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.
