There is no denying the fact that Dr. Olu Agunloye is one of the
few brains behind the rebranded Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in Ondo State
today. Agunloye stands tall among other governorship aspirants of the party.
His track record and contributions to better Nigeria and Ondo State in the past
and his task of growing and strengthening the ACN speak volume. The Olu Agunloye political experience
has spanned 33 years including the last 18 years of active participation. He
has waded through various terrains at the national and state levels in the past
and gathered significant experience and expertise that have truly prepared him
for political tasks ahead.
For instance,
Dr. Agunloye, who hails from Erusu Akoko in Akoko North-West Local Government area of Ondo
State, was an active member of the UPN from
1979. In 1979, he presented on NTA Network, a computerised analysis against the
12⅔ formula
within 48 hours of the announcement of the election result that year. In June 1983,
he made a computer assisted forecast of the 1983 Presidential election which
was published in the Punch Newspapers and which earned him an invitation to
meet with Chief Obafemi Awolowo in Abeokuta and a subsequent dinner with the
sage in his home at Ikene a few months later.
In August
1983, Dr. Agunloye set up the first
Digital Collation Centre in
Nigeria for the Presidential elections at Akure. This saved Chief Obafemi
Awolowo a total of 105,000 votes at the national elections. The then Governors
of Ondo (Chief Adekunle Ajasin) and of Oyo State (Chief Bola Ige) publicly
commended him and invited him back to set similar centres for the gubernatorial
elections in Oyo and Ondo States.In August 1983, Dr. Agunloye set up the Digital Collation Centre for the gubernatorial elections in Oyo
and Ondo States in Ibadan and Akure respectively. These elaborate efforts
decisively showed that the results of elections were rigged in the two States.
In Ondo State, these efforts helped regain the stolen mandate of Chief Adekunle
Ajasin who personally acknowledged this in his book, “Ajasin Memoirs and
Memories”, pg 379.
In 1993, Dr.
Olu Agunloye waded through the entire Constitutional Conference to stop the
National Assembly from scrapping the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) even
after its Special Committee recommended the scrapping of the Commission. In 1998,
Agunloye was a foundation member of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) and played
active roles in Ondo State politics. In November 1998, Agunloye presented
himself for the gubernatorial contest in Ondo State under the banner of
Alliance for Democracy. Akoko Obas and elders led by the then Asiwaju of
Akokoland, Chief Rufus Giwa persuaded him to step down for Chief Adebayo
Adefarati for harmony in the land and he graciously complied.
In January
1999, Agunloye again presented himself for the senatorial primaries for the
Senate Seat for Ondo North Senatorial District under the banner of Alliance for
Democracy but he lost that to Senator Ayo Lawrence (from Owo) at the Primaries
because of the zoning formula devised to facilitate the governorship of Chief Adefarati
(Akoko South).
In year 2000,
the man Agunloye served as a member of the Constitutional
Review Committee which
interacted very successfully with the legislators and the executive arm of
government and produced a Draft Revised Constitution for Nigeria. In 2001,
along with a few others, Agunloye successfully lobbied the National Assembly to
save the then President Olusegun Obasanjo from imminent impeachment. Agunloye
made an incursion into the PDP in 2003, the ruling party in Nigeria to join the
mainstream of politics in Nigeria with the belief that this was the best for
Yorubaland. For him, this turned out to be a miscalculation.
In 2007,
Agunloye teamed with a few others in the minority of Ondo State politics to
establish a totally unknown party – the Labour Party - to oust the ruling
party, PDP in Ondo State. In the year 2008, Agunloye interacted with the hierarchy
of the National Assembly on electronic driven Parliamentary Administration
(e-Parliament) and Capacity Building for e-Government and viable implementation
programmes.He, in 2009, served as the Chairman of the ICT Thematic Area of the
National Technical Working Committee for National Vision 20-2020.
In 2009, Agunloye, as co-founder
of the LP, set up an expansive campaign for the Northern Senatorial seat in
Ondo State under the Labour Party but lost out on 6th January 2011 to internal machinations
fore-planned by Governor Olusegun Mimiko only 5 days to the scheduled Primaries
of the Labour Party. In 2011, the man Dr. Olu Agunloye,
joined the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and teamed up with others to begin,
in earnest, the process of rebuilding the party and to present himself for the
governorship ticket of the party.
