The attention of Society
Herald Magazine has been drawn to
the current political crisis going on in Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government of Lagos
as the general election draws nearer. Authoritative source told this paper that
lots of aspirants had come out to show their interests for the House of
Representatives slots or the state House of
Assembly. We have continued to see posters here and there, but the story
that concerns the people of Ifako-Ijaiye is the allegation by one of the aspirants
to the House of Representatives, Dr. Elijah Adewale. We gathered that this
former Special Assistant to the Governor of Lagos State on Education claims that,
he has never benefitted anything from Ifako-Ijaiye particularly.
During the Hon. Doherty administration, a lot of the
stakeholders in the area know about the various benefits this said politician
benefitted from the constituency. While investigating this allegation, we
discovered that the claim is untrue, knowing fully well that Dr. Elijah Olu
Adewale popularly called Jah served under the administration of Governor
Fashola between 2007 and 2011 as Special Adviser on Education. Investigation revealed that Dr. Jah was given
a contract by the administration of Hon. Demola Doherty; his company, (Serviette
Nigeria Ltd) was mandated to construct Araromi Street near his house at a whooping
sum of N24.7 million, the contract was fully paid for. As a leader in the LG,
he received cows, rams, bags of rice during festivities, Dr. Jah group members;
about six of them were senior special assistants during Hon. Demola Doherty
Administration. We also took further step to investigate another beneficiary of
the Demola Doherty Administration who also claimed that he did not benefit
anything from the Local Government. The man is Kayode Aremo, a politician in
Ifako – Ijaiye Local Govt. investigation revealed that his house at Harmony
Estate near Bible Pattern was constructed with a total cost of N7 million with
the assistance of Hon. Demola Doherty.
This illegal collection and corruption perpetrated by Kayode
Aremo affected the relationship between Demola Doherty and the state chairman
of the party, Otunba Ajomale who introduced the lady contractor to the local
government. We also gathered from reliable source that Kayode Aremo’s daughter
was sponsored to Ghana in children excursion organized by the council, while he
also collected N500,000 from the former council chairman, Doherty to bury his
in-law in Ekiti State.
The school exercise books contract was not fully supplied to
the council based on instruction of Kayode Aremo who was then the supervisor
for Education/ Vice Chairman of the council. We gathered that he got two Toyota
Corolla cars, welfare package including Mecca slots; all from Hon. Demola
Doherty. Investigation also revealed that one Mrs. Adu (Yeye Oge) Anasanwo,
Mrs. Ganzalo and many others enjoyed various monetary benefits.
The question is ‘why did the people of Ifako Ijaiye hate
these two people, why did Aremo lose out in Ifako – Ijaiye? The answer is yet
to be known, lots of the constituents are asking for answers to those questions.
Where did Aremo belong to?, He was given appointment in Onigbongbo LG as the
special adviser on Revenue. He is also Personal Assistant to an Accord Party
Senator in Oyo State, Senator Lanlehin. He is also an aspirant in
Ifako-Ijaiye?
