The youths of Adesola Gberimi Ward B area of New Oko Oba in Ijaiye Ojokoro LCDA, have made a presentation of 645,000 naira Cheque to support the Lagos State House of Assembly aspiration of Mr.Adeoye Olateju in Ifako-Ijaiye II constituency.
The group led by Com.Olumayowa Olayinka ( (aka Mayorla),while presenting the cheque early hours of Tuesday said that they felt the need to give his aspiration all backings required, especially finance owing to the fact that Teju as he is fondly called by many in the LCDA, has always identified in all ramifications with youth’s concerns in the locality.
Olayinka said that: “ Hon. Teju you have always been a leader of all youths in Ojokoro LCDA, supporting us in all activities we’ve carried out in the community and as we all know one good turn deserves another, we are here to state our resolve to give you our full and maximum support for the actualization of your aspiration.
“Here today in concurrence with other youths of like minds from Adesola Gberimi Ward B area of New Oko Oba in Ijaiye Ojokoro LCDA, I present to you a cheque of 645,000 naira in support of your aspiration.
“Having you represent us at the Lagos Assembly is our dream and goal and we will not rest on our oars till this comes to fruition, we will be there with you all the way because you have also motivated other youths positively.”
In his response to the youth’s kind gesture in support of his aspiration, elated Olateju noted that the gesture was unprecedented and thus gives him more gas and prod to go all out with their support.
Teju said that: “ It is actually unprecedented in the history of Ojokoro LCDA and I must state that I am so surprised because I never saw it coming at all.
“ I appreciate you all for this and I must state here clearly that I now have much gas to go all out for the gold; I mean Ifako-Ijaiye constituency II seat at the state Assembly, thank you so much”.
It will be recalled that the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Council (NEC), recently pegged the price of expression of interest and nomination forms for the State House of Assembly at 2million naira.
