Addressing attendees, Issa-Ore, represented by the National Headquarters’ Head of Finance, Mrs. Adedamola Salam, confirmed that the South-West zone had adhered to the union’s constitutional requirements in selecting Akinsanya as President.
Alongside Akinsanya, Tajudeen Agbede was chosen as Vice President for the South-West, and Akeem Adeosun was appointed Trustee for the zone. Upon taking his oath, Akinsanya emphasized unity within the union, calling for peace and expressing his desire for mutual forgiveness among members. “This is our union, and we must remain dedicated to preserving it,” he stated. “We will not allow anyone to jeopardize our livelihood.”
