When Leadership Meets Compassion: Epe Frontiers Spread Kindness Across Eredo LCDA

By Ojo Mary

It was a bright Friday morning in Eredo LCDA on 15th August 2025, and the community square buzzed with quiet anticipation. Among the crowd was Mama Taye, a widow and small trader who had been struggling to keep her business afloat. For her, this day would not just be another gathering—it would become a turning point.

Mama Taye, along with 49 other beneficiaries, received a ₦10,000 support token from the Epe Frontiers in Eredo, led by Hon. Sabiu Adelaja under the distinguished leadership of Alhaji Akanni Seriki Bamu, The Apase of Epe Land. For some, it meant food on the table. For others, a chance to restart a small trade. For all, it was a reminder that they were not forgotten.

Words that Inspired Hope

While addressing the gathering, Hon. Sabiu Adelaja commended Alhaji Akanni Seriki Bamu for his consistent kindness and selfless leadership. He assured residents that this was only the beginning, with more developmental and life-changing programs set to roll out soon under the Epe Frontiers, Eredo LCDA Caucus.

The General Coordinator of Epe Frontiers in Epe Federal Constituency, Hon. Shakiru Adebanjo Johnbull, described the initiative as “a true reflection of generosity and selflessness.” He emphasized that the program was not just about money, but about restoring hope and strengthening the bond between leaders and the grassroots.

Representing the Executive Chairman of Eredo LCDA, Hon. Ismail Monsuru Akinloye, the Vice Chairman, Hon. Lateef Adesanya, conveyed heartfelt appreciation to the Epe Frontiers. He particularly praised Alhaji Akanni Seriki Bamu for his unwavering benevolence, assuring that the LCDA will continue to support such initiatives that bring tangible progress to the people.

More Than Just Giving

As the beneficiaries left with smiles and renewed hope, one thing became clear: this outreach was not merely about financial aid. It was about compassionate leadership—the kind that touches lives directly and leaves lasting impact.

The Epe Frontiers, through this initiative, have shown that when leadership meets compassion, communities thrive, and lives are transformed. Their gesture has sown seeds of hope that will continue to grow long after the day’s event.

✨ As the Yoruba saying goes, “Eni ti o ba se rere fun ara ilu, ilu naa ni yóo gbe e ga” — “He who does good for the community will be lifted by the community.”

Political Shake-Up: Drama and Upsets at APC Lagos Council Primaries

Image
  By Sultan Oluwaseunayofunmi The recently concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) council election primaries in Lagos State delivered a mix of suspense, drama, and political upheaval. Held across the 57 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), the primaries saw no fewer than six incumbent council chairmen fail to secure a second term ticket—marking a significant shift in local party dynamics. In what many have described as a surprising outcome, four of the incumbents were unseated by a mix of former lawmakers and fresh faces within the party, some of whom were contesting for the first time. The results, collated at the party's state secretariat in ACME, Ikeja, showed these chairmen trailing behind their challengers—some finishing as low as third place. The biggest upsets occurred in: Ojo LGA, where Muibat Rufai ousted the sitting chairman Idowu Rasulu Onigbongbo LCDA, where Rakiat Hassan was defeated by Moyo Adebanjo Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA, where Ladi...
