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.

Now, with the prospect of an Ikorodu governorship transitioning from "fantasy" to a "tangible prospect," the division is reportedly facing its greatest threat—not from pol...
