JUBILATION IN SOUTH WEST AS COMR. ADESHINA ADEWALE EXCEL EMERGES AS FIRST SOUTH WEST NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF HRRCN
The South West region is filled with jubilation as Comrade Adeshina Adewale Excel has emerged victorious in the election to become the first-ever National President of the Human Rights Report Commission of Nigeria (HRRCN) from the region. His triumph was declared by the Chairman of the HRRCN Electoral Commission after he met all the stipulated requirements for the position. This historic win has sparked celebrations across the South West as supporters hailed the landmark achievement.
Comrade Excel secured a total of 216 votes out of 364, surpassing the electoral threshold, which required a candidate to win at least one-third of the regions and secure no less than 10% in half of the regions. His landslide victory is seen as a reflection of the overwhelming support he received from across the country, especially within the South West, where his candidacy was met with widespread approval.
In his remarks, Comrade Ayoola, the Coordinator of the South West region, expressed deep gratitude to Comrade Eromosele Godwin for his instrumental support in galvanizing voters from various regions to back the South West candidate. According to Ayoola, Eromosele's strategic efforts and commitment helped unify key voting blocs in favor of Comrade Excel, leading to his decisive victory.
Comrade Adeshina Adewale Excel, who has now earned the nickname "Small Body, Big Engine" due to his energetic campaign and dedication, has pledged to work diligently towards advancing the mission of the HRRCN. He reiterated his commitment to fighting for the rights of the masses and focusing on human rights advocacy, which has been a cornerstone of his agenda.
Addressing the jubilant crowd after his victory, Comrade Excel assured supporters that he would ensure that the HRRCN becomes a stronger voice for the people. His administration, he noted, will prioritize extensive electoral training programs aimed at equipping citizens with knowledge and tools to advocate for their rights.
The election has been widely praised for its transparency and adherence to laid-down procedures, making Comrade Excel's win all the more significant. His victory is viewed as a win not only for the South West but for human rights activists across the country who have long sought a leader with his vision and determination.
Comrade Ayoola further noted that the victory has sent a strong message about the potential and unity of the South West region. He called on members of the HRRCN to rally behind Comrade Excel as he embarks on the critical task of leading the Commission into a new era.
As celebrations continue across the South West, Comrade Excel has been urged by various stakeholders to remain focused on his agenda and ensure that his leadership ushers in significant reforms that will benefit all regions equally. His victory, they say, is just the beginning of a transformative journey for the HRRCN.
The new President has promised to hit the ground running, with plans to convene a meeting of key stakeholders within the HRRCN to outline his strategy for the next phase of the Commission's activities. His leadership, according to many, will be defined by inclusivity, transparency, and a relentless pursuit of justice for all.
The Human Rights Report Commission of Nigeria is poised to enter a new chapter under the leadership of Comrade Adeshina Adewale Excel, with high hopes that his presidency will bring about significant progress and positive change for human rights advocacy nationwide.
Signed,
Ayoola Kazeem
