The programme which was witnessed by political leaders at the LGA and the Wards level, saw the Clerk of the House in his welcome address pleaded for the support and loyalty of the Honourables without any prejudice.

The Executive Chairman, Comrade. Olusesan Daini expressed his satisfaction for the struggles and the victory. He admonished the Councillors to brace up and be ready to render selfless service to the people who voted them in. Hence, the Proclamation to declare the first Legislative seating of Igbogbo/Baiyeku LCDA was made.

Ashafa Olalekan,  Ward C1
Olowu Wasiu,  Ward C2
