Why I am the next Ogun NURTW Chairmam – ENIBA

The Ogun NURTW Hopeful Chairman Adeshina Okegbenro popularly called Eniba has stated why he deserved to be the next Ogun NURTW Chairman.

He said I have worked tirelessly to build and developed NURTW in Ogun state, and I think this is my time to be the next Chairman, he noted I started as a conductor under a well know driver in Kuto garage called Orji Legacy.

Eniba who was born in Isale Ijeun area of Abeokuta south local government later proceeded as a parking attendance in Ita-Oshin garage during the military regime led by Captain Sam Ewang 23years back.

He said “I am always an active member since I join the Union, According to him he said my diligence held me to become the Ex-Offiicio post at the same garage after which I proceeded to Kuto garage as member”.

Comrade Adesina who was made the caretaker Chairman then, when the Union was dissolved, he later got promoted as the branch ii Chairman in Kuto garage which lasted for 2years before the change of government.

Adesina said I was later persuaded by the opposition to join their fold but I stand by the truth that’s what led to my dismissal. The National body of the union intervened on five good occasions in 2011 to 2019 and instructed the state body to reinstate my unconstitutional dismissed but they insisted. Only because I stand with the Progressive.

Eniba said his dismissal wasn’t a thing that affected Abeokuta garages alone, but the entire state. He stood firm and believe God’s will prevail he added.

Having done all that, I received a lot of life threatening messages from Akeem Adeosun popularly called Jango under the administration of Senator Amosun. This make me to run for my life to united state of America for some times now.

Although Ogun NURTW Chairmanship is not a child play it required someone who knows what his people want and that can stand by the truth.

Eniba who sponsored all his followers and instructed them to work for His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun during the last election.

He said after going through all this i thought i deserved to be the next Ogun NURTW chairman because of my capability and integrity.

I am using this medium to tell all NURTW members across the state that i Comrade Adeshina Okegbenro (ENIBA) is contesting for the position of NURTW Chairman Ogun State Chapter and i am ready to bring transformation to the union.

ELECTORAL FRAUD AND STOLEN MANDATES, THE REAL OBSTACLE TO NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The flag bearer of Accord Party for the state House of Assembly representing Ijebu North east LGA at the just concluded general election,

Omoba Olumide Okueyungbo who has since decamped to the peoples Democratic party PDP has identified subverting the will of the people as a major inhibitor for national development.

Speaking with newsmen in Abeokuta on Monday, the party man explained that Nigeria has all resources it needs to be counted among the class of developed countries in the world but for greedy leaders who subvert the choice of the people.

Okueyungbo who equated stolen mandate to the act of stealing said corruption flourishes because leaders subvert the popular will of the people for selfish gains.

In his words, “stealing as an art requires effort and usually a much scheming the same goes for stealing the people’s mandate. Mandate thieves thrive on greed and this breeds distrust, strife, resentment, depression, unproductivity and ultimately the death of institutions.

“I believe this is why constitutions world over and even the Holy Books prescribes various degrees of punishments for thieves.

“However, our electoral systems seems to consistently produce individuals who tend to be undaunted by the Constitution they swore to protect.

“Electoral fraud and subsequently stolen mandates is by far the greatest display of man’s inhumanity to man. The subversion of the will of the people is tantamount to slavery. Little wonder that the socioeconomic indices has in recent times revealed that our people have been working more and yet the purchasing power, or the ability to sustain relevant relationships has been dwindling out simultaneously. This aptly describes the living conditions of a slave.”

He further opined that, “electoral fraud inhinders rapid industrialization, regional integration and press freedom is always in jeopardy as dissenting voices have to be suppressed and our airwaves filled with propaganda throughout the era to create a sense of achievement which is actually nonexistent.”

Okueyungbo who took a swipe at the federal government over the continued slide into poverty of the citizenry said there’s no tangible commitment to any project or laws aimed at improving the lives Nigerians, save mere rhetorics.

He noted that naming the Eagles Square after MKO at a time when the recently concluded Presidential election result is still under contention before the Court amounts to playing to the gallery as the essence of Democarcy which June 12 represents is not upheld.

While commending the doggedness of Alhaji Abubakar Atiku’s democratic approach in retrieving his lost mandate, he called on stakeholders to be committed to upholding the ideals of democracy for the interest of the country
