2023: I’ll fight for recognition of LCDAs if elected House of Reps member-Oladejo

A House of Representatives aspirant in Mushin Federal Constituency 2 of Lagos State, Mr Seye Oladejo, has promised to collaborate with other lawmakers in the lower chamber to ensure the 37 Local Council Development Areas ( LCDAs) are fully recognised by the Federal Government if elected.

Oladejo, who is the publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos said the state deserves a better deal in the Nigerian federation.

He said that the LCDAs are overdue to be enlisted as local governments, adding that it was a surprise that states that were not bringing much to the common wealth had more local governments than Lagos.

Oladejo said this on Saturday while speaking with journalists at the official declaration for House of Representatives seat.

He said that he would lobby his colleagues to understand that Lagos needs a special treatment because of its contributions to the socio-economic development of the country.

Oladejo, who had served as Chairman of Mushin Local government and Commissioner for Special Duties in the state, said he declared for the House of Representatives seat because he believes strongly that he would be useful to his constituents in the lower chamber.

The APC scribe promised to provide qualitative, discerning, visible and result-oriented representation for his constituency if elected.

He, however, called on leaders, members and stakeholders of the APC within and outside Mushin to support his aspiration to be the party’s flagbearer in the February 25 House of Representatives elections.
