New Year Message from the Caretaker Chairman of Irekari Local Government Development Area (LCDA) Idoani.
Dear esteemed residents of Irekari LCDA,
I bring you warm greetings and heartfelt wishes for a prosperous new year. As the Chairman of Irekari LCDA, I am delighted to serve as the first chairman after the creation of our LCDA by the former Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu. It is indeed an honor to be entrusted with this responsibility.
On behalf of the entire LCDA, I would like to express our deepest condolences to the wife and children of the late Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu. We mourn the loss of a great leader whose contributions to Ondo State will never be forgotten. His creation of an additional 33 LCDAs in the state will stand as a lasting legacy, benefiting the people for generations to come.
In this new year, let us also remember to pray for the new Governor of Ondo State, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa. As he takes the reins of leadership, let us ask for God’s guidance and protection for him and his family. May he lead the state to greater heights of peace and tranquility.
As the Chairman of Irekari LCDA, my focus will be on delivering a dividend of democracy to the four communities that constitute our local government development area. I have made a commitment under oath to the people, and I intend to fulfill it through my five-point agenda. Rest assured, no amount of intimidation or distraction will deter us from providing quality service and good governance to the people of Irekari LCDA.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the Oba of Idoani, Oba Major Gen (Rtd) Olufemi Olutoye Olutomiloye I, for his immense support and guidance. Your fatherly advice and guidance will always be cherished. I also thank other traditional rulers in the LCDA and assure them that the traditional institution and culture of our people will be held in the highest esteem during my chairmanship reign.
Peace and tranquility are essential for the growth and development of our LCDA. Let us work together to foster harmonious relationships in our various communities, as it is the only way to entrench the dividend of democracy and enhance development.
I want to assure you, the good people of Irekari LCDA, that I will serve with a clear mind and work diligently for the rapid development of our LCDA. In the first quarter of this year, 2024, we plan to commence the groundbreaking of a new and befitting secretariat for the headquarters of the LCDA at Idoani. I invite all sons and daughters of the LCDA to participate in this noble endeavor, as governments cannot do it alone.
Finally, I wish each and every one of you a happy new year filled with prosperity and development for our beloved Irekari LCDA. Together, let us make this year a remarkable one.
Thank you and God bless.
Hon. Steve Otaloro
Caretaker Chairman
Irekari LCDA, Idoani.
