A member of the Ruling House in the Magbon Alade community area of Ibeju Lekki Local Government, Chief Alade Ogunlana, has stated that he will collaborate closely with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to expedite socio-economic development in the area.
He gave this assurance while speaking with journalists after the adjournment of the Obaship case of Magbon Alade by Justice Owolabi Dabiri, Retired, at the Tribunal of Inquiry into Chieftaincy Matters in Lagos State.
Chief Alade Ogunlana expressed optimism that his confirmation as the first-class traditional ruler of the area will lead to an improved well-being of residents and the safety of lives and property.
According to him, his emergence as the leading contender for the Obaship stool was overwhelmingly endorsed by the people of the Magbon Alade community due to his antecedents.
The Magbon Alade community, which has existed for time immemorial, has a population close to one million, with prominent towns including Magbon Oga, Oketun, Ipatun, and Museyo.
The community also hosts several government infrastructure and institutions, including the Water Corporation, Post Office, and Banks.
Further hearings in the case have been adjourned until Thursday, March 14th, this year.
