Offa Youth Council Takes Action Against ODU Spokesman

Re: Vote of No Confidence in the National Public Relations Officer, Taofeek Olaosebikan

I am writing on behalf of the Offa Youth Council, the umbrella body representing the interests of the youth and allied associations of Offa, to formally express our vote of no confidence in the current National Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Offa Descendants Union (ODU), Mr. Taofeek Olaosebikan.

Our decision is driven by Mr. Olaosebikan’s blatant disregard for the principles of patriotism, transparency, and respect for the diverse opinions that form the foundation of Offa’s progressive unity. Specifically, Mr. Olaosebikan’s recent actions involving the unjust removal of Ààrẹ Musbau Ọlálékan Olaniyi from all ODU platforms—simply for airing his legitimate concerns regarding the non-usage of the ODU Hall for the upcoming 2024 Channels TV Debate—are unacceptable and authoritarian in nature.

Mr. Olaosebikan’s justification, labeling Ààrẹ Musbau Ọlálékan’s opinion as an affront to ODU’s leadership, reflects a dictatorial attitude that is inconsistent with the values of openness and constructive dialogue.

Ààrẹ Musbau Ọlálékan Olaniyi is from Ile Sakosi, in Shawo Ward , As a member of Offa community for over 3 decades, Ààrẹ Musbau Ọlálékan Olaniyi has served diligently in various capacities for the past 2decades, contributing significantly to both youth development and the economic growth of Offa. Ààrẹ Musbau dedication is evident in his distinguished service as:

Assistant General Secretary of the Offa Students’ Union at Kaduna Polytechnic (2004/2005),

National Amir of Al-Imam Muhydeen Islamic Foundation,

Member of Offa Youth Forum, Kaduna Chapter,

Membership of ODU In Kaduna , Abuja and Lagos

President of the Offa Youth Council,

Member, Offa Metropolitan Club ( OMC )

CEO of PrintBest Nigeria Limited and Zeems Sports Arena—both of which have provided employment opportunities for Offa indigenes,

Traditional title holder as Ààrẹ Bobajiroro of Offa, under the esteemed leadership of His Royal Majesty, the Olofa of Ọfà.

And many other Offa Centric Association and Union with mandate for Offa Development.

Given Ààrẹ Musbau Ọlálékan Olaniyi’s unwavering commitment to the welfare of Offa, it is disheartening that a patriotic figure like him is being publicly maligned and unjustly censured by the National PRO.

Mr. Olaosebikan’s actions seem to be a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and tarnish the reputation of an individual who has been a pillar of progress in Offa.

The Offa Youth Council, in recognition of these facts, stands in unanimous agreement to pass a vote of no confidence in Mr. Taofeek Olaosebikan. His behavior does not reflect the democratic values of ODU , and his actions risk sowing discord within our community, Mr. Olaosebikan should resign inorder to halt the disunity his actions is currently causing Offa. We urge the ODU Executive Council to take immediate action to address this situation and ensure that the principles of fairness and unity prevail in all future engagements.

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. We look forward to your prompt response and swift resolution in the best interest of our beloved Offa.

Yours sincerely,

Dated: 6th October, 2024

Vice President 1
