Youths in Igando/Ikotun LCDA have accused the leadership of their local council of failing to deliver development projects that match the council’s federal allocation, despite the area reportedly receiving N2.733 billion monthly. In an official statement released Saturday, the group, under the name Igando/Ikotun Concern Youths, said they were “compelled to express our deep disappointment and frustration with the current state of governance in Igando/Ikotun LCDA.” The group noted that Alimosho LGA gets N2.733 billion monthly from the Federation Account, and argued that with six LCDAs under it, each—including Igando/Ikotun—should be entitled to about N455 million monthly. This, they said, is aside from internally generated revenue within Igando/Ikotun. “Regrettably, our community continues to suffer from deplorable roads, inadequate electricity, substandard education, and a lack of essential services,” the statement read. The youths contrasted their situation with other counc...

By Olusegun Apena  In the unfolding contest for the All Progressives Congress ticket in Kosofe Federal Constituency, a familiar name is re-entering the field with a different kind of momentum.   Mrs. Oluremi Oluwalogbon Odunsi, nation-building entrepreneur and venture builder, has declared her aspiration for the House of Representatives, Kosofe Federal Constituency, ahead of the 2027 general elections.   She comes into the race as an underdog. Party watchers say she may yet be the dark horse to steal the show.   Odunsi will square up against incumbent Hon. Kafilat Ogbara and former Agboyi-Ketu LCDA chairman Mayor Dele Osinowo in the APC primary. Both are formidable: Ogbara holds the seat and federal committee leverage; Osinowo commands a ward-level machine built over eight years in office.   Yet Odunsi’s aspiration is gradually gaining grassroots support across Kosofe, Ikosi-Isheri, and Agboyi-Ketu. In politics, never say never. H...
