2025: Senator Tokunbo Abiru’s New Year Message of Hope And Opportunities

As we usher in the year 2025, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to you and your families. It is with a deep sense of responsibility and hope that I reflect on the journey we have undertaken together and the opportunities that lie ahead for our senatorial district, our state, and our beloved nation, Nigeria.

The year behind us was one of resilience and determination, as we faced challenges together and triumphed. Your unwavering support and commitment to the progress of our senatorial district have been the driving force behind the strides we made, since I embarked on this assignment.

This new year brings with it renewed opportunities to consolidate on our lofty achievements, create more opportunities for our vibrant, and innovative youth to thrive, and create lasting development that touches every corner of Lagos East.

I am committed, more than ever, to representing your voices with integrity, championing policies that foster economic growth, security, and equitable development, and ensuring that every constituent has a stake in the progress we achieve.

National cohesion is our strength. Regardless of our differences, we must remember that our diversity is a blessing. By fostering understanding, cooperation, and a sense of shared patriotism, we can overcome any obstacle and build a Nigeria that is inclusive, just, and prosperous for all.

In the spirit of collaboration, let us also stand by the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, as it implements policies to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, improve infrastructure, and uplift our lives.

Thank you for your steadfast trust and support. I remain dedicated to serving you with uttermost dedication and working tirelessly to advance the interests of Lagos East and Nigeria as a whole.

Fact undisputed! It also known that Oduduwa had only one child, Okanbi. Fact Unchallenged! Furthermore, It is universally agreed that Okanbi had seven children, Fact Unc...
