Although it is an unprofitable enterprise to join issues with these questionable reporter, but for the sake of posterity I find it imperative to give a response to the article titled
"An Appeal To Comrade Blackey" which aim is perceived to be a deliberate attempt to malign my personality and drag it to the mud.
Truly, the Ismaila Waliu Alao (Mandela) led administration bought a mini-van as incentive for Nigerian students with the aim of alleviating students suffering in terms of transportation as against the tradition of exploitation exemplified by previous administrations through production of note books as incentives.
The mini-van acquired by Mandela's administration was handed over to Adeniyi Julius Gbenga (Julius Ceasar) in good condition.
However, I was the chairman of transport committee. As the chairman of the transport committee, I stand bold to be corrected, that the Julius Ceasar administration deliberately neglected the bus so as to count political scores,ternish and undermine the efforts of Mandela's administration incentive as a result of pressure from the Students' Affairs Division.
In every organisation or association, the president as the head takes responsibility and he is answerable to any question posted to such organisation or as the case may be. Therefore if Adeniyi Julius can not answer questions on the whereabout of the Mandela incentive, he has successfully displayed his high level of leadership impotency. Moreover, it is quite unfortunate that the reporter could not subscribe to investigative journalism and some ethics of journalism such as objectivism and the rule of law (fair hearing) like our friends in the faculty of law will say "audi uterem pettem"(do not leave one side unheard).
The question of if the bus (Mandela's incentive) was sold for Blackey's campaign or if it has been dashed out to some people, been posted to me is a case of judgement before hearing. The question ought to be where is the bus? As there is no smoke without fire. Furthermore, as the chairman of transport committee and a parliamentarian with responsibility of making recommendations.
To whom it may concern, the recommendations of the committee has been delivered at the open sitting which took place on 15th April at the relaxation centre and was also pasted on notice boards around the campus for students digestion.
