Tuesday, April 14, 2026. The political landscape of the Ikorodu Division has been thrown into turmoil following the release of a scathing open letter accusing its political elders and representatives of deliberate sabotage. In a fiercely worded document released today, prominent community figure Princess (Mrs.) Aderoju Ladega-Akinjobi, widely known as Kìnìún Ikòròdú (The Lioness of Ikorodu), alleged that the division’s historic opportunity to produce the next Governor of Lagos State is being actively dismantled from the inside.