As a man who does not believe in
failure, shortly after the April 2011 general elections in which performance of
the party was poor, Dr Agunloye swung into action. What was his mission even
though one would have thought that the man would be depressed, even while
others did, with the results of the election? He was never the party Chairman
but as a party Chief, Dr. Agunloye believed that the failure of the party was
because it was never on its footage and proper shape as at the time it entered
into the elections.
Contributions
to ACN
Dr. Olu
Agunloye has worked vigorously to build ACN since he joined the party in
January 2011. Agunloye’s robust contributions stand out significantly and
conspicuously on two occasions at two periods in the life of ACN in Ondo State
when the party was in a depressed state. Firstly, in
January 2011, Agunloye spearheaded a fresh drive to rejuvenate the party and to
give it a quantum leap from a behind position to the forefront in Ondo State.
His contributions to a new life
for ACN in Ondo State went far beyond the North Senatorial District where he
established fully staffed six LG offices, each provided with branded 15-seater
bus, three motorcycles as well as 80 chairs, 10 tables, one large TV, DSTV
decoder, generating sets and various games in addition to 30 coordinators and
380 canvassers. Second occasion was in May 2011, after
another depression caused by the results of the April 2011 elections which he
believes were literarily hijacked by the incumbent government. According to the
governorship aspirant, “as early as the first week of May 2011, barely two
weeks after election results engineered by the incumbent Governor to devastate
ACN, I started a formidable Wind
of Change campaign throughout
the State to rekindle the ACN flame and to preach that Ondo State is Next.”
This, Dr. Olu Agunloye
accomplished with road-shows with a team of 24 people including notable ACN
leaders, women and youth leaders, one traditional ruler and religious leaders.
This drive was so vigorous and committed that by August 2011, they had covered all
the 203 Wards, visited 76 Palaces and met 235 leaders all over Ondo State
propagating Wind of Change and raising
the flag of ACN. This team with Dr. Olu Agunloye also
used door to door meetings, radio, television and newsprint programmes as well
as internet based social networks to campaign for ACN development. Above all,
they have established a very strong and firmly rooted people driven network
tagged Omoluabi Platform in all 18 LGAs of Ondo State to
consolidate their reach and to promote the qualities, mission and benefits of
ACN.
Up till today, Agunloye’s Omoluabi Platform has facilitated several harvests of
thousands of new members across the state decamping into ACN from Labour Party,
PDP and other political parties and groups. No doubt, Agunloye and his Omoluabi Platform, which has become envy of others, is
firmly on ground, deeply rooted and ready to effect power shift in Ondo State. Dr. Olu
Agunloye, whose mission is to run for the seat of Governor in Ondo State for
the 2013-2017 tenure under the banner of the ACN, is prepared to bring to bear
on the position of the Governor of Ondo State the technical and administrative competence, credibility and compassion he has acquired in public
service over 36 years as well as his political experience of steadfastness,
loyalty and strength of character over the same period.
This, Agunloye believes, will
bring a change in the way public officers serve and
lead to genuine creation of common wealth and empowerment in Ondo State.
Agunloye, a firm believer in the South-West politics, is ready to collaborate
to integrate Ondo State socio-economically with the rest of the sub region for
industrial transformation and sustainable development in Ondo State and
Yorubaland. Dr. Olu Agunloye’s antecedents
in Public Service eloquently speak for his capacity and capability to deliver credible services. That he
achieved 36 years of meritorious public service without blemish is an
attestation to his impeccable character and credibility as well as compassion for truth, equitable standards and
justice.
As grassroots man, Dr. Olu
Agunloye made personal contributions to community development. He has been giving scholarships
since 1976 to date to various students at the secondary schools, colleges of
Education, Polytechnics and Universities.He has been
supplying exercise books to primary school children since 1995 and supplying
water to the community for 12 years. He rehabilitated Assembly Hall and
Teachers block at the Victory College Ikare in 1996. He erected science
building at Comprehensive College, Erusu in 1998. He has been paying WAEC, NECO
and JAMB fees to numerous pupils since 1995 and facilitating massive youth
employment at every stage of his life in public service.
