In a symbolic and heartfelt show of gratitude, the re-elected Executive Chairman of Eredo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Ismail Monsuru Akinloye, has presented his Certificate of Return to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Apex Leader in Epe Division, Alhaji Akanni Seriki Bamu.
EpeInsights learnt that this happened shortly after receiving it from the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC).
The visit, which took place shortly after the official certificate presentation by LASIEC on Wednesday, July 16, was a moment of deep appreciation and reaffirmation of political solidarity.
Hon. Akinloye described Alhaji Seriki Bamu as a political father whose unwavering support and mentorship played a pivotal role in his successful re-election bid.
“This certificate is not just mine, it belongs to the leadership that has guided and supported us,” Akinloye said during the visit.
“I came here to say thank you to our father and political leader, Baba Bamu, for his invaluable support and wisdom that continue to shape the direction of leadership in Eredo and the greater Epe Division.”
The gesture was more than ceremonial; it served as a reaffirmation of unity, loyalty and collective vision for grassroots development in the region. Witnesses at the meeting noted the warm atmosphere and mutual respect that underscored the interaction.
Alhaji Seriki Bamu, a revered elder statesman in Lagos politics and a prominent figure in the Epe Division, commended Hon. Akinloye for his humility and steadfastness.
He charged the re-elected chairman to remain focused on delivering impactful governance and upholding the values of service and accountability.
“This gesture is a mark of good character and leadership,” Alhaji Bamu remarked. “Our people have spoken at the polls, and now it is time to deepen the dividends of democracy.”
The event has since resonated across political circles in the division as a symbol of political continuity, intergenerational mentorship, and commitment to progressive governance.
As Hon. Akinloye begins a new chapter in his administration, expectations are high for sustained development projects, empowerment programs and inclusive leadership across Eredo LCDA.
