...Congratulates Osun masses @32 years anniversary of the creation of the State.

..........Donates two hundred thousand naira for church development. 

The caretaker chairman of Isokan Local Government, Ahlaji Abdulazeez Adeniran Mao has dedicated Isokan Local Government to God with a promise to always magnify God in everything.

Speaking at the special thanksgiving service today to thank God for what he has done in his life and to mark the 32nd anniversary of the creation of Osun State at St Banaba's Anglican church, Oju Oja Apomu, Alhaji Mao who read from the book of Act 16 vs 8-20, declared that he will rule with the fear of God in his heart and he will only be satisfied when he sees God gloried.

“I am here this morning to give glory Honor and adoration to God for what he has done for me.

“I dedicate this victory to God that as we are beginning, God will be with us and lead us through”

Hon. Mao thanked the church leaders, members, and all the Christian fellows under the aegis of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN Apomu branch for their prayers, contributions, and support so far. He also seized the opportunity to congratulate the Osun masses as we marked 32 years of the creation of the state. 

While reaffirming his readiness, he noted that The first and number one priority of a responsible government is the welfare of its citizens. Any government that fails to make the welfare of its citizens a priority does not belong to the contemporary civilization of democracy but to the brutal force of tyrants of the Dark Ages. Having realized this, it dawns on us to do the needful for the betterment of our community. I can assure you that the light has come.

Reacting to the church's request for the construction of a missionary house, the chairman donated the sum of two hundred thousand naira as a contribution to the development and promised to look into the other requests as time went on. 

The church appreciated the chairman for the donation of two hundred thousand for the development of the church, described it as a rare donation from the political office holders, and tasked him to work hard to fulfill his promises in line with the vision of Senator Ademola Adeleke.

The presiding Priest of the Church, Ven. Dr. M.O. Akinola JP advised the Thanksgiving service at the church.

M.O Akinola, who took his Bible reading from Proverb 29, said when the righteous are in power, people rejoice. The pastor recalled that in 2020 the Chairman assisted one of the church members who had an accident with a right off without charging anything. He then prayed for the success of his administration and that of Senator Ademola Adeleke.

Accompanied by Mr. chairman includes the secretary to the Local Government, Dare Pema Arabambi, the Leader of the House, Hon. Wasiu Abimbade, and other members of the house, PDP stalwart, Hon. Jare Aderibigbe, Mrs. Agbeke Olurabti, family and friends.
