There has been an outpouring of support from constituents for the aspiration of Hon. Adeola Muyideen Jokomba, former Chairman, Ikorodu North Local Council Development Area (LCDA), to represent the Ikorodu Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
THE IMPACT gathered that the former council boss and a health and social professional, has indicated his interest to contest for the seat to leaders of his party, All Progressives Congress (APC) and other stakeholders in the constituency.
Following this, a Whatsapp platform, ‘Friends of JK = OK’ which was opened, has been a beehive of activities where there has been growing support for Jokomba’s aspiration with some calling for the turn of Ikorodu North LCDA to take a shot at the seat.
Mojeed Ganiyu, speaking on the platform, said that Jokomba’s time has come to represent the people in the constituency.
“A Golden fish has no hidden place. JK, Almighty Allah will see us true. I believe this is the time for the state Assembly for you.
“I’m overwhelmed by the response that I’m reading from people that were added on this platform. Once again, ‘Enu o se , ise na ti bere niyen. Olorun yoo si fun wa se”, he said.
Mayor Baba, also commenting, said:
“Hon Adeola Jokomba has proven that he can bring total representation to Ikorodu Constituency 1 judging by his political and humanitarian antecedents”, he said.
“It is time to support the ultimate man who has moved round Ikorodu constituency 1 and is ready to see to the needs of the people in the grassroots.

“The good people of Ikorodu Constituency 1, let’s support the man with the best mindset for the job, the man who has delivered at the council level and is willing to bring more dividends to the masses”, he charged.
Another participant, Asoro Matase, described the aspirant as a selfless and passionate leader.
“He is a selfless leader, working and serving with passion. An achiever per excellence. JK, your contributions to Ikorodu North LCDA and the Ikorodu Constituency speak a lot. You left a footprint that can never be erased”, he said.
Another resident of Ikorodu North LCDA, Oladunni Olaide Adejoke, also wished him well.
