IBESHE TITUN COMMUNITY LAMENTS 2 YEARS OF POOR POWER SUPPLY, CALLS ON IKEJA ELECTRIC, REP. BABAJIMI BENSON FOR NEW TRANSFORMER ®™√ INN Nigeria © storage emulated 0 pictures comica cartoon16785982920061950491421025041683 Housing in Ibeshe Tintun community has called on the power supply company, Ikeja Electric and Ikorodu Federal Lawmaker, Rep. Babajimi Benson MHR to come to their rescue. The ward D town in Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA has been experiencing poor power supply for the past 2years, according to dwellers. Bringing Ikorodu News Network (INN) attention to the challenge on the 11th of March 2023, residents revealed that the problem started when they had issues with their transformer, which Ikeja Electric opted to fix. Mr Rilwan Adewale Isabajo explains, "Ikeja Electric took the transformer to repair, but on returning it, they brought back another transformer with a lower capacity, which could not carry our entire community like the prior one". "We were automatically placed on light rotation and were informed to source for another transformer to balance our community power supply usage". "Ever since then, half of our neighbourhood does not have light due to the rotation". "Information we also learnt was that Ikeja Electric Company requested the community construct a slab for the new transformer to be placed, which they've done but still, we are yet to see a new transformer," Rilwan Adewale said. Moving around the town, Ikorodu News Network (INN) saw that the power supply shortage is presently affecting areas like; Alogba Street leading to AP bus stop, Ajetunmobi Street, Ajelebo Street, Salisu street, Adelegan street, Alhaji KSB kamoju close, Oluwoye community, Abule Ibeshe, Abiodun Ogurinde crescent, all in Ibeshe Titun community. He continued, "Whenever we try to engage our CDA leadership on the matter, we end up with no progressive response to the sob, and efforts to reach out to Ikeja Electric have also proved abortive". "Businesses are running down and homes are steadily operating on generators alone, for those that have the money". "Early this year, 27th of January, we wrote to the office of our federal lawmaker, Honourable Babajimi Benson, bemoaning on this same matter and seeking his support". "We believe that his intervention will go a long way to remedy our challenge" Rilwan Adewale asserted Another resident who accompanied Mr Rilwan Adewale further said that the light shortage has resulted in daily difficulties and botheration. He added that residents will be greatly benefitted if the community's request for the transformer is attended to with timely effort. The only functioning transformer (returned by Ikeja Electric) is positioned at Guardian street.

TINUBU AT 71: IKORODU CENTRAL MOSQUE, OBUN-OKE HOLDS PRAYER & THANKSGIVING SESSION FOR NIGERIA’S PRESIDENT-ELECT ®™√ INN Nigeria © 900877ikkk7752899711198401541 As President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu calls for Nigerians to engage spiritually in commemorating his 71st birthday, a special prayers session was held at Ikorodu Central Mosque, Obun-Oke, Ikorodu. The unique prayers and thanksgiving service dated Wednesday, March 29, 2023, was organised as directed by the President-Elect, instead of his annual birthday colloquium. Presided over by the Grand Chief Imam of Ikorodu division, Sheikh (Alhaji) Seifudeen Ayinla Ademoritan Olowo-Oribi, the devotion program drew Islamic clerics from the six districts consisting of Ikorodu division. Chief Asipa Kaoli, Alhaji Waheed Animashaun, Hon. Lanre Balogun, Alhaji Decubano and other party leaders were in attendance. Executive Chairman of Ikorodu Local Government, Hon. Wasiu Adesina, Bldr Olusesan Daini, Executive Chairman of Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA, Hon. Motunrayo Gbadebo-Alogba, Executive Chairman of Ijede LCDA and Bldr Adeola Adebisi Banjo, Executive Chairman of Ikorodu North LCDA also joined the sacred gathering as well. Coinciding with the Ramadan season, Sheikh (Alhaji) Chief Imam Seifudeen Ayinla Ademoritan Olowo-Oribi, in his lecture urged the Muslim faithfuls to prioritise praying for the peace, unity and progress of Nigeria as the nation readies to embrace another duration of leadership. Sheikh Olowo-Oribi further prayed to Almighty Allah to grant Bola Tinubu long life, good health and wisdom with which he would oversee the nation to a prestigious elevation as President. Subsequently, the Grand Chief Imam and over a hundred rabi Imams who assembled in the mosque, read the full Quran to offer prayers for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Speaking from his administration standpoint, Hon Wasiu Adesina, Executive Chairman of Ikorodu LG said Tinubu's electoral victory was the providence of God and that such prayer session is timely and ideal in reverence to Almighty God to further lead him right to steer the affairs of the country. According to Adesina, for Asiwaju to put his birthday colloquium on hold for the third time to lift the nation into the hands of Almighty God shows the kind of leader he is. "We must continue to pray for him for God to grant him the strength and capacity to take this country to a higher level" Adesina asserted. This year will be the third in recent times the birthday colloquium will not hold in deference to developments in the country. In 2020, the 12th edition of the colloquium marking Asiwaju's 68th birthday was put off to empathize with those who lost their lives or were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. And in 2022, the birthday symposium was also called off by Asiwaju Tinubu right at the venue of the event when news emerged of the terror attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train in which several persons died and many others were abducted. The Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos venue was already filled with dignitaries to celebrate the birthday when Asiwaju took to the podium to announce the cancellation of the event. The former Governor of Lagos had said it would not be proper for him as a statesman to be celebrating when such a tragedy had befallen the nation. This year, the president-elect said the date, which falls within the holy month of Ramadan, should be dedicated to prayers and seeking God's guidance for him and the country as he prepares to take the reins of leadership.

