2023 ELECTIONS: ASIWAJU KNOWS IKORODU, OTHER CANDIDATES DON’T! – ASIPA KAOLI, REP. JIMI BENSON, OTHERS ENGAGE IKORODU DIVISION YOUTHS ®™√ INN Nigeria © 202k2km2mmm2185508539965399454 In a bid to distinguish between reality and fiction in assessing the electioneering process, youth leaders in Ikorodu division held an awareness program on the 22nd of February 2023. Tagged 'delivering your polling units strategically', the educative fora drew coordinators from the National youth council of Nigeria (NYCN) Ikorodu division branch, National Association of Ikorodu division students (NAIDS), Students Union leaders and other factions to the Ita-Elewa youth activity centre. An enthralling panel, the forum allowed youths to engage leaders such as high Chief Asipa Kaoli, Rep. Jimi Benson MHR, Bldr Olusesan Daini, Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA chairman, and Hon. Motunrayo Gbadebo-Alogba, Ijede LCDA council Boss, on ways youths can fully get involved in the canvassing and voting process. The program also captioned the official declaration of youths in Ikorodu division in support of the All Progressive Congress (APC) party for the forthcoming elections. Hitting the nail on the head, Chief Asipa kaoli in his statements, instructed youths present to change the course of their future by coming all out to vote APC. He said without missing words, that the current youths know how favourable the ruling party is bending towards their direction, thus, he instructed, "Pair yourselves on Saturday (Election Day) and come out not only to vote but also let others around you vote for your party (APC)". Also building their minds ahead, Asipa Kaoli advised the youths to ready themselves for leadership roles, exhorting them to study more for valid uplifts, and not aiming to attract favour they did not work for. Rep. Babajimi Benson MHR, Ikorodu federal lawmaker, who also attended the program, in his discourse, explained that as youths, representatives and leaders, the ruling party has a unifying factor, which is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to Rep. Benson, Bola Tinubu is one way or the other connected to those making things happen around the waterbed region, which in itself gives the division proactive leverage at the helm of affairs. He continued, "As youths, we're all hardworking and doing well, all we need now is a leader to integrate our expertise and make our dreams come alive, and that leader is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu". "Asiwaju knows Ikorodu, other candidates don't"! "A vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a 'yes' to all our APC working leaders in the division, which will make it easy for him to bring a lot of solutions to challenges we face". Explaining further, Rep. Benson said Nigeria is worth 500 billion dollars without adequate power supply, but India is worth 2 trillion dollars with power, a not too high margin in comparison to its regular challenges. "With a leader like Asiwaju, who can walk us out of power issues, Nigeria will thrive better as an economy, and a lot of youths will become self-employed rather than seeking government positions". "That's why on Election Day, everyone youth must not only be a voter for APC, but also a canvasser for the ruling party" Rep. Benson asserted Bldr Sesan Daini, Executive Chairman of Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA, engaged the youths on the ideology behind the Progressive family. He explained that the All Progressives Congress's goal is to create free and rich Education, Infrastructure, Agriculture and other social amenities for the people. He continued, "The progressive family has existed since 1999 under the leadership of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and has had several names before now". "As the name implies we have always been progressive from the inception and there are lots of scorecards to show for it". "The Lekki Free Trade Zone is one of them and it was a vision that was foreseen and initiated by our leader Asiwaju" Bldr Daini added. Executive chairman of Ijede LCDA, Hon. Motunrayo Gbadebo-Alogba, lauded the organisers of the program, acknowledging that the engagement was designed to further position Ikorodu Division for more dividends of democracy through its voting strength in the forthcoming elections. According to her, "the youths must actively support the Renewed Hope agenda by voting for the presidential candidate of APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Saturday, February 25th". "I am confident that the quality of insights shared by different speakers at the event will help put Ikorodu youths on the right track politically" Motunrayo concluded Mr Rotimi Erogbogbo, chairman of Ikorodu Oga Development Association (IKODASS), former constituency 1 APC aspirant Yinka Majekodunmi, Comrade Folarin Adegboyega and Comrade Eniola Bada, amongst others, were in attendance. The program was hosted by former Ikorodu constituency 1 aspirant, Prince Eniola Adeyemi, also known as Wake-Up and convened by Comrade Olalekan Billiamin-Oba, National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Lagos State chairman.