He has
donated several bundles of roofing sheets to victims of windstorms 8 times
between 1992 and 2010. He made various contributions to development of schools
programmes in rural areas including sports and athletics programmes aside his
various contributions to church and mosque programmes and activities. He made
payment of monthly allowances to teachers and NYSC members working in a
Community School and provided free accommodation for teachers and students in a
community school.
I have worked for 13 months building Ondo ACN for my
governorship ticket says Agunloye
Dr Olu Agunloye, a former Minister,
is one of the leading contenders in the race for the governorship ticket of the
Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). In this interview with SEUN ADEBOWALE, he
spoke on his contributions to the growth of the party since January 2011 and
the progress he has made so far with his Omoluwabi Platform which he believes
are enough to earn him the party’s ticket
Can you tell us few things about your
background?
Dr. Olu Agunloye is from Erusu Akoko
in Akoko North-West Local Government area of Ondo State. It is good for me to
minimize my discussion on my CV because somehow I am probably former this,
former that or ex this ex that by most people. It is better that I say that I
was former lecturer in the University of Ibadan. I was former Managing Director
of a Geophysical prospecting Company and a former Managing Director of a
fabrication and instrumentation company. I became well known in Nigeria as
former pioneering Chief Executive of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRCN).
I headed the commission between the periods of 1988 to 1994.
I was Chief Executive Officer of this
Commission under two Chairmen; Professor Wole Soyinka for two and the half
years and under Admiral Akin Aduwo for another two and the half years. Then I
went back to private practice where I could say I was also former CEO of a
large scale computerization company in Lagos State. From there, I became
Special Assistant to the late uncle Bola Ige; first in his capacity as the
Minister of Power and Steel and secondly in his capacity as the Minister for
Justice and Attorney-General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
After those two positions, I became
the Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria two times in different
capacities. I was Minister of Defence (Navy) and later Minister of Power and
Steel. After that, I left government service. I spent the last six years before
I joined full time politics as head of the National E-government Strategies
which is a Public Private Partnership as one of the experiments the government
tried to do with the private sector. I had the mandate this time around to
incorporate ICT techniques and processes into government activities. By
September 2010, I formerly disengaged from this position to face full time
politics. At the moment I am a full time politician under the banner of the
Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
You are one of the governorship
aspirants of the ACN but before now, what will you say are your contributions
to the growth of the party in Ondo State?
First, I must commend that question
because it talks about my contributions to my party called ACN. Actually, my
contributions to ACN, strengthening, the building and the rebuilding of the
party in Ondo State is one of the strongest things that I am bringing into the
politics of Ondo State. I will try to tell you how this came about very briefly
before I go into the details of my own contributions to what I called a
stronger ACN in Ondo State. At the time I joined the ACN in January 10, 2011,
ACN was fairly weak and different from what it is today in the state.
The reason why the party was weak at
that time is not far-fetched; it was weak because the chieftains of the ACN
imagined that Labour Party (LP) was the de-facto ACN; so all efforts of ACN
chieftains in Ondo State and in Nigeria was actually tinted towards building LP
in Ondo State, the details of which may not be necessary here. The effort to
build LP in Ondo State was also with the hope that the LP will later merge with
ACN but at a particular stage, just before I joined ACN, it became visible that
ACN itself was already taking steps to show the public that ACN and the LP are
not the same and that it will be wrong for anybody to assume that. This made
the party weak at that time.
My efforts actually spearheaded a
very significant change that made the party found its footing when I joined. I
must say here with all modesty that even though I played a significant role, a
lot of other people also joined me in promoting ACN. That was the first
intervention spearheaded by me. The second one, which I can tell you my own
contributions, is my intervention after the April 2011 elections. In the first
three months that I spent in the party, I needed to be integrated into the
party very fast because the election was just three months away then.
We did that to a level that ACN was
set to win the election maybe winning a number of positions but at the end of
the day, ACN did not win any position as declared by INEC. One thing was
glaring then that ACN won some positions which were rigged but instead of
contesting these positions, the party just allowed sleeping dog to lie. With
that, after the election, ACN went into depression mood and the morale was
down. The hype that was created before had actually diminished.
