 Yesterday was historic as the good people of Alanamu ward passed a vote of confidence on Alh. Hon. Muyideen Ikolaba as their authentic ward chairman who was produced through ward congress. The chairman of the elders, Alh. Alabi Onimago and the 27 members along with all the ward excos converged yesterday to reaffirm Alh. Muyideen Ikolaba. This development is a result of a paperweight news that surfaced on social media on Wednesday evening that one Abubakar Babatunde has been inaugurated as the ward chairman.
