Who Changes A Winning Team?

Who Changes A Winning Team?

It's a wise saying the world over that you don't change a winning team. Not only because nothing else is needed other than winning for any team, but because in a world where talk is cheap, there are talkers more than doers and no wise man or woman would sacrifice a confirmed performer for a promise peddler.

Ekiti South Federal Constituency1 has been lucky, in fact blessed to have had a true representative and legislator in the last two and a half years in the green chambers. Even members of the chamber, drawn across the length and breath of Nigeria, made up of 360 Representatives have at different times attested to the capacity of Air Vice Marshal Rufus Adeniyi Ojuawo (rtd). 

Despite being a first timer in the chamber, a golden fish has no hiding place. Ojuawo has displayed uncanny capacity, performance, integrity and popularity that he became the darling of not just the members but a worthy representative of the Speaker at different fora. That's trust!

Perhaps, we should not be surprised at why Ojuawo has continued to deliver on his mandate of representation, legislation and oversight functions.

 Why? The story of the Ekiti International Cargo Airport would not be complete or do we say may not even be told , if not for the dedication, forthrightness, influence and close supervision of the flying General who brought all that was needed to deliver a world class international airport in a record two years! That airport stands as a testimony and pride of Ekiti people and their resolve and ability to deliver wherever they find themselves!

Air Vice Marshal Ojuawo's activity in the green chambers since 2023 can only be achieved by a representative who came prepared. His many motions, leading debates, oversight functions in critical areas of national life and attracting dividends of democracy to his constituents and constituency are simply outstanding. (You may need to see some of these in the attached brochure).

Ojuawo has taken representation to a higher, loftier dimension, beyond tokenism and stomach infrastructure, to include community projects consisting of two large farms that have drawn the attention of global organisations, building roads, providing electricity infrastructure, facilitating medical equipment and hospital, building schools, capacity building and training for artisans/professionals and still supporting both party and individual members. All this on his honour and selfless service. Little wonder, his appellation among his colleagues in the house is 'Mr. Integrity'. In a world where everybody grabs for himself, it takes a man committed to the good of his people to stand tall and be a worthy representative.

The people of Ekiti South Federal Constituency 1 can only wish that the good works continue, that the good man continues and a man who has displayed the same spirit like the performing Governor, His Excellency Biodun Oyebanji continues to deliver on an established mandate. Air Vice Marshal Adeniyi Ojuawo is the man, Ekiti South Federal Constituency 1 is the mandate. Let's keep it intact!
