Dayo Israel Lagos Mainland Election
Donation protected
My name is Dayo Israel and I am running to represent Lagos Mainland Local Government in the Parliament.
I believe strongly that young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace. If, however, they are left on society's margins, all of us will be impoverished. Let us ensure that all young people have every opportunity to participate fully in the lives of their societies.
After over 17 years of contribution to the growth of my country and community from my days in the Children's Parliament and as Special Representative to the United Nations, I am offering myself to the service of my people in Lagos Mainland and will need your support to complement our campaign finance.
A large % of youth who have the potential and passion to contribute to the lives of their societies through public office are relegated to toothless political appointees because most time they do not have the finance of the money bags or political fathers to fund their election.
I believe strongly that with your support we will not only win this election but give our people a fresh start. Your support will help us cover:
- Volunteer Management Cost
- Campaign Publicity
- Grassroot Mobilisation
- Community Development Programs
I believe that my victory in this election will inspire thousands if not millions of young people that they too in their local community can dream, aspire and achieve for the interest of their people.
Lagos Mainland gave me an opportunity for a good start, I spent my early years growing up on Kano Street, Jebba Street, Apapa road and Iponri. The Primary School I attended were Gloryville and Prime Day Spring Nursery and Primary School, then in Onike and now in Odunfa.
I started my preaching ministry on the coaster buses from Oyingbo to Costain/Obalende, and my first crusade was at our famous Evans Square in Old Yaba road, from which our now global ministry was birthed. I conceived my first NGO initiative at my Osholake resident, from which I travelled to the UN WSSD in 2002 and UNGASS in the same year; I have since then gone on to attend many other fora.
Gradually I saw our community deteriorate, many of my age mates getting pregnant before graduation, many dropping out of school due to extreme poverty. I had expected that things will improve but regular interaction with our community members have shown that these challenges remain.
I am burdened that if we do not act and do more, the next generation will miss out on the opportunities that our community gave me when I was growing up. For a young man with a lot of dreams and impact, Lagos Mainland is not where it should be. Although we are blessed with a lagoon, our Makoko community which has one of the best fish markets in Lagos is sadly synonymous with poverty. .
My mission is to restore opportunity, and in doing so protect and advance Mainland’s competitiveness
I’ve got the experience, values and vision to put Mainland back on the right track.