It was at that point that I started
the second phase of rebuilding a stronger ACN as a party. We started that
exactly May 8, 2011 which was two weeks after the elections’ results were
announced. Many people were still mourning the results when we came out with
two buses and four Jeeps and 24 people including one Oba, who is the Oba of my
town, the Osula of Erusu. They included four women leaders and two elders. We
needed to do that because we wanted to showcase ACN as a party with elders. As
we can see, it is not all political parties that have elders. So, that is a
good point for ACN. An Imam of Erusu was in that team, representative of
Christian Association of Nigeria, representative of Labour Unions and Youth
were in that team.
That team with me started with a tour
of 49 wards in Akoko. We did that three times. The first tour gave us the
opportunity to speak with the excos of ACN, the second tour was to discuss with
elders of the party and the third round was to speak with Obas and we visited
47 palaces in the 49 wards. After the Akoko tour, we moved to other parts of
the state, then by August we have gone through all the Local Government Areas
and the Wards. We called that Phase I of our campaign. The theme of that
campaign then was essentially how to build ACN, building membership and making
people to understand the direction we want to go. We called that The Wind of Change.
The campaign was that all the other
states in the South-West have become progressive and that Ondo State must also
join progressive politics. This went on with Billboards, Radio and Television
jingles and newspapers adverts. I did that singlehandedly for four months
between May 2011 and August 2011. We put it in a catalogue called the Volume I
of the chronicle of our contributions. We printed leaflets and all sort of
things and not necessarily because of my campaign to be Governor but towards
building a stronger ACN.
We played on the legacies of our past
leaders from Obafemi Awolowo, Papa Adekunle Ajasin, late Chief Adebayo
Adefarati, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and we let people know that this state must follow
in that direction. We made billboards that have their pictures to preach this
message of the Wind of Change.
We knew that we were successful with that because we experienced what we can
call harvest of new members into the party. We printed vests for them as we
received them. I must say that we must have printed not less than 6, 000 vest
between the periods of May and August 2011.
By the second phase which was a
period that covered another four months (September to December 2011), we
adjusted the theme of our campaign to get what we called The Rallying Point for Hope. I knew that I needed to tailor my
contributions also to myself and to my focus of wanting to be the next Governor
of Ondo State. I was not working as consultant to the party but my interest was
to build the party such that it can be the best party under which I can contest
the governorship election. We decided that the party needed not to have only
structures of people but also physical structures and that was the period that
I decided to have offices across the state with headquarters in Akure.
As at today, we have 52 offices
across the state. What I mean by offices here is that we have a platform of the
ACN that we called Omoluabi
Platform that is represented
in all the 18 local government areas and 203 wards in the state. In these
offices, all members of the party meet and interact daily on the progress of
the party. Women, men and youth come to these offices to pray, watch football
and other games as well as hold meetings and get briefing on what next about
the platform. That was phase II. The Phase III was another four months between
January and April 2012. We called that process the consolidation process and
outreach.
We go out to meet people who are not
necessarily in Ondo State and brief them about what we have done and to lobby
them so that they can understand what we have done and then consolidation in
the sense that we needed to carryout programmes which will allow a lot of
harvests we have had through the Omoluabi
Platform to be productive within the ACN. Again, to also have members who
are supportive of our position within ACN because if we are going to hold
primaries, you have to get members who support your cause. That was what we did
in the Phase III. The Phase IV, to me had come in not either in the period of
three or four months but it is the support that has been running in parallel
because we found out that we were witnessing rapid growth of Omoluabi Platform in different places.
There is Omoluabi Platform in Lagos,
Port Harcourt, Abuja, London and New
York among other places. These are people who by themselves got the kind of
idea which we have posted on the website to model what they do to become
members of the ACN and members who are supportive of Dr. Olu Agunloye’s
ambition. The Lagos State Omoluabi started to run some programmes on the
television and radio within Lagos and when they thought that that may not have
maximum relevant to Ondo State, they shifted the base to Ondo State on Adaba
Radio.
Recently, they sent their executives
to meet me in Akure with loads of campaign materials like T. Shirts, Caps,
branded ball pens, stickers etc. If you look at this, some of the ways we can
put a finger in our efforts has been one in terms of structures that we have
built and again the number of people that have come into ACN. For instance, we
are planning to hold our 200th decamping session in the state. We have videos
and photographs that can show these series of decamping rallies we have
organized.
This is our ways of showing that we
have not only built human structures but also physical structures and a number
of people joining the party from LP, PDP etc. We are happy to also say that the
entire People’s Progressive Alliance (PPA) has indicated interest to join us.
