OBOKUN/ORIADE TOUR: Aregbesola Charges ADC Members On Commitment To Party, Mission To Reclaim Osun

 

Says People’s Resolve To Restore Good Governance Unshaken
– As Party Leaders Rally Members On Aggressive Mobilisation
– Commissions ADC party secretariat at Oriade Local Government, Ijebu-Jesa

 

It was yet again another atmosphere filled with an outpouring of love, solidarity, support and restatement of the belief of the people in a political movement they trust, as members, loyalists and supporters of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) trooped out massively to welcome their leaders led by the party’s National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, to Obokun/Oriade federal constituency, on Monday.

Addressing stakeholders at the Ijebu-Jesa Town Hall, the ADC National Secretary admonished them to continue mobilising aggressively for the success of the party.

He said judging by the warm reception accorded the ADC trail across the state, it is evident that Nigerians are committed to restore the country to good governance.

Aregbesola also called on the people not to resort to apathy with the current state of play in the polity, stressing that only their collective decision can move the country from its present state of bad governance to a realm of responsible leadership.

“It is evidently clear that the people no longer have confidence in the present government whose policies have raised the bar of hunger, poverty and insecurity in the land.

“While the people are unhappy with the situation, they must not be displeased into abandoning their civic rights, by joining a political party and tendency that is progressively minded, visionary and dedicated to returning their country to the era of good governance.

“I also urge you not to listen to the naysayers. One sure thing is that they know that they have been defeated. Majority of those who continue to malign us are people who have been rejected by the masses.

“So, I appeal to you, continue to mobilise for ADC. Work tirelessly to install a government of your own that will take care of the poor, pay attention to the welfare of the elderly, liberate the downtrodden and banish hunger,” Aregbesola reiterated.

Speaking separately, Osun ADC Chairman, Dr. Charles Omidiji, Chairman, Omoluabi Progressives, Alhaji Azeez Adesiji, former Speaker, Osun Assembly, Dr. Najeem Salaam, former SSG, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, among others commented the resilience of members to driving the course of change in the state and country at large.

They called on them not to relent, stressing that ADC remains the party to beat, as the people are ready to support their own in the 2026 and 2027 elections.

The party leaders had earlier paid a royal homage to the Elegboro of Ijebu-Jesa, Oba Moses Oluwafemi Agunloye, at his palace.

Oba Agunloye, who recalled his relationship with Ogbeni Aregbesola, dating over six decades, prayed for ADC’s success.

In attendance at today’s event were Alhaji Rasaq Salinsile, Engr. Jide Adeniji, Revd. Adelowo Adebiyi, Hon. M.B.O Ibrahim, among others.

The tour also witnessed the official commissioning of ADC party secretariat at Oriade Local Government, Ijebu-Jesa.

NAWOJ: SEKINAT, CHARITY GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE 

 

The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.

 

This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

 

The vote of confidence on the Leadership of NAWOJ was unanimously signed by all the five executive members that attended the meeting with the vice chairperson taking apology for official engagement outside the state capital.

 

According to the communique ” Consequently, NAWOJ Ogun State Chapter, reaffirms it’s unwavering support and confidence in the Chairperson and the Financial Secretary, Sekinat Salam and Charity James respectively, Urge them to continue in their commitment to purposeful leadership in the best interest of the association and the society at large”.

 

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.

 

According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.

 

She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.

 

While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.

 

She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
