A Lagos lawmaker, Adewale Adedeji, yesterday secured the endorsement of monarchs, chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and residents of Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency I for another term.
They made their decision known at the fifth edition of the lawmaker’s widows’ empowerment initiative, which was benefitted by 500 people.
The programme was held at Adedeji’s constituency office in Lagos.
Noting that it was the first time they would experience real representation at the state legislature, the constituents said the lawmaker had made life easier for them.
Deacon Banjo Omole, chairman of APC in Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government, thanked his party for not making a mistake in its decision to field Adedeji in previous elections.

Supporting Adedeji’s endorsement, the Leader of Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Council, Adebo Kayode said: “We are happy today because we have not regretted having Adedeji as our lawmaker. We are happy we didn’t make a mistake.’’
Oba-elect Matthew Ogundimu of Ogundimu Kingdom in Lagos thanked the lawmaker for his impact on the lives of the people.
Thanking his constituents for their support, Adedeji says his vision is to ensure Ifako-Ijaiye becomes developed.
He promised free registration of health insurance for residents who did not have it or whose registration had expired.
He said his free adult literacy classes, which would begin soon, already had over 100 applicants.
Beneficiaries of the programme lauded the lawmaker for putting smiles on their faces. They promised to always support him.
