The Executive President of the Local Government area of the State of Lagos, Hon Ganiu Egunjobi, talks about the disputes that followed the presidency of all the progressives of the Congress of the Progressives (APC) and primary primary councilors for the surveys of the Council scheduled for July 12, and their achievements, among other sun problems.
The primary of May 10 of his party, APC, for the next council surveys in the state were tarnished by the disputes, since some dissatisfied party members accused the leaders of the party to impose their preferred party candidates for the party. Can you share your point of view about this?
I think the reactions in those rooms in which they regret the 'imposition' are in the character of politicians in our climate. I am sure that if the results had gone, they would be lavish in the electoral process and their managers. The reality is that politics in Nigeria is evolving, and one day those of us who are involved in it will guide ourselves by the spirit of sportsmanship and disinterest. In my estimation of the newly completed primary, the process was transparent, free and fair. The electoral committee presented a good show and must be praised, the same with the leadership of the party in the state.
There was a joint protest in AGEGE LG and its Sub-Conde, Orile-August Lcda, by some members of the APC against the president of the Chamber of the Establishment of the State of Lagos, RT. EXCM MUDASHIRU OBASA. He was accused of imposing his subordinates and son on the will of the people as party candidates in both areas for the next elections. Was this the case?
Well, I saw the video of the so -called protesters, and I was surprised to see those who led it. A political neophyte, who is a lawyer for charges and dances, anchored him. For his information, this man, until recently, was sprouting on the speaker, thinking that singing the praise of Obasa would give him the presidency ticket of the party for Orile-August. The same goes for Solo Osolana, the presidency candidate of the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) for AGEGE in the last council survey. He just returned to our APC, about two months ago and covered our presidency ticket in Agege. This is someone who is not qualified to dispute the election in APC, following the guide of the party that prohibits the people who drag our party to the courts to seek elective positions on the party platform. We allow you to compete due to our magnanimity, and now you are invading our hospitality. It is based in the United Kingdom as its co-viaje, Biodun Ogunji, an aspiring presidency and Bukola Sofidiya who also wants to be president of the local government of the United States of the United States. We know that they are not alone in their unfortunate attempt to belittle our leader, Obasa, by taking bad luck. We know some of their payment teachers in the people of a certain senator in the service of the state of Ogun and a member of the three -time member of the House of the Assembly in our area, to mention only some.
The party has published a complete list of APC candidates for the Board survey with Agege that has Obasa's son as a fellow formula for the presidency candidate of the party in the area. Doesn't that validate the concern raised by those harmed leaders that Obasa wants to convert both Agege and Oril-August to his private fief?
One of the oldest democracies is that of the United States, and JF Kennedy, during his time as president, appointed his younger brother, Robert, the country's attorney general. When George Bush was president of the United States, his son was Governor of Texas and then became the president of the country. The latter's brother, Jeb Bush, was Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007. That is the democracy that Nigeria stamped his later. Now we are going home, at a time when the former president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, was governor of the state of Kwara, while her sister, Senator Gbemisola Saraki, represented Kwara Central in the Senate at the same time. In this country, the precedents abound, even in other industries such as the Dafinones that are public accountants: the family patriarch, Senator David and the matriarch, the ego and their three sons and two daughters. I dare to say that the people who cover the 'imposition' with respect to the subject of the speaker's son are not fair with the young man and the Agege. This is someone who is well read, a doctoral student for the case, and who has been playing Agege's life much earlier. In fact, it deserves to succeed. For his education, Osolana's father Alaba Osolana, is a former president of Old Agege's advice, Sofidiya's late father was a councilor here in Agege and aspires to the presidency of the Council. Now, Agege's people want Obasa's son as president of the Council and these mutineers are hitting their heads against the wall. They must be suffering from selective amnesia.
You just touched your succession. In approximately two months, his term will come to an end. What would you say are the achievements of your administration?
We have done a lot in terms of physical infrastructure and human capital development. We build primary health centers in almost all our seven neighborhoods, the roads were built or rehabilitated with drainage established in almost every corner in our community. We were built several classrooms in public schools, and some were rehabilitated while regularly provided students with uniforms, bags, tables and chairs and writing materials. The local government now has a computer -based test, which my administration built and equipped, which now allows the Jamb candidates for our area to feel for the exam. We also build a legislative building conducive to our councilors, one of its kind in Nigeria. In addition, in the area of human capital, our vocational training center was updated on my clock, and many of our graduates in the tailoring, hairdressing, graphic design and other lines are pulling their weight in their various businesses. We have a drop -out program for Loures, which arose immediately after Endsars. According to this program, repentant trailers are made to acquire skills of your choice in our vocational center, each in a monthly stipend. It is possible that the local government service commission, a government agency of the state of Lagos, uses the staff of the councils in the State. But in our own wisdom, and in my watch, we use more than 700 non -thoughtful employees and place most of them in a monthly stipend of N30,000 each. In that league are the officers of our security arm, the name of Paramole Code, which obtains N50,000 each, every month, to maintain peace and order in our community.
Awori and non -indigenous dichotomy has always been a failure line in Agege's policy. As an interested part, where does it belong to the political division?
Well, I think that some of these failures, such as religion, color, tribe and languages, are doing a great service to the human race. In fact, we are all born and raised in Agege. They are going to think about it, no person at an Agege boom is more agoge than me. In addition, the origin of all AWORIS is Isheri Olofin or Ota, and both are under the traditional Egba Council. In Egbaland, I am a legal boss like Otun de Egbaland. For me, dichotomy does not contain water and is inconsequential.
