The Chairman vowed that he will not rest until he achieves the Eti-Osa East LCDA of his dream, adding, "with the people's support and cooperation, it shall be possible."
The Chairman enthused that "As it is to be expected within the turbulence and competition of our political environment, there have been some unfounded allegations levelled against my person by some elements who intend to soil my name.
"I want to use this opportunity to call on the public that there is no iota of truth in those allegations and such would not deter me as the Chairman of Eti-Osa East LCDA from continuing my duty of providing a better welfare for the people of Eti-Osa East Local Council Development Area."
