He also urged the state and federal representatives to positively impact the lives of their constituents.
“They have been elected by their constituents to represent them and serve them with honesty, diligence, and excellence. They have been entrusted with a free political mandate that comes with great responsibility and accountability,” Ibrahim said.
“They must not take this mandate for granted or abuse it for selfish interests. They must use it to impact lives and make a positive difference in their constituencies and district.
“They must be guided by the principles and values of the APC, which are justice, equity, progress, and unity. They must be loyal to our leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who has sacrificed so much for the growth and development of Lagos State and Nigeria.”

The social club president emphasised the importance of transparency, accountability, and empathy, encouraging the legislators to engage in open dialogue with their communities, actively listen to their concerns, and work tirelessly to address them.
Furthermore, he stressed the significance of unity and collaboration, highlighting the need for the legislators to put aside personal interests and ideological differences in favour of fostering harmony and progress for the greater good of Lagos State and Nigeria.
“They must be exemplary in their conduct and character as public servants and role models. They must be grateful to God for giving them this opportunity and privilege to serve. I charge them to use their free political mandate wisely and effectively to impact lives positively and make a difference,” Ibrahim said.
The Epe Ogunmodede Club is known for its commitment to promoting indigenous values and fostering community growth.
