… secures 3rd term endorsement

A Lagos lawmaker, Adewale Temitope Adedeji, on Monday secured the endorsement of traditional rulers, Chieftains of the All Progressives Congress and residents of Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency I for another term in office.

They made their collective decisions known at an empowerment programme for 500 widows organised by the lawmaker in his constituency office in Lagos.

Stressing that it was the first time they would experience real representation at that state legislature, the constituents said the lawmaker had made life easier for them.

Deacon Banjo Omole, chairman of the APC in Ifako-Ijaiye local government, thanked his party for not making a mistake in its decision to field Adewale in previous elections.

“APC does not make mistakes with its choice of candidates. Since we brought out Temitope, he has met our yearnings. Some others would have shifted away from their people, but that’s not Temitope. He has constantly touched the lives of constituents.

“Students, members of our party, men and women have, in different ways, benefitted from Adewale even though his main task is to represent us at the House of Assembly,” Deacon Omole said urging residents to get their voters cards ready ahead of 2027.

In his remarks, the chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC) of Ifako-Ijaiye, Pastor Samuel Opajobi, described the lawmaker as an achiever and lover of mankind.

While endorsing the lawmaker on behalf of residents of the local government areas, he added: “We know how much he has impacted the people of this Constituency.”

Supporting Adewale’s endorsement, the Leader of the Ifako-Ijaiye local government council, Adebo Samuel Kayode, added: “We are happy today because we have not regretted having Temitope Adedeji as our lawmaker. We are happy we didn’t make a mistake.

“We can now see the result of our collective choice. It is no longer a story that we want him a third time. We only pray to God to continue to give us good health ahead of 2027.”

Oba-elect Matthew Ogundimu of Ogundimu Kingdom of Lagos thanked the lawmaker for his impact in the lives of the people.

“His efforts in our lives have yielded great results and we can all see that. Let’s not mind wicked politicians who would want to bring out candidates against him,” he told the guests at the event.

Thanking his constituents for their constant support, Adewale said his vision is to see that Ifako-Ijaiye becomes the most educated local government and its people the happiest in Nigeria.

“We have promised that we will continue to give back to you the people that voted for us. All of this we are doing to show that we learnt from the best, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who has continued in his efforts to make Nigeria one of the strongest economies in the world.

“Our intention is very simple; we must continue to give succour to the people.
President Tinubu is working to see that Nigeria is great and we must continue to support him,” he said.

He also promised free registration of health insurance for residents who do not have or whose registration has expired just as he announced that his free adult literacy classes which would commence soon, already has over 100 applicants.

One of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Abosede Duduyemi, thanked Hon. Adewale for the gesture, saying that last time, he gave them N10,000 each, and that the latest is N20,000 each with the foodstuff more this time around

She promised that she and others would continue to support the lawmaker while praying that God will continue to help him.

Mrs. Grace Akingbehin, another beneficiary, said that she has been living in Iju area for over 40 years and has been in politics for more than 30 years, but that Hon. Adewale has done better than others.
