Ogun NUJ Is In Safe Hands With Razaq Ayinla – Fed Info NOA

Members of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ogun State Council, have attested to the leadership credibility of a chairmanship candidate for the forthcoming NUJ election, Comrade Razaq Ayinla.

The union members in Federal Information and National Orientation chapel gave the commendation on Monday when the chairmanship candidate, Razaq Ayinla and his Rebuild for Accountability Team, paid a campaign visit to the chapel.

Receiving the Team RA to the chapel, a member of the chapel, Mrs. Bukola Ilori expressed confidence in the charisma and integrity of the chairmanship candidate.

Mrs. Ilori noted that, her previous working relationship with Razaq Ayinla as a member of press week committee and education empowerment committee in 2017 was fruitful and inspiring.

According to her, Razaq Ayinla is highly connected and cerebral, who has the interest of the union and members welfare at heart.

She enjoined members of the union to vote for a thoroughbred professional who will unify members of the union devoid of pettiness and selfish interests.

“On behalf of my chairman, I welcome you all to federal information and National Orientation chapel. We are happy to be integrated back to the NUJ family after we were chased away.

“We are monitoring the trend of event, and I can state that we know everyone’s antecedent. But Razaq Ayinla stands out. I have worked with him at NUJ level and I can see that he’s passionate about the union and how members can be better.

“During our press week committee then, Razaq Ayinla used his influence and connections to secure us support from private multi national companies. So, I was not surprised when I heard he facilitated capacity building for 100 Ogun journalists, that’s what he does best. I have no doubt, that Ogun NUJ is in safe hands.”

Responding, the chapel chairman, Mrs. Toyin Oluwa appreciated TeamRA for the visit.

She expressed her disappointment in the Leadership of the Union in the State for abandoning the Chapel after the demise of their member and former chairman of the union in the state, late Soji Amosu.

Mrs. Oluwa said nobody from the State Council of NUJ visited to emphatize with them after the NOA chapel was evicted from NUJ.

She urged all candidates to campaign with decorum and create unity among members of the union.

Earlier, the Chairmanship candidate of TeamRA, Razaq Ayinla sought the support of the chapel’s leadership at the forthcoming NUJ election.

RA as fondly called, assured to improve on the welfare of members, resuscitate the moribund Iwe-Irohin newspaper, construction of the NUJ permanent secretariat at Abiola way, revive the IIJ training school, construction of lock up shops at Iwe-Irohin compound to serve as IGR, empower female journalists, quarterly capacity building for members and establish a cordial relationship with SWAN and NAWOJ and other Professional Associations in the State.