TINUBU AT 71: SANWO-OLU, POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS LEADERS HOLD THANKSGIVING SERVICE, SPECIAL PRAYERS ®™√ INN Nigeria © fb img 16801195295592416447382723789999 Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat; Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa; Secretary to the State Government, Mrs Folasade Jaji, members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), political and religious leaders on Wednesday held a thanksgiving service and special prayers in different parts of Lagos to celebrate the 71st birthday of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. The thanksgiving service and special prayers were held simultaneously at Chapel of Christ the Light and Secretariat Community Central Mosque, Alausa, Ikeja as well as in the Central Mosques of the five divisions in the State – Ikorodu, Badagry, Ikeja, Lagos and Epe. During the special birthday thanksgiving and special prayers, Governor Sanwo-Olu and members of his cabinet, GAC members, and political and religious leaders showered encomiums on the President-elect for his leadership, mentorship and passion for Lagos and Nigeria. Islamic and Christian clerics also prayed for the celebrant, Asiwaju Tinubu; for Peace, Progress, Unity and New Nigeria. Prayers were also held for a successful Inauguration Day (May 29) and for Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Dr Obafemi Hamzat. Speaking at the Special Prayers held at Secretariat Community Central Mosque, Alausa, Governor Sanwo-Olu, reiterated calls for Nigerians to be steadfast in their prayers for the President-elect to succeed as the president of the country. Sanwo-Olu, who was represented at the event by Dr Hamzat stated that no leader has the intention to fail but sometimes gets overwhelmed by challenges and unexpected issues upon assumption of office. He, therefore, seeks the continuous prayers of Nigerians that the President-elect be surrounded by good people as advisers and aides who have the interest of the country and the citizens at heart. Sanwo-Olu disclosed that Tinubu has a lot of good plans for Nigerians and will surely perform well in office. He, however, solicited the support and understanding of Nigerians as Asiwaju Tinubu leads the country to greater heights. “Asiwaju himself is very grateful to Almighty Allah for what He has done for him, my prayer for him is for Allah to be with him, to guide him to achieve those things he desires for this country because he has a lot of plans. I just pray that all those plans will materialize to impact people and this country positively,” he said. The Governor described Asiwaju as a very bold and determined man who has persevered a lot. “He doesn’t run away from challenges. So he is a man that understands what he needs for a nation to be developed and I just pray that he will be able to do all those things in his mind for development,” he said. Speaking at the Thanksgiving Service held at the Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Governor Sanwo-Olu, who was also represented by his Chief of Staff, Mr Tayo Ayinde, praised God for Tinubu's life, and prayed that the “visionary leader would be strengthened to bring about development and programmes that would uplift the people.” Ayinde, who read the first lesson from Psalm 111: 1-10, said the birthday Thanksgiving Service is not just to express gratitude to God on Asiwaju Tinubu's birthday, but also to appreciate Him for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate's victory in the last elections. He prayed that God will give the President-elect His wisdom, guidance and direction for Asiwaju Tinubu as he prepares to take the reins of leadership in Nigeria. “Today is an auspicious occasion because we are gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of a great man, a visionary, transformative leader. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is a pride to us in Lagos and a priceless global icon; an unrelenting fighter for democracy, an inextinguishable guiding light to the nation and an inspiration to me as well as the progressive's family. “We give glory to God for answering all the prayers as evidenced in the declaration of the celebrant of today, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President-Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We also beseech the Almighty God, especially in this Lenten season, to strengthen him, grant him good health, wisdom, inspiration and all that he will require to accomplish all the laudable plans, programmes, and policies that will uplift our dear country and all Nigerians to greatness,” he prayed. Speaking during the Thanksgiving Service, the Prelate Emeritus of the Methodist Church Nigeria, His Eminence Sunday Makinde, said Asiwaju Tinubu was elected to rebuild Nigeria, raise Nigeria to enviable heights, and re-establish peace and unity in the country. Makinde in his exhortation during the service described Tinubu's election as a destiny for a purpose. He, therefore, sought ardent prayers for Tinubu for “divine wisdom, robust good health, victory over his enemies, and for him to finish his terms successfully.” The Prelate Emeritus also congratulated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, for their victory in the March 18 gubernatorial poll, saying their re-election was possible because of their hard work and people-oriented programmes. "I will advise Tinubu to choose his team of ministers, advisers, and ambassadors under divine prayers. He should consult God before man. He should use the best brains and professionals, even from the opposition parties to actualise his dreams of a better Nigeria. “Tinubu must work on achieving religious tolerance, and ethnic and tribal unity. He must ensure that social amenities are in abundance -water, electricity, educational and medical rehabilitation, agricultural revolution and development, and ensure massive job creation to reduce unemployment and brain drain," Makinde advised the President-elect. Also speaking, the Chief Imam, Alausa Secretariat Community Central, Imam, Abdul-Hakeem Abdul-Gafar, during his lecture stated that the gathering was to give thanks to Allah for permitting Asiwaju to emerge as the President-elect at the concluded presidential election and for preserving his life to witness his 71st birthday which comes up in the Holy Month of Ramadan. In his remarks, the National Missioner of the Ansar- ud- deen Society of Nigeria, Sheikh AbdurRahman Ahmad, charged Nigerians to continually pray for the President-elect that Allah should help him, lead and guide him in the journey. He added that the people need to be supportive by being constructive, truthful and privately correcting him and not continually praising him. Sheikh Ahmad also urged them to acknowledge that Asiwaju Tinubu is not a magician knowing that the few months ahead may be tough and therefore, the people need to be tolerant as there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
