EJIGBO LCDA NEEDS A NEW DIRECTION

It is certainly no longer news that the All Progressive Congress (APC) government that has ruled the Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA) for 16 years has neglected the needs of the people, and maybe even forgotten that the people of our LCDA deserve better living conditions and infrastructural development. They seem to have overlooked the fact that the main goal of life is to ensure human survival and to ensure that each and every one of us is able to realize our full potential in life. We need to enhance our well being and be given access to opportunities that will support a fulfilled and accomplished life, a life filled with happiness, joy, love and contentment. That is our dream.

But how can we have such an enriched and economically productive life without the infrastructure necessary to ensure that this dream becomes a reality? Poor road network systems, lack of access to clean water, improper drainage systems mostly needed during the rainy season, inadequate quality and affordable education for our children, non existent security in our neighbourhoods, high unemployment levels, and little to no empowerment programs for our youths and women are certainly no way to achieve this dream. Our government needs to implement the infrastructure that will allow its constituents access to opportunities that will ensure an enriched life.

With relatively good management in Ejigbo LCDA and with careful, judicious and equitable use of available resources, we can achieve wonders. There is no reason why most of the essential goals of human endeavour and infrastructural development has not and should not be achieved in Ejigbo LCDA. We have the knowledge, manpower, resources, and wealth to achieve these goals, but unfortunately, gross mismanagement and corruption have contributed to the  under-developmenin of our LCDA. All we need to have access to some of the basic necessities of life in Ejigbo LCDA is to have the “political will” to break the mould and to remain resolutely consistent and focused. Some of our reform policies, which need to be doggedly pursued, are fundamental and  indispensable to human development. With sound and laudable reform policies and development plans that we plan to implement during our tenure at Ejigbo LCDA, we anticipate a marked improvement in the lives of our community members and in the lives of our people.

The value of voting leaders with a vested interest in the well-being of their people into political positions is evident in the development currently taking place in Ejigbo LCDA and the Oshodi/Isolo Constituency 2. This level of development started taking place after we all voted Hon. Jude Idimogu into the Lagos State House of Assembly and Hon. Tony Nwulu into the Federal House of Representatives. Both of them are from the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), thus allowing for our voices and cries to be heard at both the state and federal level respectively.

I am passionate about your well-being and in your welfare. I have a vested interest in Ejigbo LCDA. I want to walk hand in hand with you to transform Ejigbo LCDA into a community of increased opportunities, which I envision as the platform that will contribute to your increased well-being and welfare. If you vote I, Hon. Adefenwa Ibrahim Olayinka (A10) as the next Chairman of Ejigbo LCDA, I will transform the situation in our community and make Ejigbo LCDA a better place for not only you and I, but also for our future generation.
