Members of Ogun Waterside Local Government Legislative Council have been inaugurated following an order of proclamation for the inauguration of the House by the Chairman of the Local Government , Hon. Adekunle Abdulateef Mudashiru .
In his goodwill message during the inauguration of the Legislative Council in Abigi, headquarters of Ogun Waterside Local Government on Monday, Mudashiru called for a collaborative effort and synergy between the executive arm and the Legislature.

“Over the years, Ogun Waterside Local Government Legislative Council has been known for its maturity and I call on you all to contribute your quota by creating a working synergy between the executive and the Legislature, bearing in mind that no meaningful progress and development can take place in an atmosphere of rancour and acrimony, hence the need for cooperation and understanding between the two arms of the Council,” he said.

To the peace-loving people of Ogun Waterside, I can’t appreciate you enough for the confidence, trust and support you gave me and the Councillors of our ten political Wards before, during and after the elections that brought us to steer the ship of this Local Government,” he added.
In his remarks after the inauguration , the Leader of Ogun Waterside Local Government Legislative Council, Hon. Felix Ajayi, pledged total commitment towards the development of the Local Government, adding that he and his colleagues in the Legislature will uphold the tenets of democracy and spearhead a harmonious relationship with the executive arm.
