...Lauds Gov. Sanwo-Olu on his commitment to deliver the Agege Pen Cinema Flyover Bridge 

A former member of the House of Representatives, Mr Taofeek Adaranijo, has applauded Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to the completion of projects inherited from his predecessor, Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode.

Adaranijo, who represented Agege Federal Constituency in the 8th National Assembly, gave the commendation in an interview with newsmen on Saturday in Lagos.

According to him, Sanwo-Olu, in the last 500 days of his administration, has not let the people down with his infrastructural development, response to COVID-19 pandemic and engagement of people.

“Sanwo-Olu has been performing excellently well and there have been a lot of improvements in the provision of the dividends of democracy to the people.

“He met a lot of projects yet to be completed by the last administration and he has focused on the completing them.

“Everyone can see these all over the state; this is commendable.

“I know, immediately those projects are completed, the governor will embark on new projects,’’ Adaranijo, a former Orile-Agege Council boss said.

He said that the governor has continued to make life easy and more abundant for residents of the state in terms of infrastructural development.

Adaranijo, who commended Sanwo-Olu’s response to COVID-19 pandemic and the #ENDSARS protesters, added that his commitment to deliver the Agege Pen Cinema Flyover Bridge was commendable.

According to him, the bridge will open up Agege and enable other developments to spring up in the area when completed.

The former lawmaker said that the state government should continue on his commitment to repairing roads and build more schools in Agege and its environs.

According to him, efforts are being made to build more classrooms in some schools, provide boreholes, street lights, electricity transformers and massive empowerment for youths and women when he represented the federal constituency.

On #ENDSARS protests, Adaranijo commended the youths’ peaceful conduct and both the state and federal government for handling the protest with maturity.

He said that, having articulated their demands that elicited responses and actions from the government on police brutality, the youth should ease the tension and end the protest.

On the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, Adaranijo urged the federal government to expedite actions on the project, saying the condition of the road has become an eye sore.

He suggested that since the road is beneficial to Lagos and Ogun residents, government of both states should put machineries in motion to rehabilitate the road.

APC AGEGE FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY TICKET: QUE SERA SERA

.

By Hon. Taofeek Adaranijo, MHR, Agege Federal Constituency.

AgegePulse Magazine

Although, this medium shouldn't have been where I should clear the air on the much talked about ticket for House of Representatives for Agege Federal Constituency under our great party, All Progressives Congress, yet the power of Social media in disseminating information cannot be underestimated.

My effort and struggle to get the ticket for my second term bid as a lawmaker representing our dear Agege Federal Constituency at the green chamber was a very tough one; ONLY THE SOLDIER WHO RETURNED FROM WAR FRONT, UNDERSTANDS THE WAR SCENE BETTER.

No gang up can succeed without God's knowledge and predetermination.

For those that know my political antecedent, you will recalled that my journey so far is an amazing one.

I aspired for Agege Local Government chairman, it didn't work out, yet my loyalty to my party and leaders  earned me the vice chairman to run along with my Boss(chief Enock Kolapomoye Ajiboso); that same loyalty later earned me the unprecedented opportunity to become the pioneer Executive chairman, Orile Agege Local council Development area for 2 terms, before I aspired for the House of Representatives for Agege Federal Constituency, unfortunately, i couldn't get the ticket due to party and leaders decision and I was compensated with third term ticket as Executive chairman of Orile Agege LCDA,(record breaking) due to my loyalty to the party and leadership; the administration that recorded unprecedented landmark Achievements visible to all in Orile Agege.

Fortunately, the House of Representatives ticket I was denied before was given me by my people through a conducted primary by our party which I won credibly with over 50 votes, which afford me the privilege contest that election and to represent the good people of Agege Federal Constituency with their support and prayers at the green chamber.

Now, here comes the part that lots of people don't want to read about...

At the moment the House of Representatives ticket for Agege Federal Constituency has been given to Hon. Babatunde Adejare.

After all the efforts; it's imperative to obey the party's decision through our National leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TINUBU.

Now, talking about Asiwaju: this a great leader that I have known as a political father and mentor since my political journey began decades ago and following him has been fruitful.

