Congratulatory Message: 2015 Presidential Election

Dear Forumites,

We appreciate you all for your support before, during and after the 2015 Presidential Election exercise. We wouldn't have achieved that much, if not for your immeasurable support. Almost all members turned Reporters. Kudos to all our indefatigable team in the Situation Room of Collation Centers in all the 36 State of Federal Republic of Nigeria and Federal Capital Territory; Most especially Lagos and Abuja.

After all said and done, let's remember we are still brothers and sisters regardless of our Ethnic, Political and Religion affiliation. We speak peace to Federal Republic of Nigeria; because it's only in peace, we can achieve true development and progress as a nation.

On behalf of the entire forum member, we congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari (APC), President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (PDP), Professor Attahiru Muhammadu Jega (INEC), all Political Stakeholders and Nigerians as a whole on the successful conduct of the 2015 Presidential Election. We hope to surpass the success recorded in the forthcoming April 11, 2015 Governorship and State House of Assembly Election.

On Comrade Adekunle Adeleke's progress gesture for the Forum. We have commissioned a three members Information Technology Committee (ITC); Samson Wahab - Chairman; Olufemi Adeleke - member and Tosin Olukanni – member. They shall work together as a team on development of robust App and Electronic Magazine website as suggested by our amiable senior comrade; and report to the management of the forum of their findings and cost implication.

Hmmmmmmmm! On political gesticulation to sponsor the forum promoter, Segun Olukanni to Osun State House of Assembly ; well noted for further political consultation within Ilesa East and West State constituency. It is sacrosanct to note that 2+2 in politics is always equal to 4. Nevertheless, we shall intensify more effort on our political consultation, and get back to the forum in due course. To this end, we encourage any member of the forum, who are politically inclined to contest for one political office or the other, to inform the forum on time, to enable us work together toward actualization of such political dream, regardless of their political affiliation.

On a final note, it’s my pleasure to inform you that the forum has been nominated for several awards, home and abroad for our independent participation in the just concluded presidential election. We shall hold general meeting soon, details on all of these shall be communicated in due course.

N.B. All recipients of this message is an automatic member of the Forum.

Once again! Thank you and God bless you All.

Long life Olukanni News Update Forum!
Long Life Federal Republic of Nigeria!!
