He also commended Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke for his continuous contributions and support for Asiwaju, the party, and the people of Ikeja Federal Constituency.
Clarifying the intent behind the gesture, Hon. Kasunmu emphasized that the presentation of the SUVs should neither be misconstrued as a campaign gimmick nor a political declaration. Rather, he described it as a sincere act of fulfilling promises made to respected party leaders.
In a forward-looking announcement, the vibrant lawmaker also unveiled plans for a large-scale empowerment initiative tagged “ARK SUPER EMPOWERMENT,” which he disclosed will take place before the end of March 2026 and is expected to impact a wide number of party members.
In his vote of appreciation, Alhaji Dally-Adeokun expressed deep surprise and gratitude, noting that although the promise was made a while ago, he never thought it would materialize again.
He thanked Hon. Kasunmu for his thoughtfulness and prayed for his continued success and elevation.
Alhaji Adeokun went further to advise party members and constituents to desist from insulting leaders who have served the party faithfully with their time, energy and resources, urging them instead to honour such individuals as channels of blessing.
He commended the late Yeye Kemi Nelson for institutionalizing the culture of rewarding party loyalty and referenced past beneficiaries, including Comrade Dania. He further acknowledged Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke for previously gifting him and Alhaja Akerele befitting SUVs.
Similarly, Alhaja Stella Kokumo expressed heartfelt appreciation, describing the gift as a wonderful and unexpected gesture.
She emphasized that fulfilling a promise made in private, publicly, reflects strong character and integrity. She encouraged others to emulate such values and urged Hon. Kasunmu to continue fulfilling his commitments to party stakeholders.
She also commended Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke for his continuous support to the party and its members.
The Chairman of Ikeja LGA, Hon. Akeem Dauda, lauded the gesture, describing it as an affirmation of the growing culture of rewarding dedication within the party in Ikeja LGA.
