It’s been a most fulfilling day, both politically and socially. We joined His Royal Highness, the Ololorunda of Olorunda-Aba, Oba wa, Samuel Oludele Abiodun Folarin, JP in a well appointed town hall meeting with Traditional Rulers, Market leaders, Women Farmers, and members of Olorunda Development Association (ODA).
It was all part of our engagement with critical stakeholders and organizers in the local communities.
At the core of our engagement, we offered thoughts about how we can reframe our debate on the delivery of governance in reaffirming our commitment to democratic values through a close and constant engagement with communities, in our own local clime. This is all that the April 12th Town Hall meeting was about. It was an affirmation of our shared, unyielding belief that Yes Together We Can!
Our most sincerest appreciation to the Ololorunda of Olorunda-Aba, Oba wa, Samuel Oludele Folarin, JP, the entire traditional rulers within and around Lagelu West, the Agba-Akin of Olorunda, Oloye Benedict Akika, members of Olorunda Development Association (ODA), the Women Farmers Association, and market leaders— for playing host to us, and for gathering together an equally impressive group of thinkers and community organizers for discourse on important factors that can help bring confidence in our government and in our local democracy, and that’s the widespread sense of community engagement, by which, we believed, the people can be an important part of their own government.
It’s truly remarkable to reflect on the historic significance of the town hall, today- and the sense of hope it instilled. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
Hon. Mudashiru Kamorudeen,
PDP Chairmanship flag bearer, Lagelu LG.
