BEHOLD HON EMMANUEL OLUWASANYA OMIRIN A WORTHY GOVERNOR IN THE MAKING -BY DR TIMOTHY OLADELE GOLD FCPDM , FISPN
Magnanimity is intrinsic which can not be faked in any sense .History however has it that those sages that led men in the years of yore had something in common which grew up with them .
Looking critically into the lives of those who strive to make life better for all and sundry ,one would see amiability and trait of service delivery even at the most inconvenient circumstances that are capable of dismaying .
Honorable Emmanuel ‘ Sanya Omirin is a model to be emulated by any one who desires to be a good leader .His humble beginning is a great lesson to anyone who cares to appreciate metamorphosis in life.
A man born without any silver spoon but struggled through tick and thin to become accomplished .
One would be wondering if GOLD OF AFRICA INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE is partisan. It is essential to understand the simple fact that it is not criminal or rather unprofessional to reflect and relive great encounter with any benefactor whose integrity towers above everyone on the terrain he stands.
As the publisher, it became incumbent on me to put down a tribute to the Man of The People, Sanya Omirin whom I had a very cordial relationship with.
Conscientiously speaking, it would be a disservice to humanity if I show apathy towards his aspiration to lead the stated called Osun.
He is a firebrand politician and not a green horn. He is clearly riding on his reputation that he has built over the years .The soft spoken politician has served at different levels of government where he garnered the science and art of governance and bureaucracy. As a young Nigerian, Sanya became secretary to Atakunmosa East Local Government Iperindo where he served without any scandal recorded. This possibly led him to the state government where he was made a commissioner of a state commission and latter came back as the executive chairman of same Atakunmosa East Local Government ,Iperindo.
Sanya Omirin who started from local government level and thereafter graduated to state government got a big appointment at federal level. An appointment that distinguishes him from any other person on political pedestal in Osun. His appointment as federal commissioner ,revenue mobilization ,allocation and fiscal commission where he initially became chairman ,management committee and subsequently got the position of chairmanship of committee on oil and gas.
A well schooled Sanya with astute approach to issues will ever outrival as far as nepotism and cronyism are not involved.
His personal attitude has been determining his altitude. I could remember when i nominated him for the best local government chairman in Osun. An award event organized by African News Paper of Nigeria ANN Tribune title that covered all the chairmen of all the local government areas in Nigeria took place at Sheraton Hotel and Towers where Sanya proved his clout to the organizers as his members of entourage and well wishers took over 95 percent of the available sedentary space.
Eventually, the compere had to carry out a careful exercise to determine the cause of multum impervo, only to discover that Omirin has taken over all the seats.
As a matter of reminiscence, Tribune gave credence to the fact that Sanya Omirin is a man of the people, a democrat per excellence and indefatigable politician who knows his onions.
Apart from centre spread of the daily that could not contain all the pictorial of his achievements as Atakunmosa East Local Government Chairman.The phenomenon however confirmed his person at Lagos
While his recent award by Nigeria Union of Journalists, Osun State Chapter has benchmarked.
It is possible for any detractor to consider my write up a mere jobbery.This is often the game and name in politics. However, it is a responsibility on the part of the fourth estate of the realm to embrace fair and balanced reporting and shun mendacity .
While silence and concealment of auspicious facts that could move our society forward remains a crime against humanity .
Sanya Omirin is a giant palpable to the hearts of all and sundry even cyclopes see this clearly. His political height enables him to see far away into the future which equips him to be proactive in service delivery.
Osun needs a grass root leader who resides among the people, A good shepherd that smells sheep with the spirit of love for the people, adequate experience and integrity to manage the exiguous resources judiciously.
