Honourable Olajumoke Modupe Fakoya (Coordinator IBILE EKO FORUM IKORODU CHAPTER) re-explained to the house what IBILE EKO FORUM is all about, it’s objectives and goals.
She stated that the forum is not only for lagosians, but for all residents both indigenes and non indigenes alike.
“Hon. Abdulaziz Babajide Adediron who is the founder of Jandor Foundation is one of the main pushers of IBILE EKO FORUM. With reasons to empower every individual for a positive standard of living”, She added. Just as the executives took time out to address the official flag-off of the forum last week on Bond FM 92.5 in Lagos, Hon Fakoya stated that IBILE EKO FORUM Is a unifying platform for all inhabitants of Lagos state as she urged every members to solidly stand behind the Ikorodu Chapter of the forum to make it strong and give it a unifying voice like never before seen.

A question was asked concerning the structure of the leadership and immediately Hon Fakoya listed the following positions of executives present in the forum:
Coordinator, assistant coordinator, general secretary, Youth leader, human leader, publicity secretary, Organising secretary & Treasurer are the main structure of the forum in Ikorodu.
“Leadership in the various LCDA’s will be created through the excos and it’s only open to individuals who are ready to perform regardless of their status”, She said “for reasons of competency not all post will be occupied as more members are still coming to join the forum”.
A member Alhaji Lateef insisted that the platform must be legally binding for it not to be hijacked by the island movement and he insisted that the movement must support women more because the men has sofar failed the system.
Another member from the ‘Women In Politics Movement’ Deaconess Victoria Amoniloju urged Hon. Fakoya not to relent on her strife to include women in politics and she thanked her for accepting to take the wheels of the forum in Ikorodu. She added that it is time for women to take up the challenge and live up to expectations in politics, later advising the forum’s leadership to keep to time when arranging meetings in order to gain the trust of it’s committed members.

The reason we have shifted the inauguration date from 26th of March to April 2nd 2020 is because we need the pioneer leader Hon. Abdulaziz Babajide Adediron to be available on that day.That is why we have also added the need for members to get our Ankara to make the occasion colourful”, said Hon Fakoya.
