Ejigbo residents have officially backed chairmanship aspirant, Habeeb Anibaba to run as chairman of Ejigbo LCDA after declaring his intention on Thursday, May 1st.
Anibaba who was endorsed by The Mandate Movement (TMM) after winning the shadow primary conducted on Sunday, April 17 was also endorsed by the leaders, youths, artisans, and wards excos to run as chairman of Ejigbo LCDA in the forthcoming 2025 Lagos State Local Government elections.
The Apex leader of APC in Ejigbo LCDA, Honorable Kehinde Bamigbetan urged party faithfuls to support Anibaba because he has shown loyalty to the party in the past.
He’s optimistic Anibaba has the much needed experience and intellect to pilot the affairs of Ejigbo LCDA to giant strides.
Anibaba disclosed why he’s running as chairman of Ejigbo LCDA, because it’s at a turning point which has received foundational progress from Monsurudeen Oloyede Bello (Obe) and he’s prepared to further elevate the community to a place of empowerment development and dignity.
He promised to uphold the trust placed on him by the people, work tirelessly for the development and prosperity of the community where he will build a brighter future with, inclusivity, transparency and accountability in governance.
Adeniji Adenike, the vice president of Alaga Iduro association of Nigeria, Ejigbo LCDA branch pledged support alongside members of her association to the aspiration of TMM candidate, Anibaba.
“We are here to support Habeeb Anibaba and we hope and pray he gets elected into office and we would vote for him.”
Chief Adolphus Onyemere, Leader of ethnic nationality in Mandate Ejigbo LCDA Branch believes Anibaba possesses the requisite leadership skills to become the next chairman of Ejigbo LCDA.
“Definitely, we would support Habeeb Anibaba to become the chairman of Ejigbo LCDA. We have been doing it since 1999 with KOK, anybody that’s endorsed will be supported by all the ethnic nationality Igbo, Arewa and the South South. Anibaba has been a friend and he has contributed so immensely to this party. I knew when he contested for House of Representative, then we went round to campaign for him before he was asked to step down. This time around is his time and I know he’s capable to get the job done.”
The Yakub Ajibola, governor of the Professional carpenter and furniture makers association (Oshodi Isolo Constituency 2) said his association is ready to give their support to Anibaba due to his progressive antecedents.
“We are ready to give our all and support to Anibaba, if won’t vote for Anibaba, we won’t be here today. Because when Hon Kehinde Bamigbetan was the chairman of Ejigbo LCDA, he did so well for the artisans including market traders and when the incumbent chairman, Hon Monsurudeen Bello Obe was elected, he did so well for us too which includes roads and infrastructures. So Anibaba is the right choice for us this time because he’s a calm person who’s ready to listen to his people.”
Muhammed Jamiu, a major stakeholder of Nigeria Automobile Technicians Association (NATA) (Ejigbo LCDA Branch) is certain Anibaba will do wonders and replicate the efforts and performance of the incumbent chairman, Monsurudeen Oloyede Bello (Obe).
