“No doubt, your policies and programs have supported the overall development of Irepo Local Government, as well as the well-being of the people.”
The House leader, who is widely known as Chief Cubana, king of boys, and Afunni monwobe in the community, however, thanked Governor Seyi Makinde and his deputy, Barr. Abdul-Raheem Adebayo Lawal, for their unwavering support of Hon. TT since he took office, emphasising that his administration placed a great premium on the well being of the people.
SASAY assured that the legislative arm will never disappoint the Deputy Governor nor betrayed the trust placed in them in the discharge of their duties but will continue to cooperate with the executive arm of government for the development of Kishi community.
This strong and cooperative relationship between the legislative and executive arms highlighted how important it is to provide the community with real progress.
