Hon. Idowu Daramola Pledges People-Oriented Representation, Accountability In Federal House of Representatives For Mushin Constituency 01




House of Representatives candidate of the Accord Party in Lagos State, Hon. Idowu Daramola, has pledged to pursue people-oriented policies and programmes aimed at improving the welfare of residents and accelerating development across his constituency if elected in the 2027 general election.

Daramola, who recently emerged as the party's candidate through a consensus arrangement during the Accord Party's candidate selection exercise, said effective representation must go beyond legislative activities to include transparency, accountability and sustained engagement with constituents.

The candidate said lawmakers owe the electorate regular reports on their stewardship, stressing that citizens deserve to know how public resources are being utilised and the impact of government interventions on their lives.

According to him, one of the ways to strengthen accountability is through the publication of periodic legislative performance reports detailing bills sponsored and co-sponsored, motions moved on the floor of the House, committee assignments and achievements, oversight activities, as well as challenges encountered in the discharge of legislative duties.

Daramola also advocated the publication of constituency impact reports highlighting community projects facilitated, scholarships awarded, youth and women empowerment initiatives, healthcare outreach programmes, employment opportunities and infrastructure interventions attracted to the constituency.

He said such reports would enable constituents to assess the performance of their representatives and foster stronger trust between elected officials and the people.

The Accord Party candidate further recommended an annual "Accountability and Stewardship Report" to provide details of constituency projects, funds attracted, implementation status of ongoing projects and future development priorities.

According to him, transparency remains a critical ingredient for effective governance and democratic consolidation.

Daramola also underscored the importance of policy briefs and position papers on key national issues, including security, the economy, education, healthcare, constitutional amendments and electoral reforms.

He noted that regular publication of such documents would help constituents understand the policy direction and legislative positions of their representatives.

The politician further proposed periodic constituency newsletters to be distributed through digital platforms, local newspapers and community groups to keep residents informed about legislative activities, upcoming programmes and opportunities available to them.

He also advocated the production of annual achievement magazines showcasing major projects, legislative milestones and testimonials from beneficiaries of constituency interventions.

Daramola expressed appreciation to leaders and members of the Accord Party for the confidence reposed in him, assuring them that he would work tirelessly to justify their trust and contribute to the party's success in the 2027 elections.

He reiterated his commitment to responsive and inclusive representation, saying the welfare of constituents would remain the central focus of his legislative agenda if elected into the National Assembly.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

Lagos Lawyer, Ajulo, Labels AIG Moshood Jimoh 'Incompetent,' Demands Independent Review of Ajiran Killings Probe

A Lagos-based lawyer, Adedotun Ajulo Esq, has described the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Moshood Jimoh, as "incompetent and renewed his call for an independent review of the police investigation into the killings in Ajiran Community. Ajulo made the remarks in a statement issued in response to a publication titled "Ajiran killings: Groups, Stakeholders Exonerate AIG Jimoh Moshood from Corrupt Allegations, Refutes Defamatory Statement as Fallacy,"* in which several groups defended the senior police officer against allegations surrounding the handling of the murder investigation. According to the lawyer, public endorsements and declarations of support cannot replace transparency and accountability in restoring public confidence in the justice system. "Public confidence in the administration of justice cannot be restored through endorsements or public declarations. Confidence is earned through a process that is demonstrably impartial, transparent, and ca...

Court Cautions Police, Orders Proper Invitation of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Lagos State Magistrate Court has cautioned the Lagos State Police Command and directed that proper procedures be followed in the handling of the case involving Mr. Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran, in what is seen as a setback for individuals including Bashir Fakorede, Jide Akinloye, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood. Presiding over proceedings in the Ogba Magisterial District, Magistrate A. J. Odueke, in Charge No: MISC/126/2026, held that the police must formally invite Akanbi rather than declare him wanted. The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
