NURTW endorses Oyetola for second term in Osun
The Nation Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), on Wednesday, endorses the candidature of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the State of Osun for a second term in office. The Union described Oyetola as a man of extraordinary performance, adding that his achievements in the last three years were the motivation for their support and open endorsement.
Speaking at the endorsement ceremony at Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, Osogbo, the Chairman of the South-West Zone and Osun Council of NURTW, Comrade Olalekan Folorunso, described Oyetola as a man of outstanding leadership traits and professional know-how, adding that the Union in particular and the State have benefitted from these qualities in no small measure.
He also lauded Oyetola’s administration for the recognition accorded the Union as critical stakeholders in the development of the State, stating that it had never been that good. Folorunso, who highlighted several commendable projects undertaken by Oyetola, said the Union was committed to ensuring that excellence is enthroned yet again.
“It gives me much pleasure to welcome His Excellency, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, the Executive Governor of the State of Osun and his entourage to this occasion organised by National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Osun State Council, on the occasion of its clarion call on the governor to serve the State for another term.
“The Union, at its monthly meeting, assessed the performance of His Excellency, despite the little resources available to the State, hence our resolve to support our governor to lead the State for another term of four years. This is a bold statement from the Osun State Council of NURTW to always keep your programmes and ideas to enable the State to attain its goals.
“We also express gratitude to the government of Mr Adegboyega Oyetola for the recognition accorded our Union as a major stakeholder in the Osun project. This is another reason we are also assuring him of our support,” Folorunso said.
Also speaking at the event, the Chairman of the Lagos Council and Vice-Chairman of South-West Zone of the Union, Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, lauded Governor Oyetola for the good work he is doing to bring actual development to the State.
He, however, called on members of the Union to prove that they are serious about their open endorsement, by doing their voter’s registration and turning out in large numbers to vote on the election date. In his response, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola commended the management and members of Osun Council of NURTW for the open show of support for his administration.
He, however, assured that his administration will continue to invest in human and infrastructural development for the benefit of different associations and people groups in the State.
” I am thrilled today that a notable Union like NURTW could come out with thousands of their members to endorse our administration. It is always a thing of joy for people to appreciate your little effort. I commend the State Chairman of the Union for this initiative.
“I appeal to you all to register and collect your voter’s cards. There is still an opportunity to do so. This is the only power to further prove your support for us, particularly in the next election. As said by your Chairman, we are here as a government for all, and nothing will stop us from putting the welfare and well-being of our people on the front burner.
“I am assuring you we will do more than what we have done. We are constructing several kilometres of roads to change the face of infrastructure and ensure an improved standard of living for all. We are committed to making life easier for all, and that is why we have been running an all-inclusive, participatory and Government-for-all as reflected in the successes we have recorded so far. We have seen your commitment, support and cooperation so far, and I am assuring you that soon, we will attend to your requests.
“We will leave no stone unturned to strengthen the existing synergy to bring about more success. I believe strongly that most of your people are for us as this informed today’s collective decision to endorse us for the second term. I am assuring you once again that you will not regret taking this action,” Oyetola said.
