Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State says the emergence of Alhaji Abdulwaheed Odusile as the new President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) is a reflection of the commitment of members to move the union to a higher level.
In a congratulatory message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Peter Okhiria on Monday, the Governor said “Waheed Odusile’s victory at the keenly contested election reflects the wishes of members to effect the desired change in the affairs of the union.
“I have implicit confidence that, with you as President of the NUJ, the union will no doubt get a true and selfless leadership needed to key into the Change agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari and bring unparalleled growth to members of your great union.
“Your pedigree as a reputed journalist in many media houses and a unionist with experience spanning over two decades have prepared you for the onerous task of leading the NUJ to a higher level.
“Even as we celebrate your victory, I give kudos to the other candidates for a gallant fight, and for the peaceful conduct of the delegates’ conference. There is no doubt that other unions can learn from the peaceful and transparent manner with which the NUJ election was conducted.
“I urge the other candidates to join hands with the new NUJ President to reposition the Union as the conscience of the nation.”
