The Ogun State House of Assembly’s Majority Leader, Sherif Yusuf, also known as Ibeman, has been elected as the Chairman of the Forum of Majority Leaders in the South-West region. This development was announced during the 3rd Quarterly Meeting of the South-West Legislative Reform Implementation Committee (SLRIC) held in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The meeting was declared open by the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Oludaisi Elemide, who was joined by the Deputy Speaker, Bolanle Ajayi, and other members of the Ogun House of Assembly. The Speaker commended the Forum for its dedication to legislative development and regional integration.

The Forum of Majority Leaders comprises Majority Leaders from the State Houses of Assembly of Lagos, Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, and Oyo states.

In his acceptance speech, Ibeman emphasized the need for greater synergy among South-West legislatures to drive impactful reforms. He assured that the Forum, under his leadership, will continue to work on policies that support people-oriented governance, improve regional cooperation, and strengthen legislative institutions across the South-West.

Ibeman expressed appreciation for the confidence reposed in him and pledged to consolidate on the achievements of his predecessor, Emmanuel Ogunmolasuyi, the Majority Leader of the Ondo State House of Assembly. With his election as Chairman, Ibeman is expected to provide leadership and direction to the Forum, ensuring that it continues to play a vital role in promoting legislative development and regional integration in the South-West.

The election of Ibeman as Chairman of the Forum of Majority Leaders is significant, as it underscores the importance of collaborative efforts among legislatures in the South-West region. As the Forum continues to work towards its objectives, it is expected to have a positive impact on the region, promoting good governance, sustainable development, and people-oriented policies. With Ibeman at the helm, the Forum is poised to make meaningful contributions to the region’s legislative landscape.
