RE: ONDO APC PRIMARY: RUGIPO Ag. COUNCIL CHAIR, OMONIYI, CONGRATULATES AIYEDATIWA.
The attention of the Workers’ Unions in Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo have been drawn to a congratulatory message said to have been authored by one Dr.Olubunmi Omoniyi dated Wednesday, 24th April, 2024 to felicitate with the Executive Governor of Ondo, His Excellency Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, on his victory in the Ondo State All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship primary election held on Saturday, 20th April, 2024.
In the said message, Dr. Olubunmi Omoniyi purportedly paraded herself as the “Acting Chairman” of the Governing Council of Ondo state owned institution, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo.
Ordinarily, we should have ignored her obsession and clandestine attempts to continue to live in illusion that she is the “acting Governing Council Chairman” of the Polytechnic, a nomenclature that is alien to the Laws of Ondo State that established the Polytechnic. For the consideration of the reading members of the public, we need to make a clarification on her baseless assumption for the umpteenth time.
It is on record that on the 19th of December, 2023, the entire workforce of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo resolved and passed a “VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE” on Dr. Olubunmi Omoniyi as “acting Chairman” of the Polytechnic and declared her PERSONA NON GRATA. This decision was immediately communicated to the then Ag. Governor and now the substantive Governor of Ondo state, His Excellency Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa.
Also, on 27th March, 2024 another letter of reminder was communicated to Mr. Governor re-enforcing our earlier stand that Dr. Olubunmi Omoniyi and Mr. Muyiwa Asagunla have lost the confidence of the workforce of the institution and therefore stand declared “persona non grata”.
The workforce of the Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo wishes to inform the Public to be wary of Dr. Olubunmi Omoniyi and Mr Muyiwa Asagunla as the duo a subsisting “Vote of No Confidence”passed on them, and that they have been declared “personal non grata”.
They are not acceptable to be representing the Governing Council of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo.
We passionately appeal to Mr. Governor, as the Visitor, to appoint a substantive Chairman for the council which may be among members of the present Council or any candidate of his choice.
Finally, the entire workforce of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owo once again congratulate our Visitor, H E Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa for his triumphant outing in the just concluded primary election of his party APC. More wins to the Man of the Masses.
