BROTHERS AT WAR OVER CHAIRMANSHIP POSITION

BROTHERS AT WAR OVER CHAIRMANSHIP POSITION

Hon Tajudeen Sulaimon  is elder brother to Hon Ganiu Sulaimon from same father and same womb.

However today, they are in a big fight over who becomes Ejigbo Local Council chairman. 

Both are currently tugged in war because of a mere political seat of power.

As you read this, Hon Tajudeen and his brother are undergoing a shadow primary election to decide who flies APC  flag when Lagos LGA elections come in July.

Many think Hon Ganiu should have stepped down for his elder brother who had been Speaker of Ejigbo Councillors before to upgrade .

But Ganiu, known to many as Idera will take non of that urging his elder brother to also make the move and step down for him.

Many also think that they could forge a more formidable front together but that is not likely because  politics is war.

Oduse highly favoured

Hon Daniel Olusegun Oduse

Oduse is among the multitude of contenders for the highly coveted seat to be vacated by Hon Monsuru Obe.

He has campaigned vigorously across the community just as many have taken note of his philanthropy and benovelence across board.

LAGOS COUNCIL ELECTION; TENSION AS MANDATE GROUP HOLDS SHADOW PRIMARIES

LAGOS COUNCIL ELECTION;

TENSION IN EJIGBO OVER SHADOW PRIMARIES

By Bamidele Alao, Editor

Hon Kehinde Bamigbetan

 (leader Mandate movement)

About now today April 12, 2025, members of the Mandate movement , unarguably one of the most popular political caucus groups in Ejigbo are gathering in their numbers at the Ejigbo home of its leader Hon Kehinde Bamigbetan to decide who 'goes to war' for them during the forth coming Lagos Council elections.

Bamigbetan who was former Chairman Ejigbo LCDA and now SA to Minister of Mines and solid minerals set up the group before his victory as LCDA Chairman and have continued to keep it up to speed in Ejigbo political equation.

Already tension is brewing as the many aspirants including the many LG chairman hopefuls as well as Councillors jostle to win in a plot that plans to prune down the number and get a most popular aspirant.

News reaching ECD say former  Supervisor who later was appointed to be Sole Administrator of Oshodi  Isolo LGA Hon Taoheed Adevayo Taiwo may have jettisoned the idea with apparent allegation that the committee is skewed against him.

Hon Taoheed Adebayo Taiwo ..is he out of the race.

Again one of the nominees into the committee Hon Tanigbola said to be aligned to Hon Taiwo may also have thrown in the towel.

Contestants for Chairmanship position are to pay five hundred  thousand naira while councillors pay two hundred thousand naira to participate.

According to the programme sighted by ECD repoters, the secretariat of the panel starts sitting today while from Monday 15, the actual screening will set in motion.

It is expected that Mandate group shadow primaries screening committe led by Engr Gbenga Fayomi would have reached a conclusion on their best candidates.

The Mandate movement shadow primaries in Ejigbo LCDA is taken so seriously because any one who emerges winner as chairmanship or councillors seems already blessed to coast home to victory.

Watch out for blow by blow account of how the matter goes down.