STUDENTS IN LAGOS STAGE CONCERT TO ENDORSE SANWO-OLU, TINUBU ®™√ INN Nigeria © 78887ujjjjjjjjj6479971132496617348 Spirit of Aluta literally descended on Lagos on Friday morning, igniting fierce millennial optimism to its fullest. Students across all tertiary institutions in Lagos State turned out massively to endorse the re-election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. The Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, where the students held their endorsement concert, throbbed with various Aluta jingles, which also indicated their support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The students, who filled up the 10,000-capacity stadium, were led by union leaders from their respective institutions. Schools in attendance included Lagos State University (LASU), University of Lagos (UNILAG), Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUTECH), Lagos State University of Education (LASUED), Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), and Federal College of Education (Technical), Akoka, among others. Also at the event were the leaders of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), National Union of Lagos State Students (NULASS), and associations of non-indigene students. The students, speaking through the Lagos NANS chairman, Tolulope Olusesi, openly declared Sanwo-Olu as their father, investing the Governor with the honour of “Five-Star Aluta General” in the Southwest. Olusesi said the priority accorded the tertiary education in Lagos by the Sanwo-Olu administration was unrivalled, describing the upgrade of former Lagos State Polytechnic and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education as “top-notch”. Students’ Union President of LASU, Comrade Adeoye Adelakun, said the tertiary education programmes and policies implemented by the Governor were designed to support students’ academic aspiration. Under the Sanwo-Olu administration, the LASU union president said the school had its standards raised and rose to become the Best State-owned University in the country. He added that the Governor complemented his support for LASU with the building of a magnificent students’ arcade for union activities. Adelakun said the students resolved to reciprocate the Governor’s gesture by giving him support for the second term, stressing that Sanwo-Olu’s re-election would further enhance education value in Lagos. He said: “This endorsement rally is quite significant and it is different from what others have been doing. We are students and we are direct beneficiaries of Sanwo-Olu’s education programmes. We have seen the firsthand impacts of Mr. Governor’s policies and we are out here to appreciate these efforts. “On behalf of Lagos State University students, I express our appreciation for making the school as the Best State University in Nigeria. This is because of nothing but the academic standing of the school. We are also thankful for the gift of the students’ arcade, which is the best of its kind in Africa.” National Public Relations Officer of NANS, Comrade Giwa Yisa said Sanwo-Olu regarded students as valuable stakeholders in his Government, noting that the apex students’ body in the country rated the Governor higher than his peers because of his education programmes. “We are all witnesses to how Sanwo-Olu is laying solid foundation for the future leaders right from primary schools to tertiary institutions. We cannot afford not to have him back in office; the Governor must be supported to continue this good work,” Yisa said. NULASS National President, Comrade Akinola Shasanya, thanked the Governor for raising bursaries paid to indigenes of the State across tertiary institutions, stressing the State Government had been prompt in paying the money to the beneficiaries. Shasanya said NULASS members were unanimous in their decision to support the Governor for second term. Students’ Union President of LASUED, Comrade David Okechukwu, an Anambra State indigene, commended the Governor for maintaining non-discriminatory policies in tertiary schools in Lagos. Sanwo-Olu said the large turnout of the students validated his administration’s modest efforts at improving education in the State, noting that the students’ choice in the coming general elections would shape their future. The Governor said the “Greater Lagos” he promised had started to unfold across areas, urging the students to support the endorsement with highest number of votes from their constituency. Sanwo-Olu said: “I thank you for coming out in large numbers to validate our education programmes being implemented in your various academic institutions. The Greater Lagos we promised is rising rapidly and you are beginning to see the impacts, given the meaningful progress across your schools. When other tertiary institutions went on strike, we protected you from the pain. We kept you in school and there was no single day your institutions were shut. “This is an evidence that what we are about is your future. We are committed to providing more opportunities to shape your future. We are creating the ambience for you to explore your passion and become responsible citizens. That is why we are continuously asking you to work with us and support us in delivering the future you desire. “By choosing to be with us, you are entrusting your future and the future of the coming generations with us. We are not taking your support for granted. I pledge we will never let you down. You must go out and vote en mass for APC in the presidential elections and in State elections. When Tinubu is elected president and we are returned as Governor, there would be a lot of opportunities that will be provided for you to become champions in your chosen career.” The Governor fulfilled his promise to the students, presenting high-capacity buses to aid their movement to and from their campuses.