Just has God had used and still using me to raise lots of personalities politically and otherwise within Agege and beyond and who are now occuping various notable positions...the facts are there.

Interestingly, no one wants to write incomplete or partial political history, so this set up of personalities in Agege, whom are also contesting election, cannot write theirs without acknowledging how God use me for them, and the best they could do is ganged up to see me fall....I LAUGH!

Their plans bring to mind the story of JOSEPH IN THE BIBLE; how his brothers hated him and sold him into slavery not knowing that they are sending him to where God's purpose for his life would come to a reality and Joseph eventually become the helper of his brothers and family in time of famine/need... that's God!

Lots of people have expected me to defect to other party for ticket...but, my previous experience and reward for loyalty to my party will not allow me to leave my leaders and party... Moreso, this Same party and leadership have done a lot for me and my people in all ramifications and it will be ungrateful for me to defect to other party at this period.

It may interest you to know that I have been APPOINTED AS THE CHAIRMAN, BUHARI/OSINBAJO CAMPAIGN GROUP FOR AGEGE FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY... in ensuring that Agege people vote en mass for NEXT LEVEL through ALL APC CANDIDATES.

About NEXT LEVEL...I AM REALLY CONFIDENCE THAT GOD ALMIGHTY HAS A PLACE MORE GREATER FOR ME IN THE NEXT LEVEL PROGRAMS.

To my progressives people, I really appreciate your concern for me in the course of my struggle; MAY GOD REWARD YOUR SHOW OF LOVE ABUNDANTLY, AMEN....MAY YOU EXPERIENCE NEXT LEVEL THIS YEAR.

The strategies of our Great party, APC to win the election are ongoing and will be revealed to my followers in due course.

Currently, some Constituency projects are ongoing in Agege Federal Constituency and some about to commence...all for the growth and development of my Constituency.

Your VOTE FOR APC is highly anticipated.

PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE: ADARANIJO DEMANDS REGULAR CHECKS ON PILOTS, CREW MEMBERS

Agegepulse Magazine

The House of Representatives, yesterday, raised concerns on the dangers of pilots flying under the influence of alcohol and drugs and ordered the relevant aviation authorities to carry out comprehensive checks to avert any air mishap.

That was consequent upon a motion sponsored by Member, representing Agege federal constituency, Hon. Taofeek Adaranijo, calling on the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, (NCAA), to routinely subject members of crew and pilots to various tests before and after flights to determine their fitness before they can fly.

. In adopting the motion, the lawmakers urged airline owners to carry out due diligence to ensure only responsible pilots and crew members were allowed to fly aircraft and as matter of importance do it regularly to reflect when they were first employed by the airline management.

While leading debate on the motion, the lawmaker expressed worry over the rate at which aircraft crew members were addicted to drug use and abuse. He informed that in 2016 and 2017 medical certificates of five crew members suspended because they tested positive to marijuana during a drug test conducted on participants of cabin crew training basic course at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology in Zaria.

 “In May 2017, when NCAA conducted random test on 87 personnel from Air Peace, Med-View and Air Traffic controllers of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) as they were about to embark upon flight operations and air traffic control duties, a member of crew tested positive to a psychoactive substance- Tetra hydro can animal(THe) which is known to be the chemical responsible for most marijuana’s psychological effect”.

Adaranijo explained that psychoactive drugs worked by manipulating the synapses in between nerves in the central nervous system, thereby distorting thought processes and causing a variety of side effects such as anxiety, psychosis, moods swings, depression and sleep problems, all of which are not suitable to the job demands of pilots and member crews.

Hon Adaranijo's motion was overwhelmingly supported by  Hon. OGHENE EGOH EMMANUEL, Amuwo Odofin, Lagos; Hon. ABDULRAZAK SAAD NAMDAS Jada/ Ganye/Mayo Belwa/Toungo, Adamawa State ; Hon. PWAJOK EDWARD GYANG, Jos South/ East, Plateau State and  Hon. Diri Douye Kolokuna -- Opokuma/Yenagoa, who described it as apt and imperative towards the safety of airlines passengers and Nigerians.
