By Azeez Abiodun Jimoh, popularly known as Olosugbo, has declared his intention to run for the office of Executive Chairman of Ikorodu Local Government under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
This development comes amidst the politicking ahead of the forthcoming local government elections in 20 Local Governments and 35 Local Council Development Areas, LCDAs of Lagos State scheduled to hold on July 24.
Announcing his aspiration in an open letter, Olosugbo said his resolve for the coveted office was necessitated by the need to rescue the council and place it on the path to greatness.
“It is very pertinent to note that our dear council needs more than ever before, a trusted, experienced, pragmatic and proactive manager of human and material resources capable of rediscovering our greatness by maximizing her potentials and instituting a culture of sustainable growth that would eventually lead to enduring development with positive impacts on the generality of our people,” he said.
Olosugbo, who served the Local Government Council as Leader of the Legislative Arm for two consecutive terms, said he has a stronger zeal to contribute more to the greatness of Ikorodu Local Government at this very auspicious time when it demands a revamp.
He added: “Ikorodu is so populated now and as such blessed with Internal Generated Revenue potential that should work in our favour year in year out; Our security architecture needs total overhauling and the multifaceted talents of our highly conscious youths demand urgent engagement for positive re-branding of Ikorodu Local Government.
“The foregoing are my dream for a greater Ikorodu which I am sure also forms part of your bigger dreams hence the need for collaboration of dreams, for which I am seeking for your approval and support for my aspiration which is not an ambition merely to occupy a political office but a strong will for selfless service to a people and an indigenous Local Government.”
