LGA Elections fever grips Lagosians... Some of those who want to rule Ejigbo

Dr Olatunde Olusunmade
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
Another big contender for the seat of Ejigbo power is son of one of Ejigbo’s major political war horses Nurudeen 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.

Dr Olumide Ojoola.
Many people got to know of the political might of Dr. Olumide Ojoola, one of the many medical doctor sons of Oba Moroof Ojoola, Ojoon of Ejigbo when he landed from the blues to contest the primaries to be a member of Lagos House of Assembly representing Oshodi 11 but did not succeed. He came second in the contest after about a month of joining the race also planting himself into political reckoning by so doing.
He wants to play a role in the way his community is run either as Chairman or any other position that presents itself.

Elder Olu Arulogun
One time secretary to Ejigbo Local Council Elder Olu Arulogu has not yet jettisoned the idea of becoming Chairman of Ejigbo much sooner than later. More meetings upon meetings still takes place around him regularly to actualise this dream. SA few weeks ago, Arulogun took over Ejigbo with fliers, posters and banners promising a new dawn..new hope and new vision,

Suleimon Tajudeen
He served as the first Councilor from Ejigbo in the days when  the community was under Oshodi.
He later also served as Councilor of Ifoshi ward and became leader of Ejigbo LCDA House. Taju is said to have an eye on something.

Adewale Akinlusi
He has always been very passionate about development at grass roots level and would love to actualise this passion if he gets at the top of local government administration as Chairman. Akinlusi, a maritime specialist is contesting for the PDP and hopes for the ticket of his party.
Akinlusi tells every one that he is on a rescue mission for Ejigbo which according to him has been in coma under the hands of APC
.
Rev. Augustine Afolabi  Ojo
The son of renowned religious leader Late Bishop Aduragbemi Ojo of Mounts of Salvation Apostolic Church( Mosac) is also gearing up to become Chairman of Ejigbo under PDP. If he is chosen by his party, he would bring about his experience at ward level where he has been Zonal Chairman, Coordinating Chairman and a member of ward exco to bring about what he considers a wind of change.

Hon. Grace Nwankwo Okere

The well known fashion designer and cosmetologist  and women leader has her eyes on the Councilorship of Ifoshi ward where she believes she will make an impact. As women leader of Igbo speaking community, Grace seems to have total support of the Igbos in Ejigbo. She will do battle for APC.
