| Hon. Afeez Alaran |
A focused and
goal oriented young man who knows exactly what he wants, Afeez Olatunde Alaran
is a Chairmanship aspirant in Agbado OkeOdo LCDA, Alimosho on the platform of the
All Progressives Congress (APC).
A Banker turned
politician, he believes he has what he takes to be the number one man at the
Council Secretariat, a job that is also being eyed by not less than twenty other
people.
An unassuming
young man, we visited him and engaged him on his plans for the people of Agbado
OkeOdo LCDA and why he decided to go into politics despite enjoying a
flourishing career in the Banking industry. ‘Afeezman’ as he is popularly known
and addressed by people is not a new entrant into Agbado OkeOdo politics. He
has been a youth leader in his Ward for more than ten years, a position he utilized
perfectly to register himself and his aspiration in the minds of the people and
also to show them the stuff he is made of.
Having contested
to be a Councilor on two occasions and stepping down the second time, he
believes this is the time to forge ahead and aspire for the highest position at
the Council to enable him actualize his dreams of taking his people to the
promise land.
A grassroots
politician, Afeez Olatunde Alaran has been on ground in Agbado OkeOdo since the
creation of the LCDA and he boasts of his knowledge of the needs of the people.
Showing us a written down plan he hopes to implement when he gets to office as
the chairman, the graduate of Accounting from the Lagos State University and a
happily married father who loves Reading, writing, listening to Music, Traveling, playing Football and meeting people said, he hopes to make
Education, Health and Infrastructure his priority. These of course will be in
addition to taking care of the welfare of his people, especially the elderly.
From his
antecedents in the politics of Agbado OkeOdo and his mobilization ability, he
believes Agbado okeOdo will fare very well under his leadership.
When asked to
rate Governor Akinwumi Ambode’s performance in Alimosho since he became
governor, Afeez Olatunde Alaran who is
older than the present Executive Secretaryy of Alimoosho Local Government,
responded by saying the slogan “Itesiwaju Eko …Lo je wa logun”. He added that
Alimosho couldn’t have been luckier with another man as the Chief Executive of
the State. Having worked with Ambode during campaigns and knowing the substance
he is made of, he assures Alimosho hasn’t seen anything yet. He noted the many
constructions going on at the same time in Alimosho and believes before the end
of Ambode’s first four-year tenure, Alimosho will be looking like Victoria
Island.
