Agege, Orile Agege Swear-In SLGs, Supervisors Amidst Drama

...Plus Substantial List of Appointees

The confirmation and swearing in of Supervisors and Secretary to Local Government of Orile Agege Local Council Development Area and Agege Local Government, may have come and gone, it indeed left, with some pockets of drama.

It took the creative and sublime wisdom of the councils chairmen - Hon. Johnson Sunday Babatunde and Hon. Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi to avert the grievance of some quarters that could have snowballed into a mess of the credible confirmation and swearing-in process.

In Agege, the Legislative Arm was on top of the game to ensure a credible plenary session. During screening of the names presented before the Councilors under the leadership of Hon. Kolawole Anigbajumo, only two names (Akingbade Oke and Ganiyu Adeyemo) on the list, scaled through the councilors drills.

Others, according to Hon. Anigbajumo and other councilors failed the screening exercise on the ground of infidelity, insincerity, misrepresentation of documents, as well as aiding and abetting anti party shenanigans before, during and after the last Lagos Council election.

In Orile Agege LCDA, AgegePulse correspondent, Bunmi who monitored the screening exercise inside the council's Legislative Chamber reported that it was another show of misplaced appointment as most of the names on the initial list presented to the house have no iota of idea or knowledge of the party nor the communities they were appointed to oversee.

However, AgegePulse gathered that in a bid to prevent any sort of vacuum in the appointment and further delay in the swearing-in process, the councils chairmen presented another set of credible individuals to the respective chambers.

As expected, the new names went through the screening process and were officially confirmed by the Honourable members. Subsequently, they were sworn-in by the Chairmen.

However, the new development was like a torn in the flesh of those who failed the screening hitherto. They and their supporters, made moves to disrupt peace of the swearing in process but were duly checkmated by the security details provided by the two Councils Chairmen.

In fact some of them - such as Hon. Akin Oke, whose portfolio on the initial list was Secretary to Agege LG was later appointed as Supervisor for Budget and Planning. The same substitution was done in Orile Agege.

When AgegePulse asked why they acted against party's directive on the initial list, Hon. Egunjobi and Hon. J.S Babatunde, said the reassignment of the portfolios was done in the best interest of the All Progressives Congress and demands of their respective councils.

Now that the die has been cast in these highly sensitive councils with these appointments, we await the next political acrimony that would arrest the airwaves in coming weeks from the aggrieved factions.

Below are the substantial names and portfolios of the newly confirmed and sworn-in SLGs and Supervisors of the Agege LGA and Orile Agege LCDA:

Abiodun Ogunji (Health)