RE: DON’T ARREST ANY MOTORIST, SANWO-OLU WARNS LASTMA ®™√ INN Nigeria © fb img 16863785586661705408803098953377 The attention of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has been drawn to the recurring fake news circulating on social media, purported to have been said by the Governor of Lagos State Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu that, "Henceforth no LASTMA Officials should arrest any motorist, either commercial or private. LASTMA must manage traffic and not arrest". A statement released by the Director, of the Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department of LASTMA, Mr Adebayo Taofiq said the General Manager of the Agency, Mr Bolaji Oreagba had previously debunked the fake online news which had alleged that LASTMA Officials were banned from arresting motorists who flout the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018. Mr Oreagba explained that the false report, which is the handiwork of faceless mischief makers, has been repeatedly circulated online since February 2020 despite being severally refuted by the management of LASTMA. He warned Lagosians, especially motorists, to be wary of online reports aimed at causing chaos and mischief within the society. "I wonder why some individuals choose to always mislead others to contravene the traffic law of the State as amended by the State House of Assembly in 2018", he noted. General Manager hinted that part of the Agency's responsibility is to uphold and enforce the traffic laws of the State, maintaining that the officers and men of LASTMA will not hesitate to enforce those laws whenever violated to transform the State's transportation system towards ensuring the free flow of traffic and reducing road accidents. According to him, "The motoring public is advised to ignore and disregard all fake news circulated by faceless individuals and designed to lead them into breaking the traffic law of the State". He stated further that all working ethics of the Authority, including its operations, are being regulated by the State's Laws. General Manager confirmed that the Agency is currently operating with modern technological innovations in addressing traffic challenges by equipping traffic management personnel with new hand-held Traffic Management Solution (TMS) devices that capture real-time traffic violations on the road, in addition to a signalised intersection and junction improvement. While thanking all road users for their support and cooperation with LASTMA which has culminated in the reduction in travel time, Oreagba, however, advised motorists to call any of the Agency's hotlines (08100565860, 08129928503 & 08129928597) for any inquiry or clarification on the activities of the Agency.

