Otunba Olukoga, who also served as a Council Administrator some years back, spoke with THE IMPACT at the Ikorodu Divisional Police Barracks Playing Ground, Ikorodu, at the weekend.
While emphasizing that The Mandate Movement (TMM) is now one family, Otunba Olukoga, who is also a former Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Sports, also said that the political group must go into the next local government elections as a united front.
“The election of the chairmanship seat of the local government is coming up, we have to work together, otherwise, we will lose. We are starting from the chairmanship first, and TMM group will work harmoniously with Justice Forum, so that we can have a common council chairman who will serve the interest of all.
“This time around, it’s going to be really different. We need a chairman that will be vibrant, and must be very intelligent. He must have something to offer to the party and the people of Ikorodu.
“So, we are not looking for nonentity this time around. We are looking for people that will be hardworking, and also somebody that will achieve the goals set of by OUR party, and also fulfill his mandate to the people. These are what our party, APC, is expecting; a vibrant, intelligent, and hardworking chairman”, he said.
