A former councillor and one-time Leader of the Legislative Arm in Olorunda Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. (Mrs.) Viutu Alice Shoyemi, has formally declared her interest to return to active public service.
In a letter addressed to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward E, Morogbo–Araromi, Shoyemi expressed her desire to be considered for appointment as Ward E Supervisor under the current administration of Hon. Ajose Peter Kumayon, Executive Chairman of Olorunda LCDA.
Shoyemi, who represented the ward between 2008 and 2011, said her decision to seek the position stems from a renewed passion to contribute once again to the growth and development of her community.
“With my experience, proven dedication, and deep understanding of grassroots governance, I am ready and willing to serve diligently, faithfully, and with renewed wisdom if given this opportunity,” she stated in the letter made available to Badagry Today.
Reflecting on her past achievements in office, Shoyemi listed several community-driven projects and initiatives she spearheaded during her tenure. Among them were the facilitation of three transformers, two for Ibiye and one for Araromi Origan communities, and a mini culvert bridge linking Ibiye Zone to Ilogbo Community.
She also highlighted her efforts in lobbying for the establishment of a health centre within the ward, supporting women-focused poverty alleviation programmes, and ensuring regular grading of access roads to enhance connectivity.
Beyond her tenure in office, Shoyemi noted that she has remained active in community development through consistent support for residents, especially during festive seasons, by distributing food items such as rice, goats, and rams to party members and families across the ward.
Her passion for youth empowerment, she added, continues through the sponsorship of annual football tournaments aimed at promoting unity, discipline, and talent discovery among young people.
“With this renewed passion and commitment, I seek your support once again to serve as Ward E Supervisor, so together we can continue building on the legacy of progress, empowerment, and service to humanity,” Shoyemi wrote.
Party sources say the letter has been well received by some ward leaders, who described the former councillor as a “grassroots mobilizer with a track record of results.”
Her appeal to rejoin the council administration under Hon. Kumayon is expected to spark renewed interest in the political dynamics within Olorunda LCDA as the administration continues to consolidate on its agenda for inclusive governance.
