“We don’t take this for granted,” Akintade said. “I appreciate him for being a beacon of service and for his people-focused leadership. This is the kind of representation that uplifts communities and strengthens the bond between leaders and the people.”
Also speaking, the Councillor of Ward 14 Hon. Victor Olusola commended Hon. Tella for bringing the dividends of democracy closer to the grassroots. According to him, the borehole project is not just an infrastructure but a life-changing intervention for many households.
“This project has shown that Hon. Tella is committed to ensuring that residents feel the impact of government. He has once again proven that representation is about giving back and meeting the people’s needs.”
