A former Vice Chairman of Osun State Broadcasting Corporation chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in the state, Alhaji Lateef Olajide Agboola has said he was able to serve his chapel meritoriously as secretary and vice chairman and that he would ensure that the union moves to another level if elected.

The council through its Electoral Committee otherwise known as NUJECO had fixed February 13, 2020 for the conduct of the elections.

Agboola who is a committed member of NUJ, Osun council is vying for Secretary position.

The former Secretary of OSBC Chapel in a statement made available to CityMirrorNews on Tuesday in Osogbo explained that he was contesting as the scribe in a bid to contribute his quota to the uplift of the union.

He said “my main purpose of contesting for secretary position is to have my own impact on moving the Union forward at another level, having served my chapel meritoriously and selflessly as Secretary then and later as vice chairman.”

“I am competent and I have always proved that a true leader must be someone who has his own mind, not a puppet.”

Lateef Olajide Agboola was born on September 22, 1976 to the family of Chief and Chief (Mrs) Tijani Agboola of Olaese’s Compound, Amola Street, Ikirun. He was born at Good luck Village via Oniparaga, Odigbo local government area of Ondo state where his father had a very large cocoa and cola nut farm.
