R.E.A.L.

Initiatives and the Concerned Ikorodu Division Youth (CIDY

) to host the

2nd Ikorodu Division Legislative Debate

Sunday, Jan 21st.

Electorates in Ikorodu had the opportunity to listen to the candidates from

AA, AAC, APC, ADC and NNPP

 vying for the two seats in the Lagos State House of Assembly and the sole Ikorodu Federal Constituency seat in the National Assembly, as they presented their agenda.  

While eight Assembly candidates out of 22 for both Ikorodu Constituency I and Il attended the debate, only one candidate for the House of Representatives turned up out of the eight cleared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
