was on the basis of that promises they elected us because it was a keenly contested election. Having that goal in mind, we felt we did not need to wait until we meet the APC Candidates before we should begin to work for him.
"Immediately after the Primary Elections and the results produced Oluomo as the Candidate, we began our campaign earnestly for him too. If you noticed it at the main gate on your way into the street, you will see the big banners. Along side that we agoing start sensisation of our residents to understand why we should be on the side of ruling party", the First Vice Chairman added.
Ifeoluwa CDA comprises of about five streets with a mix of enlightened class of residents. Though almost a landlock in Isheri Olofin town along the Governor's Road, it has a strategic location that offers a campaign strategy for their choice of candidate. Strangely, it is only at the CDA gate that any awareness of election activities could be noticed along the entire stretch of the Highway on the side of Egbe-Idimu could be noticed.

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 ...
