SURULERE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT THAT FITS INTO THE “CHANGE” SLOGAN OF THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS.
We demanded for proper democratic process in the primary elections of the ruling party in Lagos state and we got it especially in surulere local government where the two incumbent lawmakers in the name of Hon. Balogun Razaq and Kabir Lawal (a.k.a Caesar) . The two lawmakers lost to two newbies in politics which are Hon. Deji Awobotu and the veteran actor Desmond Elliot respectively. We in surulere local goverment has refused to subscribe to the ruse orchestrated by some leaders of the party to impose or return the non-functional lawmakers in the state especially Hon. Razaq Balogun and Hon. Kabir Lawal who launched into the lagos state political terrain from the slums of ijeshatedo and shitta respectively but refuse to be positively impactful in this two areas during their 3 terms as a lawmaker in the Lagos state house of assembly. Silifatu Akinsanya street where Hon. Balogun Razaq lived before he got elected and clinched the state legislative seat of the constituency for twelve years is not been tarred till this moment . Hon. Kabir Lawal has never done any meaningful project in shitta except for a borehole water project he constructed and never worked after few months of commissioning. In my earlier write up I had noted that the APC will only make mockery of itself if there exist an ignorance of transparent democratic ethos especially in surulere local government constituencies where we need more focused leaders in the helms of affairs who are ready to reorder our disordered local governments and exhibit transparent and good governance from the ward level to the state level. These feats , the current politicians in surulere local government lacks which include Hakeem Bamgbola , Gbenga Oyebode , Arole Fancy , Hakeem Dickson , Omobolanle Akinyemi-Obe , Aliu kazeem , Tajudeen Oriyomi Ajide , Joe Igbokwe e.t.c
Moreover the primary election held in surulere local government is a clear signal that we want change and the political criminal class should go and sleep, this same amazing election result is expected for the upcoming chairmanship and national assembly primary elections.
