The SA on Ibadan Northwest and South West Federal Constituency commended the Executive Chairman of the local government for securing lives and property in the local government such that people can now go about with their businesses with fear during the day and at night.
Speaking, the Executive Chairman of Ibadan North West, Hon. Rahman Adepoju said the party leadership in the local government has tried as much as possible to reward loyal party members during the selection of supervisory councillors and special assistants at the local government level even though the reward cannot go round all at once. He charged all party members to keep faith with the party as it will continue to reward loyal and committed party members.
Hon. Adepoju enthused that all appointees and elected members of the party will present their score cards at the right and everyone will be rewarded accordingly.
