In a statement, by Tolu Mustapha, Special Adviser, Media and Public Affairs to Hon. Adedeji Dhikrullahi Olajide, the two term lawmaker congratulated the incoming chairmen, urging them to prioritize service delivery and put the people first.
“As you take office, remember that the dividend of democracy is not just about political power, but about improving the lives of the people.”

He admonished the new chairmen to be responsive, inclusive, and proactive in addressing challenges facing their respective local governments.
“You have a sacred responsibility to deliver quality services, promote economic growth, and ensure the well-being of the people.”
