Speaking with the media practitioners while taking them around, Oduborisa explained that during the beginning of his tenure, he outlined a 5-year agenda plan for the club, which some of his colleagues thought was not possible to accomplish. He said, "But as we speak, every project is been implemented and executed in record time". "As you can see, I came in and transformed my office to a presidential setting, where anyone that comes in would give us the reverence we truly merit as a Club among clubs". "The manager and Secretary's office is been renovated also. There is an ongoing renovation and upgrade of a space we've created for Elders meetings". "Our completed refurbished State of the Arts conference room, which was commissioned by the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu on the 11th of March 2022 has been commended by all who've seen or heard about it". "To crown it all, we're currently working on rejuvenating the ancientest hospital in Ikorodu, which is the Agbala Paediatric Care Centre". "We plan to make our 50th anniversary, which we'll mark by September/November 2023 an unforgettable experience". Oduborisa said his tenure, which is slated to expire by January 2024 will consciously enhance the state of the club, categorising his administration as progressive in nature. "We're backing our words with actions towards marking Oriwu Club of Ikorodu's 50th anniversary, you can be rest assured of that," Oduborisa affirmed.

IJEDE LCDA UNIFIED YOUTH FORUM MARKS 4TH ANNIVERSARY, UNVEILS NEW LOGO ®™√ INN Nigeria © 393j3j3mm3mm3187477142186915261 Shaped four years ago, the Ijede LCDA Unified youth forum is a registered pressure group, aimed at thrusting the government and institutions to enhance the growth standard of the region it dwells in. Deemed the largest and only pressure group in Ijede LCDA, the group marked its 4th anniversary on the 14th of January 2023 at the prestigious Golden Heaven event centre, playing host to special dignitaries across the province. With High Chief Aliu Kayode Musediq, Regent of Ijede kingdom, High Chief Aliu Babatunde Ogunmuyiwa, Odofin Alajede of Ijede, High Chief Bello Shakirudeen Adetona, Otunba of Egbin kingdom and Chief Olanrewaju Kuye, Otunba of Emiren kingdom as special guests, the ceremony was notable in bestowing voice to the youths in the land of cool breeze and aquatic splendour. Formerly known as the Ijede-Egbin youth forum, the group is now named the Ijede LCDA Unified Youth Forum, consisting of an elders' advisory body and also an executive assemblage headed by Prince Olumide Musediq. Chairman of the occasion, Prince Ademola Olutusin, lauded the group in his short footnotes, recounting their commitment to guaranteeing the community enjoys a sufficient power supply. He further motivated them to remain trustworthy in their pursuit to upgrade the standard of living in the community. According to Prince Ademola, "This denomination has been a significant tool for a favourable modification in Ijede LCDA, and I crave youths around this region to key into their tenacity and unified strength". Furthermore, He pleaded with the present administration under the governorship of Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu to look towards fixing Ijede major road after the actualisation of the Agura-gberigbe thoroughfare which is currently under construction. Prince Adebowale Afinah Sodiq, Guest speaker for the event, in his words instructed the group to maintain their core objective, which is to live in the void on behalf of the community to commend performing governance and criticise policies for poor tasks as well. In his statements, "Pressure group is an integral part of the developmental phase of every community. "Pressure groups don't infer they are against the government, they're a set of individuals who channel the right and adequate information at the grassroots level towards the government, to aid in propagating their policies". "They epitomize the freedom of speech, which is reflected in the activities of the Unified Ijede-Egbin Youth Forum" Prince Sodiq expanded. Speaking on the effort of the group further, Prince Sodiq, a Senior Assistant Registrar at the Lagos State University (LASU), stated that Ijede LCDA, been the host community to Egbin Power Plant, for a while had endured power outages, but right to the activeness of the Ijede-Egbin youth forum, the community is currently enjoying good power supply. Speaking with Ikorodu News Network (INN) post-event, Prince Olumide Musediq explained that the group aims to emancipate the youths and give them a voice. According to Olumide, "We involve in all developmental projects, and we've built satisfactory synergy with the Executive Chairman of Ijede LCDA, Hon. Motunrayo Gbadebo-Alogba and also the legislative arm of the council". He continued, "As a pressure group, we have organised many projects like political symposiums to enlighten our people on their right to vote. Also, we've organised healthy peaceful protests and press conferences". "We are the reason behind the uninterrupted supply in Ijede LCDA and its environs, and also we've partnered with all security agencies to ensure Ijede LCDA is a peaceful crime-free society". Olumide finalised by elucidating that its members have been empowered and committed in numerous areas to keep them playing responsible roles for the good of the community. At the high point of the occasion, Alhaji Bashiru Saminu, Alhaji Olanrewaju Tiamiyu, Alhaji Wasiu Agoro and Alhaji Wahab Bello were recognised with special service and support Awards.

