RECENTLY EDITED
As i sit in the UNILAG TV studio this odd hour, after spending hours covering the Faculty of Law new building fundraiser at the intercontinental hotel, i began to ask myself, ‘why are you contesting for SOSSA presidency?’ ‘why leave the progressives?’ ‘won’t you regret?
The answers to this questions came just as sudden as the questions came.
Sequel to the epistle I wrote and posted on the progressives group stating my reasons for leaving the group, i have the following to say.

AS a conscious student of our great faculty, and due to several questions bothering on my sudden disassociation with the political ideology i used to belong to, i offer the following explanation:
The faculty has reached a stage where people being considered for executive positions actually fit those offices. I am of the view that anybody leading me and other students of our ever conscious and sagacious faculty should really have records or prospects that fit whatever portfolio they are vying for.
I found it funny and extremely embarrassing to be working with a social secretary [contesting] that speaks terrible grammar, that cannot maintain a stable online presence where the views of the people i and other members of my cabinet are leading can be fully expressed.
I found it funny to be a president who would hide in convenience claiming to be working underground rather than come forward to address issues that affect my constituents. I found it funny to have people on my cabinet in whom i would be scared to send to functions because i am scared of their public relations tactics considering the level at which they operate intellectually.
All in all, i wanted to be a part of an administration that is not filled up by people chosen based on some certain idiosyncrasies. I needed a team of intellectuals with charisma and not empty-brained wannabes. TO BE CONTINUED….