We have been talking to them for the past two months. People may not also know
that when Prince Adewale Omojuwa, the former OSOPADEC Chairman joined the ACN,
we had been working on him for the past seven months before that time.
What is the Omoluabi Platform all
about?
There are two things that we need to
say here. The first one is Omoluabi
concept itself. We needed to have a platform and then we called the Omoluabi
Platform. The reason for this
is not far-fetched. We have looked into the polity and we have found so many
lapses that can be traced to the way people to serve are selected. In most
cases, we end up selecting the wrong people. Some of the lapses can be seen in
the way we evaluate them. For instance, you selected or elected him and at the
end he failed to do what you wanted him to do. The hospital goes bankrupt under
his management, the roads are not constructed and he steals the state money.
Consequently, he was arrested by law enforcement agents and he was released
after a while.
Then, people go after him to eulogize
him or making him a high ranking chief and he comes back again that he wants to
serve in a bigger capacity and you allow him. So, these are the lapses. We are
saying that for us to start making a difference, we must try to change the way
we select or elect people who will serve. We must also change the way we see
the services that they offer. One of the basic things that we must look at if
we must choose a person to represent us, in this 21st Century, is competence. Second thing
is that he must be credible. The third one is little far-fetched but when you
look at it you find out that it is important. The person to choose must be
compassionate.
It is for the lack of passion that a
man who is picked to serve spends money for drugs in hospitals on something
else like using it to construct round about or put water fountain on the roads
even when there is no potable water for the people to drink. Again, patients in
the hospitals are dying because of lack of drugs. It is because the leaders who
are chosen to serve or servants of the people are not compassionate that there
is high rate of unemployment and decadence in the education sector. It is me
who wants to contest that needed to explain these things to people in a word
that can aptly represent these qualities in me.
My own choice of word for this is Omoluabi. Omoluabi is a very
deep concept in Yoruba land. It is a concept that our people understand very
well. Omo means child but you cannot use the Omo in Omoluabi for a twenty years old boy
whatever he has done. We use this only for a mature mind. Omoluabi is not used
again for a hardworking man alone because it is tied to integrity and trust. If
you look at what we have had, we discover that our leaders run into trouble
because they are not honourable. This means that they are not trust worthy.
Again we must understand that we already have an Iroko and what are you going
to use against him?
Iroko shows a tree that is strong and
wants to make forest alone. It is also a strong phenomenon that always harbors
evil things. It always allow for corruption and those things that digress it.
We have that tree in the politics of Ondo State and if you are looking for
alternative tree, do you look for Obese or Araba tree? The situation must be
subtly solved and not to look for a Goliath to fight Goliath.You must look for a David to bring
that Goliath down. We need to use that Omoluabi that our people
understand and at the same time you can decide to call it any name that will
suit that purpose. My colleagues in this race have their own platform. We have
Sunshine Mandate etc. As we speak, the incumbent Governor of the state has what
he called Iroko 2013 Platform.
You cannot but do that because in your party, it
is not everybody that will work with you although they will vote for you during
election but you cannot command them all at the same time like those you have
on your platform. What we did with Omoluabi is to properly register members by giving
them forms. In Ese-Odo and Ikare, we have not been able to collect these
forms back but we have 157, 000 forms already collected.If we need them to come to Akure, I
do not need to beg them before they come. You know what this means, it means we
have additional members for ACN. At the same time, we may have some aspirants
who may decide not to do it this way; I say good luck to them. All along every
member of Omoluabi Platform has contributed immensely to our aspiration. Many
of them have spent a lot of money on this struggle. We are in the struggle that
is strategic and Omoluabi Platform is the entire strategy that we need to win
this battle.
What have been the challenges since
you began the processes of rebuilding the party to the level of conceptualizing
and nurturing of Omoluabi Platform for your governorship aspiration?
The main challenges for the Omoluabi
Platform has been how to continually raise the resources to have tremendous
impact in the circumstances where everybody says he would support you after you
get the ticket. Many people do not want to part with their cash when they are
not sure of what the process will be. Yet we needed the resources to get the
ticket. The resources that we have challenges over are not limited to money. We
needed to get a lot of men to do the work. The human resource challenge here is
that we have a lot of aspirants so men and women that could work with you have
to spread themselves among the aspirants.
