IFEDORE CENTRAL LCDA CHAIRMAN PRINCE RICHARD ADETANMI BREATHES LIFE INTO ILARA MOKIN’S PARCHED HOPE WITH BOREHOLE REPAIR
In a commendable act of selflessness and community devotion, Prince Richard Adetanmi, Chairman of Ifedore Centre LCDA, has once again proven himself a fountain of compassion by repairing a long-damaged borehole in Ilara Mokin, directly in front of the town’s Post Office. The borehole, which had stood silent like a forgotten well of hope, has now been revived — quenching the thirst of a community that had grown weary of water scarcity.
For weeks, residents trudged distances in search of clean water, their buckets heavy not with water, but with frustration and fatigue. Prince Adetanmi, a man whose heart beats in rhythm with the pulse of his people, could not turn a blind eye. He took the broken infrastructure as a personal burden, and in his characteristic fashion, shouldered the cost of the repair without waiting for applause or assistance.
Ilara Mokin is no stranger to hardship, but it is also no stranger to heroes. Prince Adetanmi stands tall among those who translate empathy into action. Like a tree that bears fruit in dry season, his intervention brought immediate relief to residents, reaffirming the importance of responsive and people-driven leadership.
“The borehole had been out of use for a long time, and no one seemed to be doing anything about it,” said Olayemi Adetoye, a resident of Ward 1. “But Prince Adetanmi stepped in like rain in the desert.
He didn’t wait for government bureaucracy — he acted, and we are all grateful.” The statement from Adetoye echoed the silent prayers of many in the community who now have water flowing once again.
This is not the first time Prince Adetanmi has extended a helping hand. His name has become synonymous with grassroots development — a leader whose footprints are not just seen in the dust but felt in the daily comfort of the people. His love for Ilara Mokin is not of the lip service kind; it is rugged, raw, and ready to work.
As Chairman of Ifedore Centre LCDA, Prince Adetanmi understands that governance is not about lofty speeches or distant plans, but about immediate impact. His philosophy seems rooted in the idea that a broken pipe, if left unattended, will flood the home — and so he moves swiftly to fix what is broken before it drowns the spirit of the people.
The repaired borehole, now humming with the rhythm of restored hope, is more than just a water source — it is a symbol of leadership that listens, sees, and responds. In a time when many politicians are content with ribbon-cutting ceremonies and photo ops, Prince Adetanmi has chosen the path of silent impact.
Indeed, the prince has written his name in the hearts of his people, not with ink but with action. And in Ilara Mokin, where gratitude runs as deep as the borehole itself, his gesture will be remembered not just as a repair — but as a revival.
