Dr Olatunde

He is one of the biggest contenders for the seat of Chairman
of Ejigbo LCDA. Olusunmade, a medical doctor of great repute has been seeking
this seat for sometime now even though he never made it covert. This time
around, he is not in the dark but out in the open. He had told ECD that it is
not a rumour that he is interested in the seat when the Lagos LGA elections are
held. He is the founder and medical Director of Estate Clinics,situated at
Jakande estate, Ejigbo. He is of the APC.
Engr. Monsuru Obe

Obe, Monsuru Obe was Vice Chairman of Ejigbo under Hon Kehinde Bamigbetan and
logically feels he is the most qualified and experienced to fill the seat
vacated by his boss.
He will readily talk about his in depth knowledge of how
things work at the grassroots local government level, Obe does not mince words
about his intention to battle for this seat. He says “Let us have a free and
fair primaries or a debate and see who will explain well all he wants to do as
Chairman”
Obe is a civil engineer. He is a solid member of APC.
Engr. Ibrahim
Adefenwa.
He is not new in the contest for the leadership of the Tiger
House, the headquarters of Ejigbo Local council. Ibrahim Adefenwa better known
as A10 is a PDP man to the core who believes that Ejigbo and indeed Nigeria
will be better off if PDP is in power not only nationally but also at the LGA
level.
He never ceases to tell all who care to listen that APC has
failed Nigeria and indeed Ejigbo so must be changed.
See what we did at the House of reps and House of Assembly
and the contributions of our Hon members and ypou will know that PDP means
business.

either as Chairman or any other position that presents itself.