The old members of the party
especially those who hold positions at state, local government and ward levels
also stand away from you because they say that executive members are not
allowed to align with an aspirant. That makes it very difficult and as I have
said the environment where you have to fend for yourself before a candidate
emerges makes it more difficult than you can imagine. The second challenge, I
will prefer to say is an aberration. That is the reaction of either LP or LP
sympathizers or agent or what we can also call our adversaries to the growth of
our party.
The LP members would attack us and at
the end our members are locked up instead and the attempt to get them out of
prison becomes difficult than those being tried for treason. You find out that
even when we raise money to buy vehicles for our campaign, they are vandalized
by the agents of LP. Personally, my teams have had four of our buses damaged by
these LP thugs. Our billboards are damaged at will. As at the last count, 16 of
my billboards have been damaged. At a particular spot in Akure, a billboard was
damaged four times. They attacked our members and buses. This should not be
part of challenge for political activities and that is why I called it an
aberration.
How will you describe your
relationship with other governorship aspirants who are in the race for the
ticket of the party?
Incidentally I can say that I have
had dealings and personal relationship with more than half of the aspirants.
Chief Tayo Alasoadura, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice, Saka Lawal, Hon. Ajatta, Rotimi
Akeredolu, Tunji Abayomi, Jamiu Ekungba, we all relate well together.
Incidentally Jamiu Ekungba and Rotimi Akeredolu are my cousins. Ifedayo
Abegunde, Segun Ojo, Sola Iji, Omololu Meroyi are also among those that I have
had direct dealing with. The truth is that I respect them a lot because they
are eminently qualified to represent the people of this state. I know that a
couple of them when they face any project, they do so with enthusiasm and
commitment to make it succeed. Segun Abraham for instance, we are not related
but we are like brothers. When my wife asked me if it was the same Segun
Abraham, I said yes.
That was because if we were to do
anything in our household, all what Segun Abraham needed is to be told two days
before the event and he would be there. I have tried to reciprocate that. Tunji
Abayomi is more of a musician than a lawyer. I look forward to one of these
days when I will be able to raise enough money to buy him musical instrument.
He is a fantastic singer. My relationship with Ajatta dated to the period when
I was a Road Safety officer. I respect them and I know that I have to maintain
good relationship with them because I know that as a man who wants to be
governorship candidate of the party, I must be at peace with the hierarchy of
the party, the new members and various groups within the party.
What do you think stands you out
among others?
I must confess to you that in the
thorough way that I have taken every project that comes my way, I have taken
this one like that. A long time ago, I actually did some tour to talk to some
people within the hierarchy of ACN, some issues came out from that tour which
means that they have been talking to themselves. I could mark out five things
for the person who will be the candidate of the party. One; the candidate must
be somebody that is competent and have pedigree; the candidate must have
managerial skills. There are some people who have not governed more than 12
people in their offices.
A renown layer has about 30 people in
the country and you cannot at the same time compare him with a VC that govern
1, 000 staff and 59, 000 students. Three, the person must be on ground. He must
be on the field and should be able to command the votes. Four, he must be able
to build a bridge. There are so many broken bridges that we need to fix within
the party. The last but not the least, he must be loyal to the party. When you
look at all these, there is no gainsaying the fact that I have all these
abilities. The one that is difficult to evaluate is this last one. If you talk
about loyalty, how do you define it? If you ask all the aspirants to swear to
oat they will. If you ask them to swear before a shrine they will do. In my own
case, my loyalty has been well defined when I held two positions as Minister. I
was loyal at work, loyal to those who worked with me, to the community and
loyal to those who assisted me to get there. When I was in FRSC, I was in
charge of 105 formations nationwide.
People could remember what I did to
those who were my superiors at that time. My loyalty could also be seen to the
late uncle Bola Ige who assisted me to get to ministerial position then. After
Bola Ige died, people can check how loyal I was to uncle Bola Ige family and
the Afenifere that was supporting Bola Ige then. I doubt if sons of Bola Ige will
be asked to write family names without writing my name. How do you want to
check loyalty? I will say you should check my records. Let me submit that the
man Dr. Olu Agunloye is firmly on ground to win the forthcoming governorship
election for ACN after getting the ticket.
