The Chairman of Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, (OYOSUBEB), Dr. Nureni Adeniran, has charged the newly elected Deputy Chairman (South) of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Amb. Taofeek Arapaja, to be guided by the true “Omoluabi” ethos in discharging his official duties, asking him to use his position as a national leader to strengthen the support base for PDP and its organs.
Adeniran stated this today when he paid a congratulatory visit to Amb. Arapaja, at his Ibadan residence.
He said, “We are assured that Amb. Taofeek Arapaja will deploy his wealth of experience strengthened by the democratic tenets and principles of our great party, in his new mandate of leading the party as its National Deputy Chairman, South. We congratulate you and urge you to use this new position to further the advancement of our party and develop our Nation”.
In his response, Arapaja vowed to do everything within his capacity to ensure the party remains stronger than ever, with a view that the party emerges victorious in the 2023 general election.
“There was no victor, there was no vanquish. The contest was a family affair and we all had the same focus to rescue Nigeria from the claws of suppression to which the present government has subjected the nation. I admonish all of us to join hands together in this rescue mission we are set to embark on”, he concluded.
Arapaja was a former deputy governor in Oyo State as well as former Ambassador to Jodan. He was also a member of the Oyo State Teaching Service Commission as well as two term Chairman of Ibadan South East Local Government. He was elected to represent Ibadan South East and Ibadan North East federal constituency in the National Assembly between 2003 and 2007