TINUBU @71: WHY PRESIDENT-ELECT IS GOD’S GIFT TO NIGERIA – OBASA ®™√ INN Nigeria © img 20230330 wa00028587412206409722933 Nigeria's President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is one of God's gifts to Nigeria, the most populous black nation on earth, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has said. Dr Obasa said this in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Eromosele Ebhomele, congratulating Tinubu who clocked 71 on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. The Speaker said Tinubu, a puzzle too hard to crack', equates with great men around the world whose stories show great passion and undying love for their countries and citizens. According to him, the recent presidential election won by Asiwaju Tinubu is icing on the cake for the President-elect, who has never shied away from being of service to God and humanity. The Speaker recalled the sacrifice Tinubu made to take Nigeria back from the military and entrench democracy in the country, noting how difficult it is to find individuals with such a level of patriotism. "For a man, whose thought at all times is about salvaging the country from economic and social bondage, victory at the recent polls came at the right time. "There is no way Nigeria's political story can be written without Asiwaju featuring prominently as a result of the positive roles he played before the current democratic dispensation and up till this moment. "We believe that Almighty Allah has a reason for giving him to us in Nigeria, especially at this time of the nation's journey. We do not doubt his capacity to deliver. He has done it before. "With a birthday that comes exactly two months to his oath-taking as President of Nigeria, it is not out of place to say Asiwaju is a blessing to us, one sent to put things right and lay the foundation upon which modern Nigeria would be built. "On behalf of my family, members, staff and management of the Lagos State House of Assembly, I congratulate our dear Asiwaju on his 71st birthday and pray that Allah continues to favour him with vitality, good health and wisdom to navigate our country out of the woods, amin," Obasa prayed.

TINUBU AT 71: ASIWAJU IS ALLAH’S CHOSEN, HE IS A SPECIAL BEING – SHEIKH YAHYA ASHAOLA ®™√ INN Nigeria © 78657hjkoooiio2544337968922659084 Spiritual Leader, His Eminence, Sheikh Yahya Ashaola (As-Samadaani), Chief Imam of Oriwu Central Mosque of Ikorodu has referred to Nigeria's President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a special being chosen by Allah to lead the current generation. In a sermon given to Muslim faithfuls on Wednesday, 29th of March 2023, marking the 71st birthday of Bola Tinubu, the chief Imam exhorted Nigerians to pray for the President-Elect, for Allah to bestow on him the ample disposition to oversee the nation. The liturgy was delivered after a special prayer and Thanksgiving session were held in the mosque dedicating Tinubu's birthday. Sheikh Ashaola, in his words, "Tinubu is the epitome of Intellectual capacity, a human resource developer and an economic stimulant, equipped for this time to rescue the shattered dreams of Nigerians". Urging the Muslim communities to put him (Tinubu) in their devotions at all times, the chief Imam said he can see the special work of Allah in the life of the incoming president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Underscoring another reason for brethren to beseech for Tinubu, Sheikh Ashaola said winning the 2023 presidential election has hoisted Bola Tinubu into a stature that even some well-respected political figures didn't attain. He explained, "The Late Obafemi Awolowo was considered the best President we never had. He was the head of the Yorubas, but he never permeated the North and East". "Today, Asiwaju has accomplished that!". "He's the most successful politician in Nigeria as we speak". "Asiwaju also suffered for the Democracy we enjoy today, he was tortured and humiliated, but his sense of focus and divine direction kept him moving to where he is now" Sheikh Ashaola added Crediting Tinubu's intellectual strength, Sheikh Ashaola asserted that the President-Elect is known to assemble the best brains to achieve sufficient results, narrating that he exemplified the same act during his first 6 months in office as Governor of Lagos State back in 1999. Subsequently, lecturing attendees, Imam Ojifinni Abdul-Ganiu, the Mufasir of Ramadan 1444/23 in Ikorodu, illustrated that it takes an extraordinary leader to discard his birthday celebration to engage more in service to humanity. Imam Ojifinni stated that the Yoruba population should emulate Bola Tinubu's life ethics, and ensure to give his incoming administration the peace it deserves. "No Yoruba group or body should be brainwashed or influenced to cause havoc on Asiwaju's presidential tenure, because the truth is, his effective performance at Aso Rock will open more doors to Yoruba leaders in the future, given them opportunities to also become president". "We must be careful not to allow people to use us to generate chaos and anarchy towards Asiwaju's tenure, it is the only way we can show him our profound support" Imam Ojifinni asserted On the backdrop of his 71st birthday, President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu directed that special prayers and thanksgiving service be held on March 29, 2023, instead of his annual birthday colloquium. The special prayers were also held in Lagos and other parts of the country, simultaneously.
