Hon. Wasiu Adekunle Agoro, Executive Chairman, Imota Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Ikorodu Division, Lagos State, Southwest, Nigeria, has stated that residents in his council won all the polling booths in the council during the Presidential and National Assembly elections, to show their appreciation for Rep. Babajimi Benson who was re – elected for the third term on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The APC Presidential and Senatorial candidates, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Sen. Tokunbo Abiru, respectively, also won their elections in Imota.
Hon. Agoro said that the two – term federal lawmaker has done well and that he doesn’t need to campaign again for residents of Imota to vote for him because he has been able to touch and impact communities.
The Council Chairman said this while presenting an award of excellence on behalf of all the Community Development Associations (CDAs) in Imota LCDA during the March 2023 edition of the monthly ‘Apo – Anu’ (Food distribution) exercise on Saturday.
“I, the chairman of Imota LCDA, has been asked to come and do the presentation of an award to our boss, Babajimi Benson”, he said.
“In Imota, the good things that Jimi Benson have² done for us, we can’t count them at all. The things are much to the extent that I told him not to bother himself to campaign in Imota, and that what he has been able to do has campaigned for him.
“I also told him that it is those things that will bring out votes for him and since the campaign started, he has not stepped his foot in Imota”, Hon. Agoro added.
He said that the good works that the lawmaker has done in Imota motivated residents to vote for him in appreciation of his gestures.
“During the election in Imota, we didn’t lose any polling booth, and that is because we know he has done well for us and we appreciate him”, he said.
“I am happy to do this presentation today because there is no CDA in Imota that Jimi Benson left untouched and we have 120 CDAs. All of them can point out what he has done for them.
“Babajimi Benson, all the Imota community came together and did this award for you, for all you have done there, and we are thanking you and also telling you to continue the good job because you are part of the people who made the Imota rice mill possible”, he said.
“On behalf of everyone in Imota, we are using this award to say thank you for the good job you have done, and you should keep doing the good job, congratulations, Sir.
The Chairman also added to numerous names that Rep. Benson has been christened due to his quality representation.
“Although, Babajimi Benson has already had different names, the people of Imota are giving him another name now, which is Mr. Community”, he said.
