Comrade Ayodele Adewale immediate past

the House of Representatives (Amuwo and Oriade) Amuwo Odofin Federal
constituency was received by the leaders of the All Progressive Congress (APC)

Local Government Party Chairman, Hon. Hassan Sabitiu and other party chieftains.
Comrade Adewale visited the (LCDA) ahead
of the APC primaries for consultation and lobby as their candidate and solicited
for their support at the upcoming Party primaries as their candidate.
He gave an overview of his background, his
performance as Local Government Chairman of Amowu Odofin, how he had worked
assiduously to upgrade social infrastructure and other amenities thereby
transforming Amuwo Odofin Local Government into a thriving economic hub for
business activities, a peaceful and secure environment for business and its
residents and also putting Amuwo Odofin Federal Constituency on the global map
through his foreign engagements especially on climate change advocacy and
international relationships with foreign missions which had led the US to
support the riverine communities with support from the US marines in carrying
out medical health mission yearly while he was in office as executive chairman.
He was very specific in how he would
enrich the lives of the Oriade LCDA communities if elected to the House of
Representatives. He pointed out that the Oriade LCDA competitive advantage was
its natural coastal habitat which could be unlocked to create sustainable
economic growth and jobs so that the people are better able to respond to the
changing economic needs and opportunities of their area. Key areas of focus are
tourism, hospitality, food and fishing sectors. Unlocking these sectors will
help to create employment, improve physical infrastructure, business support,
training and development of the youth’s peculiar potentials.
Adewale assured the members that he had
the clout and connections to bring in the investments needed to unlock these
activities. He would ensure that laws were created for a sustainable tourism
strategy and regularly engage with the community’s and stakeholders via town
hall meetings to get their collective views on various projects. He advised the
leaders and EXCO members to think of long term benefits that this projects will
have for all.
He also stated that he would help to
develop an environmental physical planning master plan for the development of
the riverine areas in conjunction with the Lagos State government ministry of
physical planning.
‘As a lawmaker, I will propose laws that
will better the infrastructure especially the dilapidated ones while creating
new ones. We have done it in Amuwo Odofin LGA during my stint as the Executive
Chairman, and I can influence it again. We positioned Amuwo Odofin in the
international map and had relations with the United Nations headquarters in New
York. All these influenced the goodwill we enjoy today’.
It takes the deep to call unto the deep,
Comrade Ayodele finally noted.

that must not to die but utilized to the advantage of the community while
advising him to keep on with his campaign and by the special grace of GOD that
