Adeosun in his acceptance speech said “Your vote was not just a choice, it was a voice. A voice crying for a revived Union, a stronger structure, and a
leadership that truly listens, understands, and acts. I hear you. I feel your pulse and I am ready to serve. The purpose of unionism is to stand in the gap where silence has been loud, and presence has been absent. Let this
mark the rebirth of ASUP in our chapter, not as a passive body of forgotten lecturers, but as a fortified family of empowered academics.
“Today, I pledge together with my team of elected officers before you all, not to occupy an office, but to activate
a purpose – a purpose of servant-leadership where your welfare will be my highest priority; where injustice shall
have no hiding place; and where transparency shall be the light that guides our path. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
once said, “Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose.” My purpose is clear: to
fight for what is fair, to speak when silence is costly and to listen deeply, honestly, consistently. Together, we will revive your trust in the Union. I may have been elected Chairman, but I am one among
equals. We are many branches, but of one body. Let our differences be our diversity, not our division. My belief
as always been that, Unionism is not about noise; it is about voice. It is not about posturing; it is about positioning.”