AYANGBURE OF IKORODU KINGDOM RECEIVES KICC FOUNDER, MATHEW ASHIMOLOWO, CHURCH PLANS TO PROVIDE 60 MILLION NAIRA WORTH OF MEDICAL AID AT IKORODU MEGA-CONVENTION ®™√ INN Nigeria © 9098uijggyuu424246991497298322 The Ayangbure of Ikorodu Kingdom, HRM, Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, received the founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo at his palace on the 8th of June 2023. Pastor Ashimolowo, who's also the President of Christ Compassion To The Rural World, paid a courtesy visit to the paramount ruler of the waterbed region in Lagos State, with plans to organise an international convention on the last quatre of 2023. Approximately 80 communities in the central axis of Ikorodu Central were fully represented at the palace, culminating with high chiefs, Ayangbure-in-council, and baales. Olori Abosede Kudirat Shotobi, wife of HRM, Sat by the side of the king as Ikorodu received the foremost clergyman. Welcoming the Founder and his delegates, Otunba Ayodele Elesho, special aid to the king, described the visit as a moment of joy to see Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo back in Ikorodu. He said, "We learnt that your missionary career started here in Ikorodu many years ago, and we're pleased to see God bringing you back, not only to see us but also to come and advance the Kingdom of God here". "From the information I've gathered, the International convention to be organised by KICC in Ikorodu is a pleasant and laudable idea, which we're looking forward to amassing with open arms". "We want to let you know that every assistance you need which the palace can provide, on behalf of the Ayangbure of Ikorodu Kingdom, Consider it done!" Otunba Elesho affirmed. Elesho also said that the palace will not just support the convention physically, but will also join the church in prayers to ensure the program ends up successful. Before speaking about the program, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo reminded everyone that he had lived in Ikorodu 49years ago and left the waterbed region some 47years ago, adding that it's a great feeling to be able to come back, and this time with the good news of Jesus Christ to touch the city. Illustrating the program proper to the King and all present at the palace, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, said the assignment which is billed to undertake a major outreach in the Ikorodu division was placed in his heart by God after 3years of fervent prayers. According to him, the program which will run for 7 consecutive days will provide welfare packages to cater to 50,000 residents in Ikorodu. Food items, clothes and educational gadgets for students will also be disbursed during the week-long program. He continued, "Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), during the program, will support 200-300 families requiring medical operations with free surgeries at Ikorodu General Hospital". "60 million naira worth of prescription drugs will be doled out to residents after people have been diagnosed to know the right medication needed". Pastor Matthew illustrated that the last Saturday of the program will be a medical affair where Igbogbo Stadium (the venue for the convention) will be converted into an open hospital to cater for health-challenged individuals. And on that same Saturday night, there will be a major evening crusade. "We're aware that Igbogbo Stadium is still under construction as we speak, but before coming here, we had a meeting with the Lagos State Government, and we've been told that the stadium will be completed by September, before the program set date (in November)". "Nigeria is at a crossroads and we're going through a lot of challenges, we must bring help, relief and blessing to the people in Ikorodu" Pastor Ashimolowo asserted Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo later presented 'The Power Of Positive Prayers', a book he authored that contains 15,000 prayer points to the King. His Royal Majesty, Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, Ayangbure of Ikorodu Kingdom, in his speech, thanked Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo for coming to Ikorodu, calling the day remarkable. Oba Kabiru said though Pastor Ashimolowo found his way back to Ikorodu, He (the King) has been peeking to meet with the clergyman for quite some time. He continued, "When Pastor Adeboye, founder of the Redeem Christian Church of God came to Ikorodu for a special program, I requested he prayed for LASPOTECH to become a University, he did and it came to pass". "Later, when Pastor Folorunsho Kumuyi of Deeper Life Church visited Ikorodu for another special program, I requested he prayed for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to become the next President of Nigeria, he did and today we have him as President". "For our dear Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, I only have one request for him, he should pray for us that the next Governor of Lagos State should come from Ikorodu because we're long overdue for it". The King also suggested that the venue for the convention be shifted to LASUSTECH to have a bigger space. Pastor Ashimolowo subsequently gave reasons as to why the church decided to use Igbogbo Stadium. Oba Shotobi prayed for the church to continue to expand across the globe, adding that Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo should make KICC more visible in Ikorodu. Ikorodu Oga Development Association (IKODASS) Chairman, Mr Rotimi Erogbogbo gave the closing remarks by appreciating Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo for allowing God to direct him back to Ikorodu, asserting that the entire division will be gazing ahead to work with his positive course. Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo was accompanied by; Pastor Wole Oladiyun, Chief Mrs Folukemi Olusanya, Rev. Dr Janet Onaolapo, Rev. Jet Bankole, Dr Julie Emakpo, Commander Peter Olabode, Pst Ben Oyebanji, Rev. Dapo Taiwo, Pastor Ebenezer Olushola, Mugagi Olawole among others.
