....UNVEILS HIS MANIFESTO

Earlier Monday, the All Progressives Congress (APC), candidate for House of Representatives in Ekiti South Federal Constituency 1, Air Vice Marshal Rufus Adeniyi Ojuawo (retd) formally met with Journalists under the aegis of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ekiti State Council, at their secretariat in Ado Ekiti, where he discussed his vision and mission for his constituents if elected come next year general election. 


According to the retired senior military officer, Nigeria is on the trajectory of executing another civilian to civilian transition, come 2023. This development AVM Ojuawo described as heart warming for all patriotic citizens and real lovers of democracy in Ekiti South Federal Constituency 1 as it presents another opportunity to produce another representive in the next four years. 
Ekiti South Federal Constituency 1, comprises Ise/Orun, Ikere and Ekiti South West Local Government Areas. 

AVM Ojuawo who fielded questions from the journalists from print, electronic and online media domiciled in the state, said he acknowledge the place of journalists as purveyors of information and patriotic Nigerians who keep the public informed and enlightened about issues in the country and beyond. He thereby craved their partnership in his bid to run for a seat in the Green Chambers in the next elections.

Ojuawo intimated the journalists of his trajectory as young military officer who served his country diligently in and out of Nigeria for about thirty seven years, retiring as an Air Vice Marshal ( equivalent of Major General) in the Nigeria Ariforce.
' just to let you know that just two days after my retirement from the military, the immediate past Governor of Ekiti State called me up and again saddled me with the responsibility of building the Ekiti Airport. I'm happy that we were able to deliver the airport in record time and the airport will become fully operational hopefully by April next year.' Ojuawo said

The candidate said his interest in representing the people of his constituency in Hose of Representatives is borne out of his continued interest in serving the people and humanity in general. 
He therafter unveiled his manifesto and areas of focus when he becomes the people's representative come 2023.

These, according to the candidate include, education, with emphasis on leadership training.
Education makes it easy for people to be led, but they have to be imbued with the spirit of patriotism, this can only come when everyone has a sense of leadership in whatever space they find themselves. Unfortunately we do not offer leadership as a course or subject of study in our curriculum. My aim is to make sure that through legislation leadership is taught right from primary and secondary schools. It has to be in our curriculum of education and the benefits would only be imagined.'

Other areas of focus for AVM Ojuawo are Agriculture, youth empowerment and positioning of women to take their rightful place in the development of the country.

The interactive session had in attendance journalists from major national newspapers, TV and Radio stations as well as online platforms.

The journalists later engaged AVM Ojuawo on his manifesto es and some of his earlier assignments as a military officer and Technical Adviser on Ekiti Airport project. They promised to   use their media to promote his candidature while urging him to use his position to uplift media practitioners who toil day and night in service to the people and country.
