The lawmaker representing Amuwo Odofin Constituency II at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Akeem Bello donated two buses to St. Joseph Catholic Church Kirikiri town.
Speaking during the handover exercise on the 6th November 2016,The Minority Leader said the gesture was in fulfillment of his campaign promise to the church when he solicited its support during the 2015 general election. Expressing the hope that the bus would assist the church in solving its transportation difficulties; the lawmaker urged them to make judicious use of the facility.
Stating that churches played significant roles in his election as a lawmaker, he pleaded for their continued support through prayers. He promised that he would not relent in advancing the cause of the town.
Ven. Levi Opara who heads St. Paul's Anglican Church, thanked the lawmaker for his generosity of spirit, stressing that the bus donated to the church would go a long way in helping the church in propagating the Gospel of God.
He promised to put the bus to good use. He urged other politicians in the state to emulate the gesture of Hon. Akeem who was not compelled to pledge and redeem the promise he made before God and man.
Most of the parishioners who spoke at the handing over exercise said it was the first time a public office holder would make a promise and freely fulfilled the promise. They expressed optimism that the lawmaker’s tenure would be a clear departure from what obtained during the tenures of former representatives of the constituency.
